"TD" Smoking Pipe Bowl

The makers mark consists of the initials "TD" in a cartouche of stars. TD marked pipes are believed to have originated in London with the 18th-century pipe maker Thomas Dormer. By the 19th century, TD-marked pipes had become a generic mark and no longer indicative of a particular maker.
