Just got this little bastard. What do you guys think?

It's a lovely pipe. Do you know how old it is? What model is it? The sleeve and box are in great condition.

Nice Pipe! Now just get yourself one of those wigs and smoke this in it!!

I discovered a senior's pipe standard about three years in that held that only tapered stems, never saddles, deserved the highest aesthetic accolades; in this lovats with their long shanks and short stems were disallowed.

So although this pipe is beautiful, and I would like it, the conditioning above prevails.

Of course, you have a beautiful pipe, and although I would wish to admire it outright, my previous experience intrudes.

I wonder if Barling ever made pipes for Orlik. Did Orlik manufacture their own during this period?

I love that pipe! I recently got a small Orlik DeLuxe billiard, and it's a sweet smoking pipe.

Old Bond Street was their very top of the line pipe, nice grab!

it feels a little judgy like it's sitting up there on it's bench thinking it's better then us just because it's never almost killed someone over a parking space. No that is a nice looking pipe. I like it.

It's kind of a squat Canadian shape, pretty unique and handsome. Nice find indeed. Plenty of chamber there.

Ok, ok ,ok...it is pretty but how does it smoke?

 

[ChuckMijo]

Great pick up. I’ll bet that will be a fantastic smoker.

don't mind me asking -how much? - pricerange is sufficient

 

[scloyd]

Nice! I love that it's complete with box, sock and card.

 

[sallow]

Wonderful pipe!

If you decide you don't want that box, or the bag, just let me know??

Well just as a comparison, in my country it was the same price as a new Peterson or some savinelli’s and of course a lot higher than what you would pay for those in the States.
It was around 200 dollars.

Pipes are not quite cheap here. But considering it’s a very old pipe, unsmoked and in perfect condition with its box and all, for me it ended up being much more valuable than a Peterson or savi that costs the same over here. And I already have some savis purchased in Italy so...

As far as I know they were independent at that time. But others could correct me if I’m wrong.
