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 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 pretty nice, moderately smoked and unusually balanced Redman’s middle size and middle grade billiard approximately from 1960-70’s. The shape with such a proportion of the stummel and the stem looks a bit provocative, but in fact many Redman pipes were made in very provocative shapes and finishes at that time.

England Every respected pipe manufacturer tried to expand the range and to attract buyers not only with a variety of models, shapes and finishes, but also with numerous “delicacies”: accessories, pipes sets – for 7 days, for 5 days, “evening – morning”, and so on and so forth. Naturally, the value of such set is…

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 We have a suspicion that the pipe was born in 1979 when a carver saw the “Alien” movie for the first time. Of course, it’s a joke, but the pipe’s shape is extraterrestrial indeed. By the way, we have met a Sasieni one of the same shape recently.
