Consecutive flatgates with Ivory

[KWend54]

I ended up putting the Ivories on one of these flatgates because I found another set to dress the pair up. I was hoping for a better color match but one set has a little more yellow. Still look good but those of you with a matching pair having ivories did you get lucky in color match or is there a difference? I want them to match as these two have been together since shipped together in September 56 to Omaha NE……. or is it close enough?

Hey Kenny,

I'll have to look when I get home from vacation but I'm pretty sure I have a nice whiter set if you wanted to swap out of the yellow set. I don't leave them on the guns, and I prefer the more yellowed versions as they are used for my displayed. I like the whiter ones on guns but the yellowed versions on displays.

Add a buck or three and my opinion is maybe worth a coffee. I think closer matched is a bit better. I like the more yellow better but that's just me. They're beautiful as is. Congrats on such a fine set.

They both look good to me but I think I’d take Troy up on his trade offer and have them both with the brighter white.

I agree......then I can trade Troy out of the icky yellow ones

Super nice offer from Troy and I understand him liking the yellow tint…… I think I do too!
But, not only for the aged look, the yellows have such interesting provenance having belonged to Roy Melcher, I really want to keep them.
I will just keep them like they are for now until and if I happen upon a more yellow set.
I will talk to Troy once he returns…..if his legs havent gave out yet
