Camilla,
 
    I have found a pipe bowl as you described on an 18th-c. fort site in
Winslow, Maine.  The site is that of Fort Halifax, 1754 - 1767.  The pipe is
no doubt 19th c. and relates to subsequent occupation of the site.  The
figure is called a "turk's head".  I know I've seen a picture of it and got
that term from some source, but I can't immediately lay my hands on that
source.  CLAY PIPE RESEARCH Vol. 2 (ed. Reg & Philomena Jackson, 1991) shows
a similar style of an Edward VI coronation pipe on p. 51.  I can get you a
couple photos of the pipe from Ft. Halifax if that would help.
 
Good Luck, Lee Cranmer

Per,
 
        I'm really interested on pipes. would you give us the complete
reference
of the paper about patriotic simbolism on pipes?
        And a new question for all:
        Does anyone know something about pipes with a human face on the bowl ?
More specificaly: a bearded man, that sometimes is represented with a
turbant. I've already seen a reference that in France there is something
similar that is called "the Jacob".
 
                                Thank's for any help,
                                        Camilla
