the light green version was probably from a run of glasses that didn't get enough pigment in the manufacturing process when they were made years ago in china or wherever....there wasn't alot of quantity control back then and if the glasses held liquid, they used them anyway.....i don't believe the glasses are rare by any means or made that way on purpose..a ship has only 2 sides...starboard and port....what could that pale green glass signify other than one of these??...anyway, that's my know-it-all theory for the day...anyone else??...bueller???.....bueller?....

size varience may be from shrinkage in production or maybe from a run of knock-offs made back in the day....or these could have been made by another manufacturer that trader vics thought was cheaper but once they saw the color and quality, they kept them (cause they already paid for them) and went back to using their original factory that made the nice colored ones we see today....
