Barling EXEL 5635 1/2 Bent Sandblast Billiard Estate Pipe

Barling made some excellent pipes. And while the most coveted are from the pre-transition era, there was a short period of time when post-transition and pre-transition pipes were almost indistinguishable. This is clearly a post-transition piece, but if it wasn't for the nomenclature, it would be very hard to tell. Wonderfully shaped, the cross grained sandblast is crisp and accentuates the classic design. There is some wear and darkening on the rim, but this estate pipe is otherwise in great condition.
