I believe the machine was originial blue and gray. Would like to see any pictures of blue and gray Mills extraoridinary.

Finally got it finished. It turns out that the machine was painted three times. Once from the factory. Then the blue was painted a darker blue than original and the sides were painted a light brown. Lastly the machine was painted the dark brown color, and they even painted part of the coin tray. I was able to see the original light blue and grey color when I removed the handle and the trim ring.

Sweet. There are repro paper eagle logo cards in a light blue closer to your paint color, that might look better - Dave at Bernie Berten's has them. Of if you happen to see this post anytime soon, I have one of them and would rather have the dark blue plate that you have - want to trade?

Machine has been sold. I think the dark blue looks better than the light blue. The metal ones are hard to find.

Here is the original brochure from Mills in 1933, The Golfball version of this is very collectable.
