JOHN REDMAN Golden Square

England

The pipe named after a very nice London place – the Golden Square located between the Upper John and Lower John streets in the city center. The most of the Redman pipes bear such topological signs and of course the popular middle range series was highly appreciated by consumers both due to smoking qualities and due to English people’s unsurpassed patriotism and pride in their homeland.

Another interesting detail. This is already not the first Redman’s pipe marked “expressly for Pogues” which arrived to us from USA. It seems a batch of pipes was produced especially for an American tobacconist and of course they were specially stamped for the reseller. What a nice example of the international cooperation!

The pipe markings are “GOLDEN SQUARE \ LONDON MADE”, “MADE IN ENGLAND \ EXPRESSLY FOR POGUES”. The length is 15.5 cm (6.1″), bowl’s height is 4.7 cm (1.85″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.7 cm (1.46″), internal diameter is 1.9 cm (0.75″). The depth is 3.9 cm (1.54″) and this pipe weights 34 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter.

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!

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 A very pleasant Redman’s bulldog pipe, most likely of 1970-80s years of birth. In any case the series isn’t registered neither in earlier catalogues available to us, nor in other sources. Very probably, it was ordered by one of contractors; therefore it bears quite an unusual for John Redman model and the shape number….
