When were the last Copper Mist and Cado's made

[Gpinch1]

Also, was there ever a One-Touch version of them or were they too early.

Sorry for the newbie question.

Don't apologize, it is a great question.
The first year for the one touch system was 1983.
I am pretty sure that there were no 'cados that late, but I am not sure about brownies.

@Brian,  can you shed some light?

Copper Mist/Chocolate Brown

1969-1991ish. The color was introduced at the beginning of the "PAT PENDING" era and the last ones were available in a One Touch +/Master Touch models. Was renamed "chocolate" by 1976-77.

Avocado green, 1967-1973 (late thumbscrew era, PAT PENDING, pat number era) there are fewer examples of the pre pat thumbscrews (67-68) and more PAT PENDINGS (69-72) and less examples of the patent numbered cados (1973) Color was replaced by Lime in 1974. No one touch examples exist in this color.

Oh and don't apologize. If you have questions, ask away.

Ohhhh, that was great information !!!
Thanks so much.

So did the "chocolate" color in the 90's have the fade or were they solid brown?
If solid, when did the fade stop being made?

They did have the fade but it was less prominent in later years. A member here used to have a 1991 N code One Touch that has almost no fade. I'll have to see if I still have the picture. Seems the earlier the chocolate/copper mist, the thicker and higher up the lid the misting is.

Here's my PAT PENDING 26 Copper Mist.




Here's my stepdads 76-77 22.

Cool !

Was there a brown 18.5" One-Touch that had the fade?

[glrasmussen]

Here is an F code 18 shown. They do exist.

My "K" code w/ OT sweep.  Was in a battle w/ chained up dog, but worth saving.
