Hard to say...the actual old ones from '56 or so DO look a little greenish/gold but I think they aged to that color. Lew

A poorly cared for vintage goldtop can end up looking like it's covered in mold. I've seen pictures. Not pretty.

Re: My goldtop looks wierd
I saw reissue gold top hanging in a pawn shop...being the refinsher that I am, I ask to see this odd colored LP. Where the arm/elbow rubs...totally green, behind the neck...totally green. It was really fugly and most surely caused by sweat...belonged to a known druggie who used to pawn it a lot...never came back the last time I guess. Having a lacquer finish means some durability sacrifice...I doubt you'll find the 'gangreen' effect on a poly top coated axe. :22:
