A couple of arrivals this week.
The first a 1919 Motor Dome (non-revolving)
I've listed after one of these after seeing Jesse's examples.
Geoff Watson (@osiris01) did a great job cleaning this one up.

I love the middle pipe.
The EXEXEL bowl contrasts so well with the slenderness of the oval shank and saddle stem (in profile).
Very nice.

Thanks. My wife found that pipe on the Goodwill Industries web site (a “Barling’s Make,” that I believe was carved during the transition period while the Barling family was still running the company after the sale to the new owners). It came with a pre-Lane Charatan Selected and a Charatan Perfection. When my wife asked me if she paid too much money for the pipes, I laughed and told her she would have easily paid double if she’d bought them on eBay.

So, how many more unsmoked Barlings do you have? BTW, the REG'd number era ended in early 1951.

My grandfather's solution was to get three more wives (concurrently)! However, Aussie authorities might frown on the practice. ?
