Don't know how old this is. We found it in the attic of an old house we owned in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The house was built in 1880. This was found in under some floor boards with other 19th century items.

It measure 13 1/2" x 4 3/4" and appears to have been folded in 1/2 at one time. The right side has 4 nail holes. The left side is not quite square - like it had been cut or trimmed by hand.

Here are a pair of antique tobacco pipes, with lids.

One is a wood carving of a deer and the other is a clay pipe.

I'm not sure how old these are. I remember my Grandparents having them when I was young and I'm pushing retirement age now.

The 1st has a wood carving on the bowl of what looks like a deer on the front and a tree and fence on the back.

The bottom piece has the initials C.K.P. carved within a triangle on the base piece.

There is some slight fraying of the flexible tube where it attaches to the stem. There is some paint splatter on the base and stem. Otherwise the pipe appears in good shape.

The 2nd pipe has a clay bowl. It is chipped near the base of the bowl, has a well worn/frayed flexible piece and a spot of paint at the base & spatter.
