  1. Peltier NLR Blue Zebra has a white base w/ black ribbons containing av overlapping the white base. Giving the black ribbons the illusion of being blue. They usually have the standard NLR 4 ribbon structure, I found this pic and posted it so you can see the blue av.
  2. Vitro was also my first intuition, though my "Pelthead brain" tricked me for a minute
  3. Using a Sony Handycam, tried everything, disabled everything and back, I'm wrestling w/ it right now, to many functions not enough brains behind the lens Focusing and auto pic are no problem ?? That being the problem, all the automatic functions I turned off and put it all on manual & still it tries to do it w/o my even touching it. Don't have a cell phone, don't even know how to turn one on, I'm "unplugged" I guess is the word ??
  4. This might be a minute, I gotta think & then manipulate my camera again, I think it has a built in memory, even w/ the auto focus off it gets faster @ focusing every time, way faster than I can hit the button ??
  5. Yes, Sherry's marble is a much newer Rainbow
  6. There are 4 base colors for Pearlized patches, white being the most common, I'm sure there are other variations out there. LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/6786-mostly-pix-peltier/#comment-60770
  7. "Happy Peltier Tuesday" STEPHS STUDY HALL FORUM IS AN EXCELLENT READ W/ REAMS OF PIX AND INFO, YA BETTER GET SOME EXTRA BUTTER & HAVE A SEAT .... 26 PAGES OF PELTHEAD PARADISE LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/6786-mostly-pix-peltier/#comment-60770 AAM History LINK :: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?t=948 COMPANY HISTORY The Peltier Glass Company, located in Ottawa, Illinois, has its roots in the 1880s but did not begin producing marbles until the 1920s. However, when it did begin manufacturing them the company did it with a flourish. The story of Peltier Glass begins in 1859 when Victor Peltier, a glass craftsman, immigrated to the United States from his native France. He moved to Ottawa, Illinois, and worked at the Ottawa Flint Glass and Bottle Company from 1882 to 1886. At this time he established the Novelty Glass Company in Ottawa. This location was already home to several other glass companies, owing to the allure of its deposits of silica, which were among the purest in the nation. Here, Peltier manufactured a variety of glass items, including lamp chimneys, library lamp shades, Pullman car windows, cathedral windows, and more. Most of these items were composed of opalescent glass. In 1919 the factory burned down. Peltier rebuilt it and changed the name to the Peltier Glass Company. Shortly thereafter, Victor's two sons, Sellers and Joseph, took over the company, along with one of their own sons. Soon, the Peltier brothers included marble manufacturing among their company's operations. This began around 1927, and the machinery used was patented by William J. Miller in 1926. This machinery was actually made in 1920 and used by Nivison-Weiskopf Company until 1924, when it was probably sold to Peltier. Records indicate that this little known company produced some 2,700,000 marbles with Miller's machine, though it is currently unknown what these marbles looked like. In their first full year of marble manufacture, Peltier produced approximately 33,000,000 marbles. The earliest Peltier marbles were made with the single-stream Miller machinery. Swirls and slags were produced in this manner. Within a few years Peltier updated the machinery, which eliminated the random swirling if "Miller" marbles. Due to declining sales in later decades, mostly due to the influx of the extremely popular "catseyes" from Japan, Peltier stopped producing marbles in either the late 1960s or early 1970s, though the company remains in operation today and still produces a variety of glass items
