Congrats, man!Starting the morning with Prince Albert USA made (with coffee of course) in a newly acquired Yello-Bole author shape number 2213B marked KBB in a cloverleaf YELLO-BOLE HONEY CURED BRIAR. This pipe is amazingly light (an indication of briar and pipe making quality?), is in good condition, has a really pretty original stain. It has the original yellow bowl coating and the stinger is intact. It smokes great and stays cool. I compared this to my Kaywoodie 13B, and the shape is similar, but the shank on the 2213B is wider and more substantial, so I like it better. I'm really beginning to love these old USA made pipes, and appreciate BoB's giving input on the posts in other parts of the forum.Here's on the date range from Pipedia:
