Craig,what is the color of that bluey Dominion 42? Looks like the same color as the 108 Dominion 9.Looks like Delft blue but not the style i'm used to seeing.Usually associated with the 'fat' Dominion 42? I picked up a couple of these from Jeff Laplante back in the early nineties for about $100 in trade, I think Rod Bushfield called these 'poor mans cornflower' Anyways thats lots of nice stuff you have there,thanks for sharing. :)

I call it light cornflower blue. I could be wrong on the name of the colour as I dont specialize these in 154's actually only have about 10 of them in my collection if you look throught the skirt area you can see lots of blue swirling in the glass.

a few more from the collection.

5 ponies teal green this is one of the darkest teal greens I have seen typically they are a shade or 2 lighter, folllowed by a chartruese , then a midnight blue, mustard yellow with milk swirls, and last a light teal blue much tougher to get than the typical dark teal blue.
