BARLING Londoner 494

December 26, 2015January 21, 2019

England, 1960-70s

The Londoner pipes were made in 1960-70s both in England and in Danmark (including Erik Nordning pipe factory). There’s no COM stamping on the pipe therefore we can’t say more definitely. But it’s really a great and amazing example of Barling production from that time! The section of the bowl is not an ideal square, but it could be done for more comfortable sitting in a hand.

The pipe markings are “LONDONER”, “494”. The length is 14.0 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.2 cm. External and internal dimesions of the bowl are 3.0 cm and 1.9 cm. The depth is 3.5 cm and this pipe weights 37 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break in coat.

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. The mouthpiece may already be bitten, the markings worn off, and the top of the bowl nicked from being knocked against a heel (a habit, unfortunately, common…

England, 1960s This large sandblasted apple is already a corporate era Barling pipe, the most experienced experts assign the King series with such nomenclature to 1962-1970. Although these “corporate” Barlings don’t cost hundreds of dollars the pipes were carved very skillfully and with all possible respects to 150-year Barling family pipe making tradition.

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, 1930s The pipe comes to us with the 1930s collection, so it’s probably one of the early Marxmans – the company has been founded in 1934 by Robert (Bob) L. Marx, former William Demuth Company employee and merged with Mastercraft in 1953. Allthough the company didn’t use very expensive briar, very fast Marxman pipes…

Italy, 1980-90s One of the early Ser Jacopo pipes (from 1983 to 1997) from Giancarlo Guidi, Pesaro, Italy. The stem is inlaid with a red dot and there are no typical letter and number codes yet stamped. Therefore we would claim the pipe is rather from the 1980s.

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…
