Did they have colored film in the 30s? I do not think you will find an original color photo of a Firestone Wayne 50 but you never know. When I got my original Firestone Wayne 50 several parts of it were stripped and primed but what was not was orange for the original color. The base was stripped so do not know if it was orange but the rest was. The inside of the display area was silver including the inner glass frames. The inset area of the face bezel was black, the beaded lip around the glass opening was silver and there was a black stripe around the edge like the one pictured above.

This is how mine ended up getting done. I did the base orange and did not put the black stripe going around the face bezel.

They have been taking color pictures since before 1910.

I agree but Matt you have products stacked on top ,stacked out front. I'm trying to collect a few cans also,and everything I get two of my grandson gets them. So if you ever get enough I think my chances will increase.LOL!
