The dream has come true! For quite a long time we have been seeking for a meerschaum pipe made by our favorite John Redman factory in London in the middle of the XX century. It was perhaps the last substantial gap in our collection. Finally it’s here! A full bent moderately and very accurately smoked meerschaum in a really good condition! Now it’s time to dream of something new! 🙂

The pipe markings are “JR”. The length is 10.6 cm (4.17″), bowl’s height is 5.9 cm (1.32″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.6 cm (1.42″), internal diameter is 2.0 cm (0.79″). The depth is 5.2 cm (2.05″) and this pipe weights 62 gr.
