Beautiful grills. I hate to be a stickler but those are not NIB "new in box"

They are obviously out of the box. What u have are called NOS - New Old Stock (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_old_stock)

This does not affect value in anyway on typical antiques and the boxes are sometimes present sometimes not. But still NOS as in new but old and never used. Very cool.

The only time one might use NIB would be if it was sealed in the original box with the factory tape as in never opened and even then I would expect to see it still used in conjunction with NOS.

Hate to be a stickler but we need to treat these like the vintage collectibles that they are.

I love the Statesman. I would love to have one, even if it was an old beat up one.  ;D

Awesome lineup.

Nice and glossy - Sweet looking lineup Stephen!

I'm curious, how do the wooden legs attach to the brown Joe? Is it just a bolt protruding from the leg with a wing nut inside the bowl? Such a unique kettle!

~  The ash pan is inside the grill (lol)
~ Yes I have plenty of boxes and pamphlets
~  The legs of the brown smokey have screws, felt washers and wing nuts (below is a picture)
~ Doesn't matter to me the acronym anyone wants to give these NIBs
