I think Mike is right on with the puce ink and maybe a little high on the citron.I sold a dug (lighly stained) one in a similar color for $400 about a year ago.That citron Dabeel posted is a different story.

woody... My 2 cents. The puce umbrella to the right customer could EASILY fetch $1500+ thats a RARE color, Like Mike said teh Baltimore star is a little light to bring the big $$$ so $750 is pretty much right on. However I strongly disagree with the citron estimates. We have had some really light umbrellas sell for some big $$$ dont underestimate that one

Dear Lord I think I find myself agreeing with both Mike and Dan[:mad:]

Seriously though, I agree that both the puce and citron inks COULD bring "big money" but as it has been well reported, inks are "soft" and they could also quite easily sell at or around Mike's estimates.

Dan's estimates are right on if you are willing to set a price and wait - if you're looking to raise fast cash I think Mike is more realistic

Effingham NH. Where else?
My guess?
To the right ink nut...
Puce--> $2000 - $2500, it's super crude, a killer color, and they aren't making any more.
Star--->$400-$600..
Citron-->$600-800.

I guess I'm just not as "pricey" as Dan! [:D]

Nice inks Woody!

Hopefully the color will show better on this picture of the puce ink.
