The pipe was used by Archelaus Row who lived at 15 William Street, Armadale in the mid 1900s.
The pipe represents a time when smoking was common, even popular, before the dangers of smoking were widely known in the community its popularity diminished. The pipe would have been an item Archelaus would have carried with him as well as had around the house so he could indulge it when needed.
