Stolen in 1940, stashed away for 80 years, finally returned now, wow.

Nice piece of history. I guess Seneca didn't clench. It looks like it would hold just enough tobacco for a small group of people to get one puff each. Much more of a ceremonial device than a smoking implement. And handy if the negotiations go bad.

This is very cool.
I thought a tomahawk pipe existed only in Moby Dick.
Thanks for sharing these articles.

I wonder if anyone on the forum has actually ever smoked a tomahawk pipe...?

  Smoked one of these on a smaller scale around a campfire in Loas.

"Officials there decided to loan it to the Senecas"
Loaned it to them...typical...stole their land and tried to destroy their culture...they got some balls...should have been given back where it belongs and let the Indian tribe decide its future. JMHO.

I see the tomahawk pipes turn up frequently at brick and mortar auctions...some have provenance, some don't and that affects the price naturally....I have seen some go for far less than I thought they would, and in other cases swing the other way.
