Hi All :

Sorry that I need to ask some very elementary question....... Huh

I am trying to differentiate what is a "correct" red colour for an old bottles compared to a modern red colour..... that Ruby red that is always talked about, or as a matter or fact, any red colour that is used in anitque bottles







I have tried to get some photo and wonder can they be use to differentiate between old vs new...... (I am not sure if the first 2 are anything old, I am quite sure the 3rd one should be new)

Thanks a lot for all your help

   Could I impose on anyone who has a scanner and my 1987 catalogue, to post #1, 14, 17, 21, and 23, so I can show Pin what genuine Ruby red glass looks like? I was very careful to match the colour separations to the original bottles, so the colour should be correct.
Thanks,
 Joey
