England

As simple as beautyful! A very unusual and we can say unique pipe made in the middle of the XX century on the John Redman pipe factory. The idea is simple and elegant: the lightweigt square poker pipe! A real eye-catcher!

The pipe markings are “Buckingham \ London Made”. The length is 13.6 cm (5.35″), bowl’s height is 3.9 cm (1.54″). External dimensions of the bowl are 3.0 x 3.1 cm (1.18 x 1.22″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 2.9 cm (1.14″) and this pipe weights 32 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. A couple of factiry fills and chips were carefully and reliably repatched during the restoration according to our own technology.

England, 1960s A great example of the Charatan’s production in 1970-s at Prescott Str. factory! The pipe looks really like a work of art: slightly asymmetric panelled bowl is skilfully combined with an almost the stright grain of briar. It sits in hand very warmly, reliably and trustfully indeed like many free hands can’t sit. Thus no need…

However, if you look at the stampings, there is no doubt: this Serif font on Comoy pipes cannot be confused with any other. The pipe looks like Comoy’s answer to some of the innovative American and English brands…

England One of the popular, unambitious and affordable pipes made on the John Redman factory in London in 1950-60’s. Draw attention to the large and convincing metallic air cooler of a spoon shape – it’s very typical for many Redman’s products from that time.
