examples:

i'd heard the blue color was on replacement fretboards but .... someone must know.
can the turquoise ones be found with the metallic borders/lines? |

Chris, I have a pair of all silver Emmons fretboards that must be very rare.

On my '64 Emmons, the turquoise symbols have faded to a very pale robin's egg blue, though the colors remain fairly original on the other frets.
In the very early 70's there was a run of boards with all white frets and fret markers. I've only owned one like that, and have only seen a few.

Sorry, I realize I was looking at the underside of the fretboards. The other side has black with fret lines and atom symbols.
