Just a thought.
What color would you expect a bung hole reamer to be.
Figure blue or pink, that is when it's new :sick:

Even though it's antique it is in great shape. It's not blue but came out that way in the photo.

I was with my wife's cousins when I bought it and a few similar jokes came up at the time. Love antique shopping and good garage sales.

Looks like it may have a gun metal blue finish on it.
But pictures can be deceiving.
