    A bit different shape and CD# for this one and it comes in various colors as well. This one is a bright and vivid mustard/olive tint, but others I have had range from a light apple green to dark Granny Smith apple green, yellow green and some that were more olive with less mustard coloring.

    These were used throughout the former USSR on homes, businesses and power poles, and before the photos came out of them in use, people thought that such exotic colors were being newly made in old molds for collectors. However, seeing them in use on these buildings and poles has pretty much put that thought to rest.
