I note by the origin line you are in or near Putnam, CT.  We did live in 
Maine many years ago, I grew to appreciate antiques while there.  Sadly, I 
didn't have the funds to acquire some at the time. Re the green:  we saw a 
green that was dated the late 19th century and the newer green resembles it, 
hence the confusion on the time. A book would help determine the difference 
between the two.  The lilac is supposed to be older.  Have only seen two 
pieces of it and we bought one of them, not the $100 piece!   This is 
really addictive!
Thanx for your reply and offer of help!
In North Central Texas (Weatherford),
