One of the wonderful things about pumpkins is the wide variety of colors that they come in. This pumpkin is no exception; it has an unusual dark olive color.
This pumpkin measures about 34 1/2 inches in circumference or about 11 inches in diameter.
Excellent provenance have come from the ex-Bruce Gidoll collection.

You can see a very dark brown color if you back light this float. But it's a 'no doubt about it' black pumpkin.
The glass has that mirror-like reflective quality that you like to see in black pumpkins.
It has a bit of a sunk seal but altogether the seal is quite good.
This float measures about 33 inches around at its widest so it's about 10 1/2 inches in diameter.

Unusual shape for a roller that also has a unique chartreuse color.
Definitely not a blown out roller. It's an undocument shape for a roller.
The color is also quite unique. To me, it looks a pale chartreuse or champagne color.
