Smoking Pipe Stem, Heel and Bowl Rim

Four fragments from a white ball clay smoking pipe comprised of stem, heel, bowl, and rim fragments. The exterior of the bowl is blackened with smoking stains but the staining is not visible on the interior. The rim is plain with no visible decoration. The side of the bowl has a partially illegible cartouche that appears to have a "G-" maker's mark with an additional unknown letter following it. The heel is a tall and narrow, slanted spur.
