Whoa Nellie--so much more significant!  ---Brian Powell |

I acquired this Blue Mantle at an Antique shop for $15.....circa 1987.
I've looked for another Blue one ever since then. Have not seen one.
But, a friend of mine in the California said he had (or seen) one years ago.
I guess we can chalk it up to a really rare printing error.
