Rattail on bowl back, shaded block mono R over T * M on reverse; 7-3/8" long. Condition is quite good -- a touch of tipwear and a slight dent at the tip of the dognose, but all else is fine. Russell moved to Newport sometime after serving his apprenticeship with John Dixwell in Boston (see Kane for a discussion of Russell's life).
