Highly collectible vintage Yello-Bole "Bamboo" estate tobacco pipe, dating exactly between 1956 and 1965. This is a highly desirable mid-century model featuring a genuine briar wood bowl mated to a beautiful, natural jointed-bamboo shank.


Unlike later 1960s versions made of synthetic Brylon plastic, this prized earlier model is crafted from real briar wood. It features the original built-in metal moisture stinger inside the stem.


Markings & Authenticity:


Stummel Stamp: Clearly stamped YELLO-BOLE "Bamboo" on the bottom of the briar bowl.


Stem Logo: Features the classic recessed circle logo on the mouthpiece (the original yellow paint insert has faded away naturally over time, common for this era).


Dating Note: The absence of the KBB cloverleaf stamp combined with the genuine briar bowl securely places this pipe in the golden post-KBB era (1956–1965).


Condition Report:Bowl/Stummel: Genuine briar with great grain. No cracks or deep burnouts.


Bamboo Shank: Natural bamboo stalk is intact with no splits or cracks. Good tight fit at the junctions.


Stem/Mouthpiece: Original black vulcanite stem.


Stinger: Original metal condenser stinger is intact.
