This example is a little tougher to find when it is (edged), (traced) with the darker colors. Chuck G---

My (opinion) an early Bogard cat eye, as the shear cut lines do not seam to be Peltier. The patch configuration seams not to be Pelt either. Very few (black) cats eyes from Peltier was not produced, even though i (think) they produced them. Bogard made many black cats eyes. You find very few cats eyes in Peltier with this pointed ends to the patches, even though i could be wrong. I have many cats eyes with this design and throw imine into Bogard, so far until i am proven wrong. Getting old and i do make mistakes and passing on what i have learned is what i LOVE to do.

Treetiger, very nice examples. Ric is correct, the term "Buttermilk" is by most collectors is a name for Vitro. Now your shooter big Akro i do remember years ago there was a name for that one someone tagged but i do not remember the name. Peltier produced an example with the same color combinations called the "Wolverine". All three of your examples (could have) been in Akros Salesman Sample box but not sure on that. Chuck G---

Fire, a very nice example of a MCS swirl or an MCR turned ribbon, (but) it lies on an opaque white base instead of the regular colored transparent or clear base. I agree with Ric and Chad and the others. Some very good intellects on this forum. Chuck G---

Treetiger, i agree with the others. Now find one off those blue flame Alleys with (blue) av. You want an eye popper, that one is. Chuck G---

A very good discussion on this example. Conversations like these is an asset to the hobby and where young new collectors (learn). Chuck G---

A lot of the marble makers turned out some very twisty, swirly looking marbles, most likely due to the rollers turning to fast or slow. This is where the (Yeng-Yang) swirl appeared and the (Rams head Chevron). These two i mentioned you will find more in Peltier than most other makers. Chuck G---

Melissa, Ric is correct, as there is an MK named this also. A tip, the Mk is the same colors as the ones above, (but) the ribbons are a tad wider and the (pole) patches are different opposite colors. Chuck G---

I agree with the others. You have to watch, what i call, (wash over) colors especially when colors are layered on top of other colors. Example, if red is on white and (thinned) out, may show orange or maybe pink. There are so many very good people who over many years give you lots of insight to many things. Chuck G---

I agree with Ric, as the second photo has the lazy S shear cut seam. Chuck G---

Melissa, a Peltier "Dragon Fly" consists of this blue plus a green color deriving its name sake. Chuck G---

Fire, very (nice). i do know a little about these. Each example had just so many pounds made, and certain ones are (very hard) to find. Gino Biffany and i had talked a (LOT) about these as i have a box set he put together years ago with some of the hardest ones to find. I do come across some of these examples now and then but think most have been put into collections by now. This is some of the last things made in the marble world from the Peltier factory site. There are (3) color combos that are the best and hardest to find, especially in the wild. Chuck G---

I am gonna say Alley, wish it had (blue) av in it, those are HTF. Chuck G---

Yes, (six) ribbon Peltiers are very (good). Chuck G---

Boris, i agree, these are (fake). I have a very long story to tell about these but way to long to mention. Chuck G---

Yes, i agree. Chuck G---

Tommy, a good way to classify or just say in the "Golden Dragon" (family type). I always try to say (family type) and it covers a lot of territory. One named example can vary in so many ways and colors. I was taught many years ago to say in the (family type) makes it easier. Some may disagree with this. Chuck G---

This example is what i call a Peltier "Golden Dragon". A golden base, with reddish/pinkish wide ribbons with (one) green ribbon. Some may disagree with this. Chuck G---

Fire, if this example has a (slight) rise to the center equator, it had something to do with water. I have found out that some examples like this with the equator rise was the ball in an real early sump pump, supposedly, however i could be wrong. Chuck G---

I agree, (Vacor). Chuck G---

Fire, i agree with Ric. The first photo, most would classify as a "Blue Panda" probably. The second one has a more darker blue but still within the family type. Chuck G---

Fire, i agree with Ric. I have some of these examples and are pretty interesting but simple. I do think they added a little blue to the edges of the black ribbons for contrast. Often i have though that the black washed out under the white to look blue, but theses examples i do not think that. There is , so far, no name for these, as Ric said, just a "Rainbo". If you find an example that shows a (lot) more of the blue, it would have a much better eye appeal. This blue and black as well as green and black demands much attention, especially if they are Peltiers. Chuck G---

Fire, i am with you on this one. Chuck G---

Fire, it could be , but see what other opinions are out there on this example. Chuck G---

Fire, i am (thinking) possibly not a real old one, but could be wrong. I have one of these that i had got about 15 years ago, but not old, even though they look real close to Akros "Moonies". I do no ,think Akro made one this big size, but not real sure of this, as i am collecting any Akro that is this 1 1/4 plus bigger. Chuck G---
