Barling Ye Olde Wood 5109 T.V.F. Smooth Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, English Estates

Description

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.

This particular Barling, from the make’s post-transition era, is a classic saddle billiard. It wears a light brown stain that shows off quite a bit of very nice bird’s-eye grain, and is lightweight enough that seasoned smokers may find it clenches well enough.

The condition is good. Some inner rim darkening and finish fading with somewhat faint nomenclature.
