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!

The pipe markings are “CAPTAIN FORTUNE \ LONDON MADE”. The length is 14.5 cm (5.71″), bowl’s height is 4.4 cm (1.73″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.9 cm (1.53″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 3.3 cm (136″) and this pipe weights 33 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

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, 1950-70s A very well-designed and well-balanced piece crafted by the artisans at John Redman’s London factory in the latter half of the 20th century. Everything looks appropriate and natural—the shape, a beautiful classic English slightly bent bulldog; the size—not small, but not too bulky to cause discomfort; carefully selected briar with a very pleasant…

England The highest grade pipe made in the second half of the XX century at the John Redman LTD & British Empire Pipe Co factory. Unlike many other large and quite “freehandish” designed “Royals” this pipe is made rather according to the classical British tradition – a capacious (but not chubby) English horn pipe (some…

England Judging by its design features, this pipe, manufactured by the London-based John Redman company, reflects trends in the pipe-making world of the second half of the 20th century; we would date it to the 1960s or 1970s. Just as Charatan’s “Make Selected” is the second-highest grade after “Supreme”, Aristocrat pipes are positioned in the…

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.

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!
