29 points description

Don Boos (44donb) offered this pipe on eBay. It adds to the red-white-and-blue five stripe patterns that I have in the Bent and Billiard shapes. It may be that these are the only shapes on which this particular pattern was painted on Ebony pipes. Time will tell. Much later I learned that in the early days the All-American pattern of striping was offered on Ebony pipes too and this is an example of the good ol' red, white and blue on a black pipe!
