Recently got an estate lot and in it was a Barling Fossil (I think). Wondering if any of the historians on this site can help me with it. Is there a way to date this pipe. I am thinking the silver band might have been added later as it seems to cover some of the nomenclature. I can read Barling 5731 and what I think is Fossil.
Any info would be welcomed.
