BARLING 3229

December 22, 2024December 22, 2024

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″)
Bowl Height 3.7 cm (1.46″)
Outside Diameter 3.5 cm (1.38″)
Chamber Diameter 1.8 cm (0.71″)
Chamber Depth 3.0 cm (1.18″)
Weight 27 gr.

Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

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

England, 1950s Barling family-era pipes are a pleasure to work with, not only because they are highly sought after by collectors, but also because they are incredibly durable.

England, 1930s The pipe obtained with a collection of very interesting pre WWII English and American pipes. We’d like to draw your attention to the absense of any size stamps on the pipe, these size stamps were really rare before the WWII and became frequently used and expanded only in the 1940s. Fantastic pipe in…
