RT Smoking Pipe Bowl Rim and Heel

One mended white ball clay smoking pipe bowl rim and heel with a plain rim consisting of three fragments. The interior section of the bowl facing the smoker is stamped with the initials "RT." The interior of the bowl is blackened from smoking. The right side of the bowl has an illegible and worn cartouche. The pipe can likely be attributed to Robert Tippet (ca. 1660-1713) from Bristol.
