BARLING Londoner 326s

England, 1960s

After the acquisition of the Barling family business by Imperial Tobacco the production of pipes has been moved to other countries such as Italy, Denmark and France. Our pipe is quite rare because from one hand it also belong to the period just after the acquisition but on the other hand it has been made still in England.

It was really a pleasure to renew this pipe because both briar and vulcanite are still of very good quality. And we are certain that smoking of this featherweight (it weights 23 gr only!) pipe will be a pleasure as well!

The pipe markings are “LONDONER \ LONDON.ENGLAND” and “326S”. The lenghts is 13.6 cm (5.35″), bowl’s hight is 3.6 cm (1.42″). External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.4 cm (1.34″) and 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 2.9 cm (1.14″) and this pipe weights 23 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England, 1940-50s An eye catching decent size classical English poker pipe made at Barling’s family factory between 1941 and 1962, i.e. during the pre-transition period. The arched BARLING’S MAKE logo is already of a full size, larger than before WWII. There’s still no shape number, but the stamping “EXEXEL” was introduced after 1941 when Barling…

England, 1976 In the beginning Dunhill created Bruyere. And several years (1910-1917) it was the single brand made by the company of a firm and dense Calabrian briar. And though pre WWII “bruyeres” were marked just by a letter “A” instead of model, the Bruyere series is the one of the oldest long-livers not only…

Englad, 1970s A nice and practical Barling pipe from the corporate period, most likely dating to the 1970s. While it may not hold the same collector’s value as the “family” Barlings, this pipe certainly deserves attention: quality briar, precise craftsmanship, and an elegant silver collar bearing the famous marking—sure to catch anyone’s eye. Pipe markings…

USA, 1960-70s A quite moderately smoked legendary American Kaywoodie pipe made approximately in the 1960-70s. The pipe didn’t require too much efforts, it was rather a light cleanup than a restoration. Sincerely recommended for admirers of capacious chambers and American smoking tradition!
