JOHN REDMAN Old Master De Luxe

JOHN REDMAN Old Master De Luxe

England

It’s ‘s a very nice and remarkable example of the John Redman production in the second half of the XX century. The pipe is remarkable at least due to two reasons: it’s still unsmoked and it’s completed with the twin bore stem – much more reliable than traditional “slot button” stems. Actually it seems all “Old Master” series pipes had such twin bore stems. Great finding!

The pipe markings are “Old Master \ DE LUXE \ LONDON MADE”, “MADE IN ENGLAND”. The length is 13.9 cm (5.47″), bowl’s height is 5.0 cm (1.97″). External diameter of the bowl is 3.5 cm (1.38″), internal diameter is 1.8 cm (0.71″). The depth is 4.0 cm (1.57″) and this pipe weights 39 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, aluminium air cooler.
