Colored Shingles

[Jim Katen]

Found in the attic of a 1922 house.  

 

I've seen lots of old bundles of shingles in the corners of basements, garages, & crawlspaces, but I've never seen asphalt shingles packed in cedar crates. Even the oldest were wrapped in Kraft paper or something similar. Maybe I've just led a sheltered life.

I'm wondering if that's how Sears or Wardway shipped their shingles with their kit homes. . .

I don't understand GREEN.  Are they Hunter Green, Forest Green, Chateau Green, Mint Green, Emerald Green, Empire Green, Pastel Green, Evergreen, or Veridian?

With that age they have to be "Patina".
