Jim:  Check out:  Pfeiffer, Michael A., Clay Tobacco Pipes From the
Fontenelle Site.  In: The Fontenelle and Cabane Trading Posts:  The History
and Archaeology of Two Missouri River Sites, 1822-1838, pages 143-160.  The
paper shows two different styles of white ball clay Masonic Emblem pipes.
Two more Masonic Emblem pipes are reported in Chapter 14 (pages 234-256) of
my Master's thesis:  Clay Tobacco Pipes and the Fur Trade of the Pacific
Northwest and Northern Plains, Pages 248 (fig. 42b) & 252 (1982, University
of Idaho, Moscow).  The photocpies of the illustrations for the Ft. Union
pipes in my Thesis really suck.  I had to take photographs since I could
not take the artifacts out of the Midwest Archaeological Center to get
decent drawings of them.  I can not draw a recognizable stick figure on a
good day.

References to Masonic emblem clay tobacco pipes are scattered
hither-thither & yon (either a technical term or law firm) throughout the
historical archaeological literature.  The problem is finding them.

Mary --

Sorry to pile a request on top of your request, but I'd be interested if
you still have a copy of the paper on pipes with Masonic symbols.  We
recovered a really remarkable example with the compass and square on one
side of the bowl and an elk skull facing the smoker.  It came out of a
firm 1765-1770 context, a privy w/material culture from Newport's
illustrious Stamp Master, Martin Howard.  His house (the
Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House) was trashed in a rolling three-day riot and
most of his household seems to have ended up in this privy.  We have a
draft summary of last season's work that I can send you or your student
if you contact me off list.

Best,
