JOHN REDMAN Canberra 25

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.

The pipe markings are “CANBERRA \ LONDON MADE”, “MADE IN ENGLAND”, “25”. The length is 15.9 cm (6.26″), bowl’s height is 4.6 cm (1.81″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.5 cm (1.38″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.7 cm (1.46″) and this pipe weights 35 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

England A bright and stylish example of the middle segment pipes produced by John Redman factory, London . A very unusual combination of rusticated and smooth finishes, very remarkable and typical for this manufacturer. This is the really uncommon billiard with the large chamber and a light hint on a freehand 🙂

England There’s a long-desired addition to our private collection: John Redman Special Best Briar 509 (the laddle shape, our favourite one!). A really great work of Redman’s carvers: perfect briar, amazing distinct grain, ideal shaping and drilling. The series was one of the top grades, only Redman’s Royal pipes are more valuable!

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 An unique pipe from the John Redman pipe factory in London. The finish is well know today for incredibly beautyful Ian Walker’s “Northern Briars Oriental” pipes. But as we can see the idea is much elder and it was implemented at least a few decades before.
