Pictures aren't great, but returns accepted. Did anyone grab this group? Too steep for me.
Winning a Barling S-M in good shape is always thrilling.
BARLING 1940's YE OLDE WOOD SHAPE 92 CLASSIC CANTED BILLIARD "S-M" ESTATE PIPE | eBay
Not sure how this one escaped the Birdseye grade, my only guess is that it was made prior to the grade existing as it is spectacular! Clean throughout, this one promises a very fine smoking experience indeed.

This library 1887 cased BBB pipe went for a very good price. As an interesting side note, the sterling was made by Barling, who did BBB's silver work in the 1880's before BBB set up its own smithy. Condition is exceptional.
Absolutely stunning pipe whose new owner paid through the nose for it.
Yes…yes, they did. Came in at about the top of the range I’d predicted.Absolutely stunning pipe whose new owner paid through the nose for it.
Condition, looks, and age make this a very rare piece.
It just called to me. I am putting myself out there. I think I paid ok/fair money given the market. Thoughts?

I don’t know enough at answer your question, but I do know that is some very nice grain.
Totally agree. I have seen unique's go for this amount, but none of them looked as good as this pipe. I have seen many pipes for more $ that were less. lol
I missed that one completely. Wow, what a pipe. Sometimes those Uniques are too over the top, yours looks perfect. I don't recall seeing any GBD with an 18k gold band nor any other Millennium stamped pipes. That is top dollar for a GBD, but I doubt you'll ever find another one.
I believe those were just stamped 'Hand Made'. There has always been confusion because Peterson has a 'Hand Made' line of pipes that are almost certainly NOT hand made. But it could be that those are also stamped 'Special'.
There is another line of Petersons stamped 'Special' in cursive/italic that were a short-lived line of pipes.
This is really weird - the last two pipes I bought on ebay were these two. Both are London Hallmark 1950 211's. I think the odds of that are pretty slim....but I'm not complaining.
The bottom one has an incorrect stem, but I have an old Peterson amber saddle stem that has almost the exact same measurements as #1.

Yeah, my house pipe is stamped hand-made but recall a Mark Irwin post talking about how house pipes are stamped with that when they're not actually hand-made with no idea why they do that.
You may call me a philistine, but I prefer the look of Pipe #2 with its incorrect tapered stem sans P-lip
