I added two Barlings to the pile.
The first is a Corporate Era Barling bearing a stamp I'd not yet seen before, Duostem. Well, it's not exactly a dual stem pipe, it's a pipe with a briar shank extension (otherwise known as a spliced shank). It's in fairly minty condition, having barely been smoked. The cleaning is going well.

The next one was very interesting, a 1920's or earlier Barling Meerschaum with amber stem that looks pretty clean. I paid a little more than I thought ideal, but only by $15. As is typical, a sniper using a bot fired off a bunch of bids in the last few seconds but ran out of time. If you're reading this, I want you to know that you missed out by less than a dollar. Tough noogies!
MARKED: EBWB. 1 PIPE OR ENTIRE COLLECTIONS. LENGTH: 5". WEIGHT : 1.2 oz. MAKE SURE TO SUPER SIZE THE PHOTOS FOR A BETTER VIEW.

These days I'm not interested in mainstream Barlings, more in the odd and special.
