Aristocrat 2

Aristocrat 2

England

Among other normal human wishes (such as piece in the World, a new house with four smoking rooms and a weekend trip to Kilimajaro) we had a wish to have a Redman’s poker pipe. And finally one wish from this list came true!

So, here it is. Redman’s “Aristocrat”, not a cheap export trademark. The bowl is smoth plus rusted what is specific for many J. Redman pipes. It looks attractive but it’s complicated for restoration. With regards to the smoking qualities – we will investigate that just now.

The pipe markings are “Aristocrat \ LONDON MADE \ MADE IN ENGLAND \ 2”. The length is 13.7 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.1 cm. External and internal diameters of the bowl are 3.3 cm and 1.9 cm. The depth is 3.1 cm and this pipe weights 33gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, air cooler.

  • JOHN REDMAN Brixton 910

    England A very interesting finding: the Brixton series is not represented in available Redman’s catalogues. The pipe was made in the 1960-70s the most probably: the stamping “John Redman” (in script) is not typical for early Redman products. Also we’d like to draw your attention to the shape: it’s not a simple bent pipe, but…

  • GBD Collector Prehistoric 9557

    England, 1950-70s A “special edition” of one of the most successful GBD Prehistoric series. The designation “Collector” (along with “Conquest” and “Colossus”) served for marking of especially large pipes.
