Multiple checks indicate variations in that shape/color, mostly in packaging.
If there is no check, can you help me out?
( indicates production of that shape/color is unlikely.)

A ninth shape - Giant Pot - is said to have been manufactured briefly circa 1969. I have two Pots with unusually large Inner Diameter bowls. One is Ebony and the other is the older Federal Gold. Whether or not these are the shape advertised is still uncertain, but after over ten years of searching I am prepared to believe that the shape was announced before manufacturing was begun and the final product was different from the initial concept.

To see examples of the Bulldog Buff designs follow the links in the Collectibility Chapter of "A History of the Pipe" paragraph about them.

This second table shows pipes in the collection which have Fashion Stripes added to the basic color. So far as we know, Apple, Author, and Dublin pipes never had Fashion Stripes. Numbers are which of the eight patterns so far identified the pipe has. A number appearing more than once in any cell indicates different colors of stripes or packaging or some other variation but having the same pattern of stripes.
