16 inch clay pipe
Please take note that we do not ship the pipes alone, because of shipping costs.
Product description:
Our clay pipes are typical of those used in colonial times, and used extensively. It is a typical tavern pipe of mid-eighteenth-century, with a length of 16 inches.
Historical Information:
The main discovery of smoking tobacco was first recorded by European explorers to the 'New World' in the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st. Famous names such as Walter Raleigh spring to mind and it was these early explorers who first indulged in the smoking culture of native Americans Indians there and thus the first pipes were brought back to England in the period of about 1570. Prior to this tobacco smoking was carried out in the ancient tribes as an important social and religious culture which had been passed down for thousands of years. Small amounts had also been brought across to Europe as a medicinal herb in earlier decades.
The first tobacco pipes smoked in England had an extremely small clay bowl and the amount of tobacco used was barely a pinch. Only the rich could afford to indulge in this strange encounter which was also frowned upon by many people, especially the religious leaders of that time. It has been said that Sir Walter Raleigh, one of the first smokers was interrupted by a protective servant throwing water over him thinking he was on fire!
At first the tobacco plant was brought back to England and grown successfully as a large crop, however, King James was not a supporter of the habit and ordered the fields to be destroyed in an attempt to ban smoking. This created a lot of public interest and smoking became even more popular as a result! In the end he decided to allow tobacco to be imported with a tax instead of being grown in the country.
Men, women and children smoked tobacco and were also involved in the production of clay pipes either as a main trade or to supplement their income. Hundreds of makers all over the country produced millions of pipes which were cheap, expendable and sometimes even given away free at the local tavern. It was often the case after one use that a pipe was tossed away in the nearest convenient place in the same manner as litter is today. This is why the remains of clay pipes often turn up in so many locations.
In the first half of the 17th century people were persecuted by religious leaders for smoking because they saw it as the flames of hell coming from the very mouth; but during desperate times of the plague people were punished if they did not smoke tobacco because it was thought to heal them.
Between the periods of 1600 and 1750 there were several interesting changes in the shape and size of the clay pipe although a decorative leaning in England did not emerge fully before about 1750. Tobacco became cheaper and available to all folk who wished to partake in this established social culture and as a result the size of the pipe bowl was gradually increased over the years. Other changes included the length of the clay stem; it was popular at one time to have longer stems as this cooled the smoke before it reached the mouth. Also, the design incorporated a flat rounded 'heel' at the base of the bowl which sometimes enabled the pipe to rest upright when placed on a flat surface or gripped firmly while in use. Often the maker (especially a well favoured one) would stamp his or her initials on the bottom of this. A decorative 'milling' feature was also applied to the rim of the bowl to finish it off neatly. The diameter of the hole in the stem appears to have been made generally smaller between the 1600 and 1850 periods; with these clues it is possible for the experienced collector to date a specimen usually to within 20 years of manufacture without archaeological records.
As the Napoleonic period gave way to the mid 1850's and the oncoming industrial revolution, again fashion changed. During this time all aspects of Victorian life and culture were incorporated into the design of the pipe. This continued and became more elaborate until the beginning of world war 1 in 1914. Here are just a few of the many themes: Floral, Botanical, Abstract, Wildlife, Famous people including Royalty and political figures, Military emblems, Objects such as guns, bottles, musical Instruments, Pub names, Sporting events, Political campaigns, Societies, Seasonal events, Maritime scenes.
In the mid to late 19th century the use of wood and Meerschaum materials became very favourable as well as the traditional clay. Also at this time, the cigar and cigarette were invented and became so successful that many clay pipe manufacturers stopped production. They also faced stiff competition from very large French, German and Dutch firms who produced millions of pipes each year, some with steam powered machines!
Finally, the industry, like many, suffered a final blow at the outbreak of world war 1. Cheap cigarettes were far more desirable due to low income and forthcoming fashion trends. Less than a handful of makers continued to produce and the clay pipe industry finally faded out... but not quite...
As well as some Scottish firms and one in Shropshire; a successful company in Manchester, John Pollock & Co. who started in 1879, continued to produce pipes and this family business was still supplying to smokers and the bigger collectors market in the 1980's.
A few potters and clay pipe enthusiasts still produce clay pipes today keeping an age old tradition alive.

Buttons 0.5
Product details :
Our buttons are cast from an original one and are in white metal plate. They are sold by dozen
Historical information:
Buttons have been in use for hundreds of years. In very early times, clothing was fastened with ties or pins, but gradually toggles and buttons as we know them came to be in use. Many ancient burials have included buttons or button-like objects. In the Early and Middle Bronze Age, large buttons were primarily used to fasten cloaks. By the 13th century, buttons were widely in use, mainly as decoration. As most clothing of that time period was closed with lacing or hooks, garments didn’t use buttons as methods of closing on a regular basis until the last half of the 16th century. Most of the buttons from this time period were small, but over the next century or so they became larger and very ornate, often using precious metals and jewels. During the 17th and18th Century, most buttons were worn by men.
By the 18th century, buttons were becoming larger, and had even more elaborate designs. Buttons continued to make a fashion statement and the button-making industry hit such a high standard that the period from 1830-1850 has become known as the Golden Age. As mass production techniques progressed, and new synthetic materials were developed, the general standard declined. From 1860 on, women have been the main consumers of “novelty” buttons. A button is officially an object that can be used to fasten garments, with either a shank (usually a loop) on the back used to sew the button to the clothing, or with holes in the centre to allow thread to pass through the body of the button.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
