Peale Museum Accessions Book, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, p. 40

Notes:

The pipe pictured here may once have been in the Peale Museum. It is one of the many cultural items that the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography, Harvard University, acquired in 1899 from Moses Kimball's Boston Museum. Kimball and P. T. Barnum jointly purchased many of the Peale collections when they were sold about 1849.
