I have never been able to get a good window sill photo with my camera. It just cant handle the light contrast. I can only get good color photos out in sunlight or with high power wide spectrum lighting. I envy the people that can take those nice shots in the window. Some day I'll break down and get a better camera. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to bearswede) Post #: 24

Robert, I would call the GXIII-3 a light apple green, and the GI-17 a pale vaseline color. Both colors are light, so it would be best to show them in as many lighting situations as possible, if you decide to sell them. By the way, I hope you are enjoying those railroad flasks!

RE: trying figure out what color - 1/13/2008 10:37:24 PM    dollarbill Posts: 1459 Joined: 5/6/2005 From: maysville, kentucky Status: offline Hey Robert I would say Dougs pretty close with the light  green and lite to pale vaseline .Its true that there are so many greens out there it really hard to to tell . You may even want to take some pic of the flasks along side of say a bottle or two that your sure about the colors (ie other greens an aquas) to give something to compare them with . Ive had the same type of question in more than one case .Like what would you call this one green or dark aqua . I say lite green . others say aqua . Good luck. bill Attachment (1) (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 28

RE: trying figure out what color - 1/13/2008 11:04:56 PM    lobeycat Posts: 3803 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline The color depends if you're buying or selling....buying aqua, selling green.   The true color of any bottle is in the base where the glass is thickest. not always the easiest thing to capture on you cam though. Example: what color is this strap side? Attachment (1) _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD8XDgVe2EU long lost recipe (in reply to dollarbill) Post #: 29
