Not to worry, Hink. It was I who put my left testicle on the chopping block. I dont however feel like we have a consensus on the colour of the lettering. I think at best, I would be on the hook for perhaps an earlobe or foreskin. I think its fair to say that the printed book might be skewing the yellow a bit, and the ebay version shows blotching / fading. Without seeing side by side in person, we will never know. I suppose the gents at the factory might have not been particularly advanced on colour matching in 1890? Who knows
