Need Help with Speaker Cable ID. What are they?

[URL]=http://s112.photobucket.com/user/joelvalder/media/sc_zps74eb8a25.jpg.html[/URL]

It has the following attributes:
-From the early 1990s
-Sold by a Vandersteen dealer
-Roughly the same diameter as Audioquest Type 4, but darker blue.
-About the same shade of blue as Audioquest Indigo
-The wire is stranded, not solid-core like the AQ family.
-No writing on the jacket.

Did Tara Labs make a blue cable? Is this a 90's "home install" AQ product?

In any case, thank you for looking and thank you again in advance if you can help me ID this product.

"Stereo5
It certainly isn't an Audioquest cable. clueless myself."

Actually it looks exactly like the original Audioquest Midnight, from the early '90's I believe. The original,not the + or '3' iterations. I had a pair of those in my system for years. Same cotton insulation, same dark blue outer cover, same looking conductors.

I know for sure that its not Midnight. Midnight is solid core and the OP's cable is stranded. Also, its labeled AQ Midnight non stop down the length of the cable. Too bad for the OP its not Midnight, its a very nice cable.

Midnight is quite a few strands in each conductor of solid core.
