JOHN REDMAN Brixton 910

May 4, 2019November 17, 2019

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 some interim form between a classic shape and a freehand! A very special creature!

The pipe markings (quite worn) are “BRIXTON \ LONDON MADE”, “John Redman”, “910”. The length is 14.6 cm (5.75″), bowl’s height is 5.3 cm (2.09″). External diameter of the bowl is 4.4 cm (1.73″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weights 64 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The bowl had a few chips and factory fills which were carefully and reliably patched during the restoration.

England A reliable, practical and affordable pipe made at John Redman factory in London approximately in 1950-60s. The name of a series comes from a name of the founder of the company most likely. Why to be over-modest? 🙂 A comfortable classical lightweight English billiard, nice grain, good smoker!

England “Specially selected fully garanteed first quality Briars…”. The Special Best Briar series was one of the highest grades; only Redman’s Royal pipes were more valuable. But this high-grade pipe from the London John Redman factory, made in the mid-20th century, is truly unique in its own way: along with the surprising “chubby” billiard shape,…
