-“To signal engineers, the ‘pipes of peace’ are signal pipes painted with Dixon’s Silica-Graphite Paint. In peace of mind it is worth much to the man in the tower to know that the pipes under his operation are …”  (“Signal Pipes, Boston Terminal Station,” Graphite, June 1913). In the late 1960s, there was a system called Peace Pipe that could pinpoint ground locations to within 25 yards with the aircraft as much as 50 miles from the drop zone. And I’m not surprised to find several, tasteless slang definitions of the phrase pass the peace pipe in the urban dictionary, most of which are not repeatable here.

 I’ll not list the many artists whose paintings bear the title “The Pipe of Peace,” “The Peace Pipe,” and “Peace Pipe”; there a more than a few. The Presidential medals of Thomas Jefferson, Martin van Buren and John Tyler are incised with two clasped hands, a tomahawk, a pipe, and the message, “Peace and Friendship.” Pipe of Peace was card number 188 in a set of 216 Indian Chewing Gum trade cards from Boston’s Goudy Gum Company. Worthy Brewing, Bend, Oregon, introduced Peace Pipe Porter in 2016.  Peace Pipe is a popular drink consisting of Peleton mezcal, orange curacao, yellow chartreuse, jalapeno chili infusion, lime, orange, and ice.

Geum triflorum JS ‘Peace Pipe’ is a perennial known as grandfather’s beard or lion’s beard.

-This quotation is from Wm. Demuth Company magazine ads of the 1900s: “The Wellington Pipe of today represents the world’s greatest value—the universal pipe of peace.” “Missouri’s production of corn cob pipes, the modern pipes of peace which make tobacco taste the sweetest, mounted in 1909 to 27,733,260 pipes, as compared with 24,671,460 pipes for the year 1908” (“Missouri’s Corn Cob Pipe Industry,” Surplus Products Missouri Counties for the Year Ending Jan. 1, 1910).

-A Tuxedo tobacco ad from around 1915: “For ‘The Smoke of Battle’ and the ‘Pipe of Peace.’ Here are today’s marching orders. …It’s good for you when you’re going into action—and when you’re at peace with the world.” This ad is not far-fetched: “Among other achievements, they [Knights of Columbus] helped to make the Christmas of 1918 a most memorable one for hundreds of thousands of young Americans in France by the distribution of thousands of peace pipes, by extra supplies of chocolate and tobacco, and, at least one section, by the distribution of plum pudding cooked by a noted expert chef” (Maurice F. Egan and John J. B. Kennedy, The Knights of Columbus in Peace and War, 1920).

 From a 1926 ad for Granger Rough Cut tobacco: “Granger makes a peace-pipe of a bucking briar. It is, in fact, a peace-pipe smoke.” Peace Pipe Smoking Blend is a mixture of nine relaxing herbs specially blended to provide a peaceful and pleasurable smoking experience, sold by Grandfather’s Spirit, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
