Watch List notes:

Very long (intact) clay "church warden" smoking pipe in custom wood-and-glass case. 26 grams, 15" long, the case 20" x 5" x 2". If you think you have seen how long an intact clay pipe is, look at this piece and marvel at its extreme length, with slight curvature at the mouth end, very thin and delicate throughout and therefore amazing to have survived the wreck, a British wooden sailing ship bound for present-day Nigeria from Liverpool with a cargo of pipes (among other necessities) that encountered a storm and sank off the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, its wreckage lost to history until salvaged in 1992 With original certificate (hand signed) from the salvager and housed in a custom box with plaque on top showing name and date of wreck. Recovered from: Adgillus, sunk in 1874 in the Irish Sea

Estimate: $200
