Did Barling ever do silverwork for other pipe companies? I have a pipe stamped only with the name of a tobacconist ("DURANDO LIVERPOOL") but with a silver band stamped: "E.B. W.B"
When I get that old I want to play too.FWIW, know that Saddlebrush and Mr. Jguss (the "J" is silent) both entertain themselves by completely making shit up stream-of consciousness style, and have an ongoing contest to see who can pack the most plausible-sounding silliness into a post in the least amount of time. (the metric is complicated, but basically works.)
Mr. Guss is presently in the lead. Meaning at the next quarterly checkpoint, Saddlebrush will owe him a bottle of good Scotch and a cutter top tin of Escudo. They get together semi-annually to consume the winnings and laugh their asses off by re-reading printouts of their comments.
