HLC hit a home run with this one. Perfect example of how the right shape with the right treatment can make a good selling line. This shape didn't do to well with its other incarnations Jubilee, Debutante, and Suntone. Skytone just plain works!
On a related note... Several years ago when I was going through drawings of unused HLC backstamps, I came across one for Meadowtone. Don't know if this might have been a green version or something completely different, but it had the marking had the same styling as Skytone and Suntone. I've been going crazy trying to find a picture!
Oh my..... green would be beautiful. Nothing you haven't seen before, but I added a couple of images to this page and the Suntone page.
I set these to load automatically about a month ahead at a time. It never occurred to me to check what was loading. When I was putting The Pottery Papers together, the uncut version ran about an hour and a half. Even the most dedicated would find it difficult to sit through that much paper! So I ended up cutting it down to run about 65 minutes and I cut a lot of the non-Fiesta stuff. Some of it was never even scanned ..... someday maybe I'll go back through all this and rescan (some of these scans from 10+ years ago are pretty awful) and insert some of the other piles of paper. :-)
Now that I look at it, adding the Kraft Blue stuff to this page could be pretty confusing. I don't think I have anything else "Kraft Blue" to justify a "paper" page for it that I remember, so for the time being I'll just let this little creamer hang out with the Skytone. :-)
