Well, after meeting Brian (bcharlton) (nice meeting you Brian  smile I continued about an hour drive in up state NY and picked up this 55.  Never thought I would own a 55, but I needed a fix cause I didn't buy anything for a while lol.
Now I find myself looking for 35 and 55 sliders lol.  Sigh I have a problem lol.

Well, here she is
(It is embossed)

 Hey ED,your collection is really growing nicely! How close is the yellow color on this Squirt to the yellow on your RC? I just picked up a generic 55.

I haven't put the two side by side, but I don't think it would be a fair observation as my RC 81 was restored, and the 55 is a 50+ year paint.  Yet in saying that, I don't think it's too far off of a 81 RC, (the 55 may have a bit more of a mustard to it, but again, it might just be the age and dirt etc..)

Congrats Ed.  It was great meeting you as well.  Let me know if you need the coin mech and the rack for it.

I still have 2 complete 55s in my warehouse collecting dust.
