BARLING’S Make Ye Olde Wood bulldog

March 16, 2018December 21, 2018

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 pristine condition for its age!

The pipe markings are “BARLING’S \ MAKE \ YE OLDE WOOD”. The length is 13.4 cm (5.28″), bowl’s height is 4.5 cm (1.77″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.0 cm (1.57″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.7 cm (1.46″) and this pipe weights 37 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has a few not critical scratches made by a cleanig tool, but looks very moderately and accurately smoked. The “Barling” cross logo on the stem is a bit buffed out, but still visible under a good light.

England, 1960-70s The Londoner pipes were made in 1960-70s both in England and in Danmark (including Erik Nordning pipe factory).

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…

Therefore, our pipe is quite rare because it has been made still in…
