Yep that is a blue.  Mine is slightly green but not so far yet.  Faball did make a few very limited edition green balls though for one of their staff but those balls are pretty much all in collector's hands I believe.

(Edit:  It was never for sale to the public. made exclusively for wayne webb in the 80's, his favorite color was green. very small quantity made from the baltimore factory only.)

Notice the I in the fab label.

The blue hammers that were made in the original St Louis plant tended to turn green with age.

What about this one?  My friend just found it in a garage he was cleaning out.  I know the picture looks grey, but he says it is definitely green.

The old east coast centers that I grew up bowling in would occasionally have those green/blue hammers on the rack. I used to know a pro shop guy that swore up and down that the constant cigarette smoke in the air would attribute to  those blue hammers turning green with age. I'm not too sure about that theory but the "Green Hammer" are hammers poured in St. Louis.
