| PA-024 Early Clay Tobacco Pipe This smoking pipe is a reproduction of a very early tobacco pipe from the 17th century. Generally speaking, the smaller the pipe bowl, the earlier the pipe. Tobacco consumption in Europe was still somewhat of a novelty in the 17th century and the product was expensive and somewhat in short supply. The tobacco found in North America at the time of the arrival of European colonists was a wild tobacco that was strong and harsh. A small amount went a long way so a pipe with a small bowl was sufficient. These pipes are made of fine kaolin clay, also known as “American porcelain.” Pipe measures 4 ½ inches overall. $6.00 |

PA-025 Pamplin Pipe from Appomattox County, Virginia This pipe bowl is a true antique and we are pleased to be able to bring these to our customers. The Pamplin Smoking Pipe Company made clay pipes from 1740 until the early 1950’s when it went out of business. These pipe bowls were purchased at that time and have been in storage ever since. So that makes them more than 50 years old – genuine antiques! They have been washed and checked for cracks and have been fitted with a new stem. We use bamboo for the stem and custom-fit each stem to the bowl before shipping. These pipes are about as right as it gets for a 200 year period in the American history of tobacco use. If these pipes are used for smoking tobacco today, and they become clogged with tars or turn black over time, simply remove the stem from the bowl and place the bowl on a bed of coals in your campfire. The heat will burn away the contaminants and return the clay to its white color. $8.00 | ||||||||
| PA-027 Clay Tobacco Pipe This pipe measures about 7 inches in length and is one of our most popular pipes. It is of a style commonly used during the 18th century and is more easily transported in a haversack than is the long tavern-style pipe. It is made of fine kaolin clay like our other pipes. $8.00 |

| PA-034 Copper, Brass and Glass Earrings In this pair of earrings, Jim DeReign uses three of the most common materials used by Native Americans for decorations after they made contact with European traders: brass cones, glass trade beads, and copper discs (in this case, hammered from old pennies.)

PA-037 Sailor's Bracelet This traditional sailor's bracelet is crafted from about six feet of linen rope and a French Marine brass coat button. While they have been documented to the early 19th century, we are not certain how much farther back in time these articles were worn by sailors. One story has it that as the linen became worn, it acted as a sort of absorbent cloth for mopping sweat from the sailor's eyes while up in the rigging. These come in various lengths to accommodate different size wrists. Please state your wrist circumference for a correct fit. The braclets are all handcrafted by Jim DeReign. $12.00 | ||||||||

Size is 25 inches wide by 35 inches long. $8.00 | ||||||||
| PA-047 Sandalwood Fan It is thought that folding fans were invented about 1,500 years ago in Japan. Their value as an easy way to cool the user helped spread their popularity throughout the Far East by the time European traders from Portugal came across them in the 1400’s. They realized the market appeal fans would have in Europe and began importing them. By the 18th century fans were in widespread use by both men and women across Europe and in the colonies. They were being manufactured in Europe, China and Japan and being imported to the New World. Our fan is made of sandalwood and is imported all the way from China. $2.00 |
