Found a old pipe digging

Diggertom · Mar 31, 2015

So I was digging in the creek yesterday in eldorado as I do most days.

I found this old pipe (99 percent sure) it's a pipe anyway.

Just wondering I anyone may know of approximately age or origins.

It looks hand made and I will need to clean it, which I also don't know how to do so tips would be appreciated

I think you're right Bacchus, teapot spout I'd say.

Yea I just went and saw a old fella around here and he said possible teapot or part of a car.

But the end of it does look like a teapot now I think of it lol.

Thanks guys!

Well I was going to say it was the spout from a cast iron kettle but same thing it's just the size that'll make the difference. Now I'm not sure on the cleaning but I think I heard that you soak it molasses to have it come up like new. Phil
