Dec. 13 / 1862, with leaves and branches below, which extend to the base of the bowl toward the shank. Bowl's reverse side relief carved, Thomas + Morris. With inlaid bone hearts positioned near the rim of the bowl, on the right and left sides. With a wide brass band encircling the edge of the shank, into which the stem would fit. Accompanied by stem, although we cannot confirm if it is original to the pipe. Overall width of bowl and shank approx. 4 in., including stem 11 in.; bowl height 3 in., dia. 2.125 in.
The Battle of Fredericksburg, VA was fought from December 11-15, 1862, and concluded with a Confederate victory and heavy casualties suffered on the Union side. No further information has been uncovered regarding Thomas Morris and his Civil War service record, but he almost certainly participated in what is considered one of the most one-sided battles of the war.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Some light dirt/soiling built up along perimeter of each inlaid heart, light surface wear. Inventory number inked on band at end of shank. An attractive pipe.Condition
