JOHN REDMAN Aristocrat Superman bent

May 24, 2016December 19, 2021

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 The highest grade pipe made in the second half of the XX century at the John Redman LTD & British Empire Pipe Co factory. Unlike many other large and quite “freehandish” designed “Royals” this pipe is made rather according to the classical British tradition – a capacious (but not chubby) English horn pipe (some…

England Whilst John Redman’s higher-end models, such as the Royal, Special, or Aristocrat, were often characterised by unconventional shapes and very striking dimensions, clearly reflecting changing consumer tastes in the second half of the 20th century, the pipes from the Redonian series fundamentally continued to adhere to a traditional understanding of classic shapes and sizes,…

England A very pleasant Redman’s bulldog pipe, most likely of 1970-80s years of birth. In any case the series isn’t registered neither in earlier catalogues available to us, nor in other sources. Very probably, it was ordered by one of contractors; therefore it bears quite an unusual for John Redman model and the shape number….

England, 1960-70s Both the stamping “Made by hand” and the heavy bowled shape were absolutely typical for the Charatan’s second Lane era (1965 – middle of 1970s) pipes. This sample was perhaps predetermined to become at least an upper middle grade pipe, but a couple of scratches and chips changed its destiny quite dramatically and…
