My colour vision is perfect. Memory not.
The Weller low voltage temperature controlled irons so popular in workshops usually have blue handles.
I've never actually owned one. Have been an Antex fan since shortly after starting to play with electronics in the '60s. But now only use the actual handsets - the station is home made.
Pic here for anyone interested.

Which wiki?
The picture belongs to the guy in the USA. No e-mail address given, but if you could be a little more specific, I can forward the request back through rec.radio.amateur.homebrew.

I have a bright red handled one in my workshop, modern style but dating back to about 1975.

My first car was a Ford and that was yellow, 30 years ago. I follow your logic and conclude that all non-yellow Fords must be fakes.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "George" saying something like:
Pretty badly defined 5. It does look more like an S.

I second that - not all Antexes were yellow and that one in the pic looked to me right away as if it was an old Antex.

I look at it again and still see an S. :-) It takes a good hard look to see the flattened lines which form the top of the 5.

"What numbers do you see revealed in the patterns of dots below? "
Umm, 'S' isn't a number, not even a Roman one... :-)

It actually is pretty well the same font as used in the text. As a 5.

The whole idea is to show up even slight colour vision problems. Of course your monitor may not display the colours correctly.

The one thing this does all prove is you can't identify an iron by the colour...
