I just went back and took a closer look at the "green" Currituck and I can't see that fading could have caused this color. The green color is too consistent over the enitire tower and connected building to be from fading. Even the areas at the base, behind the trees and the point where the building connectes to the tower are all the same olive green! I don't think the sun could have reached these areas even if the piece was rotated on a regular basis. As is with other pieces mentioned in the forum, the flag #s on this piece are no longer legible but the box indicates that it should be # 5699. Any other ideas out there? Greydawn
