JOHN REDMAN Canterbury

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.

The pipe markings are “CANTERBURY \ LONDON MADE”, “MADE IN ENGLAND”. The length is 14.0 cm (5.51″), bowl’s height is 4.4 cm (1.73″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.2 cm (1.26″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.8 cm (1.5″) and this pipe weights 32 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat. The bowl had a few chips carefully patched during the restoration and almost invisible now.

England A very unusually designed bent pipe the most probably from John Redman factory in London. Combination of wire carving and smooth spots create a very tricky and remarkable “old stub effect”. A really rare unique sample!
