White clay pipes are commonly found at British and American sites dating from the eighteenth to mid-nineteenth century. We find them at both mainland and island sites in the straits area. These two bowls are from a cache found under the Quartermaster’s Storehouse at Fort Mackinac. The initials “T.D.” are a common design; here they are surrounded by thirteen stars, probably representing the original thirteen colonies. The thistle design bowl has a rose on the other side.
