    Hello Collectors Weekly and fellow collectors

    I found this item while treasure seeking.
    I'm thinking this may be American Indian tool, possibly Navajo.
    Is it a weaving tool? What could it be?
    I am always searching for Indian related items, but this has me stumped.
    Thanks Jenniecollects ?

      This is a pipe stem.

      A pipe stem?? Theres no way...
    3. Tlynnie1942 Tlynnie1942, 12 years ago
      If you look closely at the ends, they are hollow. I have seen many of these pipes and this one just does not have the pipe part attached. So, way.

      Plus, I did not say it was a "working" one.

      Look at ebay
      261098792100 is the item number. You will see another cutout pipe stem much like this one.

      Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Tlynnie1942!
      Mystery solved , now I can further my research and try to pin point if this could be a Peace Pipe and it's age. Jenniecollects ?

      Jenniecollects, did you see what the other pipe stem (item number 261098792100) went for on Ebay? WOW!! Although it did have the pipe part still too, that is a great price! I did not look at the other one to see what it went for though. But the amount blew me away.....:)

      Not just a pipe stem, but a puzzle pipe stem with quillwork. Great find.
