Dan:

Have you talked to the dealer about it first? It could be that his scanner does not record the color properly, if you are just going on the picture. If that player never was made with a brown back, then it is another story, but the dealer has awfully good feedback and a bunch of it.

I'm not saying it is a brown back, but am wondering what leads you to be so sure it is not.

Yes I wrote him, I can see that it isn't, his scan is fine. Brown old mills are all hand cut. This is a blatant faded black. No question. Dan.

Agree with Dan on this one. The back seems to be a faded black Old Mill.
The Brown Old Mill backs are the same color as the Broad Leaf backs, and most of the known Brown Old Mill examples are narrow side to side.

I understand why the seller thinks it is brown. I once purchased a large collection of Old Mill backs, and a few of them, while not brown, were a distinctly different ink color from the normal black - they were NOT washed out, but rather seemed to have some brown in the ink.

Since then, I have seen a real brown Old Mill, and they are very distinct - they are as brown as a brown Hindu. But the ones I had were definitely not "light black".
