I found this Ludwig tom at a music store, at least it has the classic lugs and keystone badge. However, it is not a 3ply shell, it doesn't even look like a 6ply shell, anyone have any idea what this might be? Thanks.

Judging by that vertical wood grain, I would say MIJ with Ludwig hardware

It is indeed an MIJ lauan shell of unknown origin, likely a Pearl stencil. (with the aforementioned Ludwig hardware). Looks nice, but sounds like a Pearl tom, my guess. Is that a wrap or contact paper?

Could it be one of these?: http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/images/finishes/pearl/1980_pearl_finishes.jpg

Or perhaps one of these?:
