278623 Michael Blair <branson2@s...> 2024‑07‑07 Re: Stanley maroon?
So, I found a Stanley "maroon" 220 (nice condition, actually sharp)
Arrived yesterday.  Now in some photos the color looks maroon.  In real
life, no.  There's a reason Stanley called the color "cordovan"  -- it's
definitely a brown.  Nowhere near the color of my #5.  Somebody a
hundred years ago wanted a maroon plane, and made it so.  Now it's mine.
