Thanks, Pete. I'm kind of surprised I won it. I low balled it and I fully expected to be out bid.

Crap! The mailman just showed up with two tins of SPC Mississippi River when I have so many open tins of tobacco I need to finish before I can pop another. I can feel my resolve weakening.

Sadly, PAD struck again this afternoon. In lieu of flowers, please smoke a bowl and hope that your PAD inoculation holds. This could have been you.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Barling-Pot-...p2047675.l2557
Title of the item was: Barling Pot
The title could have been: Barling Quaint, Pre-Transition, Regd on Stem (1936-1949)
Quaints are rare and highly collectible and more rare with the Reg number on the stem (earlier). Not a lot of solid history on Quaints (the name isn't from Barling, it evolved) but pipes with this type of carving first appeared in the war years. The probable story is that during the lean war years, Barling carved existing bowls that had some flaws. Given the reg no and the less elaborate carving I'd solidly date this pipe in the war years between 1941-1945 and that makes it rarer still.
I had no expectation of getting this pipe and as with all eBay purchases you need to hold off judgement until you see it but at the least, it's a pre-trans Barling smoker with the original handmade stem (in weak condition) for $67 and as long as my finances held, I'd buy it all day and night.
Yes, I know that I'm qualifying my PAD. I'll post further once the pipe is in hand (with porn). Have to get back to eBay, PAD is stoked!
