Lead Mid-Century Platform Pipe made by Billy Guthrie
Description
Mid-Century Platform Pipe made by the late Billy Guthrie. An unusual variation of the platform pipe with an elbowed base there were a good number of these made from the 1950's to 1970's. It may have had to do with the shape of the stone used. There have been many of these pictured in books over the years by less than knowledgeable book authors. A good example very similar to this one made of a different stone can be found on the front cover of Legends of Prehistoric Art 1 - A good modern reference book with nice pictures of pretty artifacts and ancient artifacts. This pipe has a sticker that reads P-38 #40 Green County, IL. It may be pictured in a book somewhere produced over the past 100 years. Or, the numbers may have no meaning at all. We see stickers with made up provenance regularly on pipes, bannerstones, axes and other hardstone items coming mainly from the state of Illinois where they have been made over the past 100 years by various modern makers and sold as ancient by fraudulent sellers. Before dishonest or incompetent authenticators started papering modern made pieces, putting stickers on modern pieces was how dealers attempted to fool people to part them from their money but there were also honest collectors that kept records that way. They always have a story..... Pipe has a good draw to it. Billy didn't leave out that detail that we have noticed in his work. Functional art mimicing Native American pieces he had seen and handled. Stone is brown. May be a form of hard limestone. 3 7/8" long by 3" tall Modern
