I managed to find this on a stoop sale yesterday for $20. All the Bjarne pipes I see available online seem a bit more mass produced looking. Does anyone know if this has some age to it?

I have one Bjarne, and it's a GREAT smoker. Nice and open, beautiful to look at. Enjoy.
Fine Danish pipes. While you are looking, also shop Johs pipes. Mogen Johansen who makes Johs pipes was head carver at Bjarne before he went into business as a solo, one man band carver who churns them out. I am a fan of Johs.
Bjarnes like that on ebay are listed at over $100 cad
I am no expert but it is similar to other Bjarnes I bought in the 1980s. All smoke very well.
Yes, probably from the '80s. I've always thought Bjarne punched well above his weight and that his work is under-appreciated in present times.
the ones with vulcanite stems will turn green if you even think about looking at them.
also a lot of the later ones are 9mm filtered..
Thank you kindly for the replies and information. Im actually going to put it in the other sub-forum for trade. It’s the sort of pipe I appreciate looking for but not exactly “my style”.
Yes, I believe so. Personally, I don’t like like such ornate stems.
I have a similar one myself. That's their freehand style, which were more popular back in the day. Not sure what time period. Looks in good shape. Mine has a vulcanite stem that needed a good refurbish. They smoke excellent, although I prefer lighter smaller pipes usually.
I also got mine for less than 20$, but mine has a crack in it that doesn't affect smoking. Was definitely a well loved pipe. Mostly an art piece now, but I've had many a good smoke from it.

I haven't seen a Bjarn for 20 years, but the brick and mortar tobacconist I started my pipe smoking at had a number and they were popular. They were all unique looking, (un)like yours.
Well, I took it for a test drive last night and it smoked far better than anything else I’ve purchased up to this point. May have to keep it now.
Often that’s the case with women hopefully this doesn’t end in tears...
