There are unique types of pipes found in various parts of the country, particu- larly in Georgia and the Caroliuas, some of which appear to have followed copper originals and some to have been in- fluenced by Euro- pean models. In Maryland shell- heaps there has been found a type of pipe, to which it is difficult to assign a date, re- sembling the trade pipes that were made in large quantities in England, France, Italy, Holland, and Germany to supply the demand during the early colonial period, many of the latter being distin- guishable by designs or initials Smof:i7ig, Tobacco.
