(JOHN REDMAN) British Knight dublin

June 21, 2018December 18, 2018

England, unsmoked

We can pretty sure claim the pipe as an unknown before and not registered in catalogues John Redman factory product. Audacious combination of the classical stummel and fancy stem, specific stamping (LONDON MADE under a brand name and MADE IN ENGLAND on the opposite side of the shank) plus the specific model of the metallic air cooler – everything that is very and very typical for the John Redman LTD & British Empire Pipe Co products.

The pipe markings are “BRITISH KNIGHT \ LONDON MADE”, “MADE IN ENGLAND”. The length is 16.0 cm (6.3″), bowl’s height is 4.7 cm (1.85″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.3 cm (1.3″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.7 cm (1.46″) and this pipe weights 33 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, aluminium air coller.

England According to many respectable sources such as pipephil and pipedia Conway pipes were made “most probably” by Singleton & Cole. But we may suppose the company had also close relationships with John Redman factory and even identical series: you have seen probably Conway’s Aristocrat pipes which are very and very similar to John Redman’s…

USA, unsmoked The origin of this pipe isn’t very much clear. Some experts mention Excelsior pipes made in USA and England, but it look rather like an Italian (or Italian American) – nice briar, rich rustication, tasty combination of the “raw” unstained finish (a little bit polished) and bright acrylic shank extension plus stem. Exactly…

England, 1954 A very unusual unsmoked Hardcastle’s pipe from the period between 1946 and 1967.

HARDCASTLE
HARDCASTLE’S London Made
September 27, 2018December 13, 2018
England, 1950-60s, unsmoked An unsmoked example of the Hardcastle’s craftsmanship from the 1946-1967 period. The company was already adopted under the Dunhill umbrella, but family management of the company retained a certain independence in production and marketing. Therefore the pipe is interesting both as a creature of the legendary old, good and famous English manufactory…

England, 1930-60s This is the oldest Ben Wade pipe we ever offered. It was made at the family Ben Wade production facilities in Leeds before 1965, when Herman G. Lane bought Ben Wade and Charatan’s businesses and moved production to London. However it could be very probably a pre WWII product: experts claim the model…
