We recovered a George Washington smoking pipe from 1981 excavations at the Betts-Longworth Historic Distric in downtown Cincinnati. It was from a looted privy backdirt, so just general 19th century date, although I am very confident of the Uslar attribution and corresponding dates.
Here is the label copy.
Earthenware anthropomorphic smoking pipe; green glazed; presidential pipe, WASHINGTON on stem; probable Uslar, Germany, ca. 1830-1866; Feature 88, backdirt, 431 Elizabeth Street; A43960

Corey,
We recovered a Franklin Pierce pipe from the Maynard-Burgess house in Annapolis. Paul Mullins talks about it a bit in his book, Race and Affluence. There is also a line drawing of the pipe in the books as well.
Best,

Subject: Benjamin Harrison Tobacco Pipe
We recently found a tobacco pipe made for one of Benjamin Harrison's presidential campaigns (1888-1892) behind a grocery store/saloon in one of Albany, NY's poorer Irish communities at the time. I am looking for other examples of Benjamin Harrison (or other presidential pipes) in archaeological contexts, possibly for a paper topic. Take a look at pages 22 and 23 of the linked article for an example of what they look like. The pipe had Ben's face on one side and an eagle and shield on the other. Protection for American Labor was embossed on the stem. If you know your history, Harrison presided over the Homestead riots in Pennsylvania just months before his re-election campaign, and we all know how that turned out. Thanks! http://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=4062&d=x6CT1N25bvu_Hq0qX1Wiz3S_PQypfXgOj_qmL-JZ4g&s=675&u=https%3a%2f%2fwww%2euark%2eedu%2fcampus-resources%2farchinfo%2fSCHACPresidentPipes%2epdf
