While originals were issued "white" I don't think they were ever as white as the 25th's. A different plastic was used for the 25th's years later.

That being said you can find originals in lots of shades from white, off white, cream, yellow etc. And yes the yellowing is a function of time, though it has been reported that the originals at times were made with reground plastic, meaning they took old plastic "melted it down" and poured it into the molds.

Supposedly the reground plastic yellowed more than the "virgin plastic" that was used on others.

Hope this helps
