England

An upper middle grade pipe from the John Redman LTD & British Empire Pipe Co. factory in London in the middle of the XX century. Flawless briar with nice hairline grain, absolutely traditional English billiard shape, capacious chamber – it’s definitely worth your attention!

The pipe marking is “CANBERRA \ LONDON MADE”, “MADE IN ENGLAND”, “73”. The length is 15.5 cm (6.1″), bowl’s height is 4.9 cm (1.93″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.54″), internal diameter is 2.1 cm (0.83″). The depth is 4.0 cm (1.57″) and this pipe weights 48 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber is looks a bit out of center. The tennon seems to be inaccurately filed off by the previous owner, but sits reliably.

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 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…

England Apparently, in this way the craftsman from John Redman’s pipe factory in London is hinting that he has long wanted to go on holiday, preferably somewhere exotic. Jokes aside, the Canberra series was unique in its own way, capable of encompassing both restrained, classic pieces and rather free-spirited creations – from unexpected freehand designs,…

England A wonderful sound classical English bulldog from the London John Redman factory. The pipe was made approximately in 1960’s and it was moderately and very accurately smoked. A great examle of a traditional English pipe from the middle of the last century!

England A unique upper-grade pipe from the John Redman pipe factory in London. The finish is well-known today for Ian Walker’s incredibly beautiful “Northern Briars Oriental” pipes. However, as we can see, the idea is much older, and it was implemented at least a few decades before. Pipe markings “REDONIAN \ DE-LUXE \ LONDON MADE”Length…

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!
