Old Master De Luxe

JOHN REDMAN Old Master De Luxe unsmoked

England

The pipe is interesting not only as a great example of English craftsmanship from the middle of the 20th century but also as one of the rare series equipped with the “twin bore” stem – very popular at the time and much more reliable than today’s mouthpieces with traditional “slot” buttons. And another thing: the pipe is still unsmoked. Lucky find!
