content: "Micmac" style pipe bowl: "vase" shape set on a constricted stem with a bar-shaped base; base has 8 vertical perforations. The Exploring Expedition had dealings with Hudson's Bay Company employees when they were in Oregon Territory in 1841, so the Hudson's Bay Company is one possible source for this pipe.
