Anyone ever seen an Aqua colored Jewel Light for Fender amps? (70's or before)
I've seen green & blue. I have a few and this one is different from the blue. Can't seen to find any info on that color on the web. I'm trying to also determine, because of their age, if they're plastic or glass. (without taking a bic lighter to them, of course!)

I have a Aqua colored one in my Silver Face Drip Edge Champ. Goes good with the turquoise lettering on the faceplate.

Can't remember where I got it from though. It is glass by the way.

The pictures don't do them justice, it keeps over exposing and drains the color

I've never seen a jewel lens for a vintage pilot-lamp assembly that was made of anything other than glass.

Is that aqua jewel different from the green I've seen for sale here and there?
