I always thought these were interesting, but I didn't realize how rare they might be until I read Brent Burger's comments in ICON Digest. I was comparing embossings and found something very interesting. The piece on the left in this photo has a blot-out and some re-engraving. Maybe just a clean-up job, who knows? See the next photo for a close-up. As for color, when I see these two pieces in the middle of a bunch of aquas, they stick out like a sore thumb. Blue. When set beside Hemingray blue pieces, they show an aqua influence.
