Nawwwwwwwww..really? I am thinking of that color you see on the hands of old pocket watches, markers found on old scientific gauges, old music box springs..it is a nice dark royal kind of blue. From what I am thinking it has to be a heat treatment of some kind. I think I first encountered it when I took old alarm clocks apart as a child. But..'japanned' and tin plating do ring a bell in my mind. It could be the old 'school's out' bell, who knows?
