Correct livery for an Edgar Sealey Floatcaster de luxe

[vintage blanker]

Hi all. Ive not been on here for a couple of years (used to go under the name of Blankety Blank). Anyhow, recently I have got involved in vintage tackle, buying and selling, and some tentative refurbishment.I picked up a Milward's Floatmaster today for a fiver and have already managed to flog it for rather a bit more... Well, along with the Milwards I also got a Sealey Floatcaster. Now, this rod is in need of a full stripdown and rebuild. As far as I can tell, the old whippings are green. Does anyone know what the original rod came with? I'm tempted to give this one the full works and keep it. Cheers, joe.

Doing a quick google image search brings up a few results and it looks like green is the original colour...
