A riveting, intense yellow-orange miniature, from this important and one-time-only 1969 find. This has big yellow balls, and looks like an inflating balloon. Complete all around. About the best color you ever see in the material. As well, undamaged examples like this turn up only seldom. Joe Budd Photos.
