After 33 years in the hobby I still can't tell you where the line is drawn between some of these signal colors! This clearly has an orange hue but is also dark brown in the dome. So, is it dark orange amber or root beer? You have to judge from the photo.

This one is EIN [070] which is the sharp drip point variant. As the second photo shows [id=403141679] this specimen has completely rounded drips. It appears that this is the result of an underpour as this color isn't documented for an RDP type with this embossing.

I find no damage!

So, high book for root beer is 100.00, for dark orange amber is 175.00. Because of the condition, I'm going to offer it for $135.00 postage paid.
