right, on first blush, it doesn't seem to pay Ebay to maintain this practice. I assume the shipping rates for items that do successfully ship, have such a high profit margin, they are covering what appears to be a loss here.

THIS has GOT to set some sort of a record for this line of Barling pipes:
There's a clear duel going on between two determined collectors over a pipe that is a quite stunning example of a Barling Guinea Grain. Looking at their bid history makes it clear that both are actual bidders and not game players.
BARLING RARE 1950's GUINEA-GRAIN HIGH GRADE EXEXEL STRAIGHT APPLE ESTATE PIPE | eBay
If you're a lover of old English pipes, especially Barling's, this pipe should tickle your fancy! I can count on one hand the Barling Guinea Grains I've had over the years, they seem to be scarce and were simply not made in huge numbers and when you find one like this straight Apple in an EXEXEL...

Yeah, two guys want something and this happens. Thursday I was bidding in an online Australia auction for meerschaum pipes, and a carving that normally goes for $300 or less on ebay, went for over $2,000. Neither bidder was willing to 'lose'. But the winner definitely lost.THIS has GOT to set some sort of a record for this line of Barling pipes:

Could it be a replacement stem?
My interest is mainly to see if I could get a similar one for my Canadian Barling.

It looks like a factory Barling stem. Probably is original. George can certainly make you an absolutely correct Barling stem.
Jesus Christ and General Jackson! At that price I’d cheerfully cough up a couple of Guinea Grains and throw in one of my kidneys to boot.
Incidentally, little known fact: Barling actually trademarked Guinea Grain in 1922, but if one has survived that predates the model’s relaunch ~1953 I’ve never seen it.

Sort of like with the Fossil trademark, 1928, IIRC.
Wasn't sure what to make of this auction - I thought the MM might be a Comoy's, but unsure. It has 'Made' over 'England' with 'In' in the middle, football shape, gold band, raised blue bar. All pipes are tiny - MM is 4 5/8". LHS Educator also has a gold band. GBD New Era also seems very old. No date hallmarks.

Millville Blasted full bent
Camelia GBD 9242
I got a Millville full bent and a Camelia which is probably French made but looks like the GBD 9242 shape.

MM Importing is tricky. Some claim Sasieni was their supplier but the one’s I’ve felt sure about were always Comoy.
"Who Made that Pipe" says lists three "Camelia" one made by Oppenheimer the other two Marchel Ruchon, so I think you could be on the mark. Good Ebay Eye!
I picked this up. I can’t remember if saseini made the briar cut pipes for bewlay, or if they stamped their ones with a V. Even if not, I’m not too worried

Heckuva deal. I have Bewlay pipes made by Comoy's and by Barling. Another strange one I had, really looked like a Kaywoodie but there is no documented history of Kaywoodie making pipes for them.I picked this up.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I just received an ebay score in the mail today. A Golden Parker, Charatans Make Special and a Comoy's Grand Slam. Now to clean them up and see how they smoke.
It’s wild that this pipe went for $403.
