Looks to be from the mid 70s to mid 80s. Total estimate, but it's definitely well past the family era of Barling.

Barling (singular) and that stem- post transition for sure,1970's onward. Does not look like current production.

My God! This article is a pile of inaccurate crap with a few correct facts in it. Barling-Nichols? Complete bullshit! And the rest of it…

The pipe is from the ‘70’s, after the factories were closed and production was outsourced.
