This Grp. 5 is in excellent condition, with good cross grain and Bird’s Eye, with that cross grain stretching the length of the shank, top and bottom. It is not of the old stripe and so the shape # is 5299. The all-important vulcanite stem is original, with the crossed “Barling” logo fully intact, but with the white buffed off. For a thorough and thoughtful commentary on the Barling pipe and the various phases it went through, look up the brand on Pipedia.
5.55” long, bowl 1.8” tall. Weight: 1 oz., 29 grams.
