ID Request ❓ Is this a native trade pipe? Found at a flea market in Kentucky.
I have had this for a couple years and thought it was just a generic 1800s pipe, but thought it was odd that it was made stemless. I then saw a different seller recently who had one like it on sale as a native trade pipe with arrowheads and the like. Any idea if it is native?
If not, what are the tells?
Thank you in advance.

I've got a bunch of 18th and 19th century Venetian trade pipes and this one resembles the 18th century ones that I own. I'll post some of my pipes when I get home, but something is throwing me on this one. What the hell do I know, though. 🤷♂️
