I actually found this image as a vintage add for sale on eBay. I just found many more they have for sale.
I do not know this seller nor am I associated with them in any way. Just thought you guys would like to see them.

After Petersons, Savenellis, Johs, and a Bari, I finally decided to add some U.S. machine made

pipes. I nearly bought a Yellow Bole, but decided (after an intense investigation!) on a Dr.

Grabow and a Kaywoodie. I think the current Yellow Boles with briar bowls are likely good

pipes, at a third the price of what they would cost if made in Denmark. Are they as good?

I think they're pretty good -- the ones I have smoked, anyway. You can find lemons in any

line of pipes, but a small percent. I think the folks in Sparta, N.C. (Grabow plant) do some

elegant work. It may be an assembly line, but a lot of craftsmanship goes into it.

My 1930's KB&B Yellobole Premier:



And my 1970's Yellobole:



They are very, very close in size and shape, and smoke equally well. The Premier has a thicker bit, and I do not like it as much.
