Barling’s Make Family Era YOW 409 EXEL Smooth Pot Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Barling and Sons was originally founded in 1812 by Benjamin Barling and began as a family business making silver-adorned meerschaum pipes. In the early 20th century, however, the Barling family began to produce what the brand is today most famous for – expertly made briar pipes.

In the pantheon of British pipes, there are few that are as renowned and as coveted by collectors as Family era Barling pipes. This one is a particularly beautiful, pre-transition specimen: a slender, eminently lightweight pot, with a wide chamber well suited for English mixtures (along with other ribbon and mixture cuts).

The condition is very good. Some inner rim darkening and a small tooth indent on the end of the button, but nothing major.
