It is easy to confuse them when the pictures are not taken in good light.

Six years ago, I visited a collector who had about 50 or 60 examples of this model. I assumed it was his favorite casting until we talked about it. He had bought them all off ebay (one at a time) because the listing photos made them look green.

He could have saved a ton of money just buying one from a respected dealer.

To true, Blue and Green colours can seem different on ebay, or in pictures, I bid on this item a few years back because I wanted the Blue "E" box.
But when it arrived it was the Green one, I emailed the seller but he just said that it was how it showed with his camera.
I have still to find a nice "E" box showing the Blue model ;) ;)

That box looks pretty nice and it seems to show the blue model, what's wrong with that box?
