BARLING 3229

England, 1950-60s

This pipe is not a product of the Barling family period, but it clearly retains many of the characteristic traits of that era: the shape, the mouthpiece profile, and the distinctive Barling-style button. Therefore, we can confidently conclude that the pipe was crafted not long after the transition period, still carrying the charm and essence of the classic Barling’s legacy.

Pipe markings “Barling \ 3229 \ MADE IN ENGLAND” (a bit difficult to read)
Length 12.9 cm (5.08″)

Chamber Diameter 1.8 cm (0.71″)
Chamber Depth 3.0 cm (1.18″)

The pipe was accurately smoked, it has been thoroughly cleaned, polished, sanitized and now is ready for a new life.
