41 points description

J. D. Williams offered two pipes on eBay. J.D. described this one as a "dusty rose" and it certainly isn't either Burgundy Red or California Rosé. It looks to me as if it may have been either the first pipe off the paint line after a switch from California Rosé to Burgundy Red without the sprayer being well cleaned. It could also be a pipe soaked too long by an owner causing the red to fade. Perhaps it was an originally white pipe that was repainted by an owner. I am keeping it on the Table of Colors and Shapes of the pipe page until it is determined for sure that it is a painting anomaly and not an additional red color.
