I bought some new black hoses. 1 were black but the others were very dark gray.

I noticed others listed the black hose with description telling it is dark gray.

Are both colors authentic lego?

Hello

I'm guessing that 3 of those hoses are old hoses from old lego technic set(s).
The black hoses weren't that black at that time (1985-1990).

You could compare it with the hoses from the lego technic set 8862 (yellow backhoe),
a set which I'm currently in full process with (cleaning parts and rebuidling
to have pics for showing quality) before selling on BL

Greetings, Yapke
