Wondered if you happened to have seen this EBay listing:

Pipe 1887 Barling Case Set. | eBay - https://www.ebay.com/itm/276556208152?_skw=comoy+pipe&itmmeta=01J953ZPWMQYQ511YH3PG0ZPR4&hash=item406408d818:g:CC8AAOSwxDdmmC5D&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnY9UaBvMp4mcFtub4%2FuOCreThM6UONF1ACdEWeHqi0KfHOoZd5oSx%2FuCbnHXUqHJXPUG%2BvaLULjbak7Anv5FvVb5kzA9FfHdw2sZXHMP%2FaFi%2BNZKCMEE1dlOg2oIO%2F3YbI1ARUrqZoHoOUBhuQUC0nnlAHV6Hf3L2oN7UUJBjV3hGQ0EhPvrLDiAQQYejrwpc%2BECkVR30fi7xAlRy0ApaqFNAS8LQ%2Brq%2FNz132ZJ21eGrbbpIBwmzHgwqfBUAUzWjj%2BX1VHnIkVs96QVSVrEd7%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7Tu_qPJZA

Interesting set.

It is an interesting set, but way too high priced to peak my interest, especially given the condition of the albatross wing bone extension. I check out, and follow, the eBay listings but rarely feel the urge to place a bid.

In regards to the condition of the bone extension, at least one albatross species is not endangered ("least concern"). Black-browed albatross - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-browed_albatross. I assume this means the extension can be repaired. Ahem.

Many years ago I looked into replacing the albatross bone extension on a Bewlay library pipe that I bought. Ten years ago the price per inch was $150. Ahem back.

Bought this Barling yesterday. Seller suggested it was a 1964 or 65. I can’t find anything online that looks like this or has the 914 designation. Anyone recognize this pipe?

Great looking pipe. I can't nail it down, but I'm betting Sable can.

This pipe was made in the mid to late seventies by Eric Nording for Imperial Tobacco, which owned the Barling IP. The pipes were made in Denmark.
While not collectible, the pipes are good smokers.

I knew you would be able to fill in the blanks on this.
I also learned something I didn't know and that is that Erik Nordiing made pipes that bore the Barling name.

I rushed to grab this on auction. It was about 100$. I really couldn’t tell exactly what I was getting. Family era?

You got a good deal! The block BARLING'S MAKE logo makes it a family era pipe and that particular REGd number tells me that it's probably from the 1930's to mid '40's, since that number expired in 1944.

Excellent. Thanks so much. Obviously there’s one person here who would make a fella think his small collection of English pipes wasn’t complete without a Barling’s. I’ve got a nice Comoy’s, Charatan, Sasieni, and some Dunhills. I thought I just wouldn’t have the money to spend on a Family Barling’s Make. People were really sleeping on this one and I got lucky. I’m thrilled. As soon as I get over this cold I will light her up.

Great score !

Now to find that BBB, GBD, Loewe, Orlik, Ben Wade, Bewlay, Simon&Gluckstein, etc etc
It’s a rabbit hole

I do have a nice 1903 Bewlay. But I think I give up at this point. Well, that’s what I’m telling myself until one of those comes along.

Current Batlings aren't what it used to be. And all the lovely ones are in some private collections. I'll stick with Peterson.

It can be ENDLESS!

That Bewlay may be a Barling in disguise. Post a picture. If it has a sterling band, tell us the maker’s mark on the sterling.

Yes, tell me about it
When I set out to collect Britwoods, I naively thought there would be a dozen or so brands.
Little did I know

Here’s my tiny Bewlay.

Nope. It was made by one of their suppliers and mounted by Bewlay. That's their maker's mark. Nice looking pipe!

Thanks! This was another bargain. It’s so tiny!

 

[Speak Easy]

I’ve got two Barling made Bewlay Emerald’s. Only have pics of one on my phone though. The other I’m still cleaning up. I’ll try and get a pic of it this evening.
