Barling: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Barling_pre_lovat.jpg|thumb|200px|Pre-trans Dublin, [http://smokershaven.com Smokershaven.com]]] Pre-transition nomenclature includes '''BARLINGS MAKE''' in block lettering, and three digit shape numbers, and sizes were noted with M, L, EL, EXEL, EXEXEL, and G. According to Tad Gage, the only four-digit number that denotes a Pre-Transition piece begins with "1," which was used for pipes sold in England. Any other four-digit Barling pipe is a transitional piece-- (Tad Gage in P & T magazine). Note: Pre-transition Guinea Grain pipes had ''BARLING'S MAKE'' in script, but experts indicate all other ''BARLING'S MAKE'' script pieces would be transition or post transition.
