Color changeling due to oxidation / environmental exposure. Orange inks are notorious.

Definitely an oxidized C-1. It should be a nice bright orange. A dip in hydrogen peroxide may help revive it some. 2017 Sc: C-1 used 30.00. Good luck!

Love this idea better than a dip, although it has helped in the past. I'm going to look through what I have and see how it does.

I found this in a batch of US airmails. It looks like the C1 Curtiss Jenny but has only a trace of orange. I would appreciate some help in identifying what it really is. Thanks. Dennis
