Regarding the comment about a weak border around the image, note that mine is missing a good chunk of the frame on the right side. Perhaps things got worse as they printed the OMs (and ran out of black ink  ) Maybe I better run upstairs and see if I can squint enough to make my back blue, too! |
I find this very interesting. Ten years ago I had several Old Mill backs that, if you had never seen a brown one before, you would have said were dark brown. But board members agreed that these were not the same as the lighter-brown 'official' brown Old Mill. They were, of course correct; however, my dark brown ones were at least as far away from the 'normal' black Old Mills as is this blue one.
