The dates on both of these are the same, they read the same except the number embossing on top of the crown. They read BROOKFIELD, 45 Cliff St. N.Y. reverse reads PAT'D NOV 13th 1883 and, Feb 12th 1884. They look to be maybe a powder blue to me. If you folks like I will get better pictures when the sun light is availble. Just let me know. Wes
