It's a clay pipe from Princeton graduation from the 1890's. Tradition dictated that these pipes were smoked only once during commencement and then smashed over the butt end of a burried cannon barrel. This one survived unsmoked and will remain that way. I have no clue what it's worth or if it's worth anything at all but it seems to me that it was important enough to the family member who graduated to keep it their whole life in pristine condition I ought to honor that. Any pipe I don't smoke generally gets moved along to someone that will appreciate it and use it.Jim</blockquote>
