Anyone else have photographic proof?

Photographic proof?
I have LePro tips from the 1980's...they are dark brown. My old "stash" of "good" LePro tips.
I have never seen them black unless someone did that to them.

Age oxidizes.
Wood gets darker...tips get darker.

1999 when I still had 1987 tips left?
I'll tell you why. I read (probably in The National Billiard News) that there was a difference between the new browns and the older blacks.
True, but it doesn't explain the difference of the LePros of the early 70s, compared to now. Even brand new, the early 70s LePros were very dark, scuffed, brand new. Today's LePros, as I said in the earlier post, are medium brown, all of them.
A bit of a mystery, not necessarily explained by age, oxidation, or voodoo. That long ago, it was a different formula. I know nobody wants to go there, but it is the case.
All the best,
