England

A wonderful impressive and really laaaarge classical bent pipe of the one of the highest grades produced by John Redman factory in the second half of the XX century. The “Aristocrat” series was destined for export and the company introduced such a enlarged version of this grade to satisfy more USA customers which respected large size pipes.

The pipe markings are “ARISTOCRAT \ LONDON MADE”, “SUPERMAN”. The length is 14.9 cm (5.87″), and the bowl’s height is 5.4 cm (2.12″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.0 cm (1.57″), internal diameter is 2.2 cm (0.87″). The depth is 4.6 cm (1.81″) and this pipe weighs 58 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. In the course of the restoration we patched carefully a few small dents on the stummel and on the stem. The pipe was very accurately smoked and very well preserved.

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…
