Back in the 80's we found a white clay pipe in a laborer's house at
Fayette, MI, an iron-smelting village (1867-1891) on northern Lake
Michigan, with a buck on one side of the bowl and a cannon on the other....
cannot remember the details, but learned somehow that this was a campaign
pipe for James Buchanan's 1856 run for the Presidency.
