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!

The pipe markings are “DR JOHN \ LONDON MADE”, “34”. The length is 13.5 cm (5.31″), bowl’s height is 4.3 cm (1.69″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.4 cm (1.34″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.6 cm (1.42″) and this pipe weights 30 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with a break-in coat. The tennon looks a bit turned aside but the stem sits reliable and the air passage is visible and accessible by a pipe cleaner without any substantial complications.

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 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,…

We’ve mentioned recently the issues with the briar supply which were experienced by English pipe makers since the beginning of the 1960s.

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. But as we can see the idea is much older and it was implemented at least a few decades before.
