Item Details
Description
19th century AD. A complete clay pipe with stem and collar, pad beneath the bowl with ridged mouth; to each side of the bowl, a skull with motto 'Death / & / Glory'. See Oswald, A. Clay Pipes for the Archaeologist, British Archaeology Report 14, Oxford, 1975. 19 grams, 11cm (4 1/4"). Property of a gentleman; acquired in the 1970s. Probably produced at the Pollock factory in Manchester, founded by Edward Pollock in 1879. A catalogue illustrates this design as 'No 95 - Death & Glory. C. Cutty' - which probably means the design name is 'Death & Glory', a reference to the 17th Lancers, whose motto was 'Death or Glory'.
