Few if any Barling pipes were made during the war. From 1946 to 1962 Barlings will most often have the three digit shape numbers, and sizes as indicated above, although some did not have shape numbers. In particular, the Quaints and straight grains. This is the period Barling started exporting to the US. | Few if any Barling pipes were made during the war.

'''Note:''' ''Much of the information that appears here is anecdotal, however a catalog from 1962 has surfaced, which sheds some light on the transition period. We hope to rewrite the article to reflect the new information. Meanwhile the catalog can be viewed at: http://pipepages.com/62bar1.htm'' | |||
The early transitional Phase is considered to be 1962-1964, the first two years after the Barling family sold the company (Hacker indicates the transition started in 1960). Some indicate a "lessoning" of the standards that pre-dates the actual change of ownership. The changes in nomenclature are difficult to follow, however, and regardless, while perhaps excellent smokers, early transition pipes are far less valuable to collectors than pre-transition. | The early transitional Phase is considered to be 1962-1964, the first two years after the Barling family sold the company (Hacker indicates the transition started in 1960).
