W517 colors and availability

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>brian p</b><p>I am not too familiar with the W517 set and would love some input. What color tints are found in the W517 set? I know of Sepia, Green and Purple. Are there other colors out there? And how would you rank the availability of each tint? Here is what seems most likely to me, based upon my limited observation:<br><br>Sepia--most common<br>Green--somewhat common<br>Purple--rare<br>Other colors?--as rare or even rarer than the Purple<br><br><br>I would love to read what others think/have noticed,<br><br>Brian

Watch out for fakes as you buy the W517's.<br><br><a href="http://www.bandkgreen.net/lefty_grove/z_1931_w517.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.bandkgreen.net/lefty_grove/z_1931_w517.htm</a><br>
