NOS Yello-Bole Imperial Rusticated Pipe

This Yello-Bole Imperial is an absolute standout piece of vintage Americana, presenting a rare look into mid-century mass-market production. Finding a New Old Stock (NOS) piece in this pristine, unsmoked state is an exceptional opportunity for collectors of vintage drugstore pipes.

This pipe features a unique, highly distinctive finish. The stummel is dressed in a two-tone crinkle rustication, where a vibrant, mustard-yellow or tan base layer contrasts beautifully against deeply recessed black or dark brown texturing. This heavily textured finish covers the entirety of the tall, slightly forward-leaning Dublin bowl and the oval-shaped shank, offering an excellent tactile sensation in the hand. The top of the rim shares this exact textured treatment, framing the chamber beautifully.

Because this is a pristine NOS example, the chamber remains immaculate and vividly showcases the bright yellow honey-brooks lining that made Yello-Bole famous. This real honey pre-carb treatment guaranteed a sweet, break-in-free smoking experience from the very first light. The pipe comes fitted with its original jet-black push stem, complete with the iconic yellow circle-and-bar logo inlay. The vulcanite stem is flawless, with no oxidation or storage wear.
