It's not mine mike, as I stated in post #18 if the scans are accurate it's definitely brown the Doyle is on the left in that post even the ink in the finger print from one of the ALC workers looks brown.

It's hard to tell in some scans but in hand it's easy. Both of the Brown Lenox that I've owned were the darker versions and they are the hardest to tell with
scans but in hand it was easy to see that they are brown.

Sometimes PSA has a hard time deciding and maybe it depends on what that particular grader sees. This Willis was originally graded as brown and then they changed it to black. I think they had it right the first time (also depending on the accuracy of the scan). The funny part is it sold for $7800 in the brown label holder and $14,400 in the black label holder.

Here's the Willis on the left next to a black Lenox from the same auction
