The top shell of this Thomas M-2230 "Flappityback" is a nice mottled orange-brown, the bottom shell? Blah! Many of these were just mixed unmatched glaze colors. Back then, who gave a dam? Little were they to know that somebody would even like something like this! I picked this one off a pole I climbed on an abandoned mine power line near Leadville, CO. back about...lessee..1971. Yes, I made sure the line was cut clear dead.
