Hi
I've been looking at/for Dual Tones on the net for abour 5 years. Sometimes I just Google Supro and see what comes up, and I look on ebay at least once a week.
They are nearly all white, with some variants in black - the Silvertone branded Valcos are black, with 1 or 2 pickups. I have an unbadged black Valco which is mostly like a Dual Tone, with some differences. The Val Trol solids (semi-solids? the ones with the tiny controls) are all black with white/cream binding.
Never seen a blue finish on any 50s Valco, but they did use a blue finish in the 60s...
