Pics are fuzzy but the colors are there and the pattern doesn't seem to be post 1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Not Peltier. Might not even be a Watermelon. If it's a newer MK patch, it doesn't qualify for the name. Edit: I rushed to the link so fast that I didn't see your comment on the date. -- to me the pattern did seem more recent. Edit #2: Didn't seem totally standard but closer to the Color 1 - Color 2 - Color 1 model than to the classic MK Patch and Ribbon pattern. Not sure what to make of the base glass. Been awhile since I fished out my modern MK patches. Suppose I should've done that before replying, or at least before the 2nd edit. *sheepish* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 The color of the green is the only concern I have It does resemble this http://www.mibcollectors.com/view_lot.php?marble_lot_id=6962&back_link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mibcollectors.com%2Fmarble_types.php%3Fkeyword%3Dmarble%2Bking%26keyword_refinement%3D4%26exclude_keywords%3D%26photos_only%3D%26individual%3D%26condition_start%3D%26condition_end%3D%26size_start%3D%26size_end%3D%26price_start%3D%26price_end%3D%26status%3D%26orderby%3D10%26offset%3D30%26quicksearch%3D%26limit_member_id%3D%26searching%3D1%26limit_marble_collection_id%3D%26submitted%3D1&back_link_description= So who knows.

Steph Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Well, it's not a Pelt. And it's not a clean P&R pattern so I'd expect that to affect value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinemades Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think it is a nice Peltier Christmas Tree with minimal white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Marbles Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Your first link look like marbles found in this 'fantasy bag' http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MARBLES-WATERMELON-DELIGHTS-US-MADE-1940s-50s-FROM-5-CENT-PACKAGE-NICE-/221227959408?pt=Marbles&hash=item338236c470&nma=true&si=Zxi7PnbDAKGISsFTcQiWeiaTFTk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Now look at the pattern of these... not so much the color http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARBLE-KING-2-COLOR-RAINBOWS-AKA-WATERMELON-MARBLES-/111096353924?pt=Marbles&hash=item19dddbd484 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I was thinking the same William ( I know what fantasy bags are ) but the coloration and pattern were different to some point and the images being blurry, I posted here for input so I could be talked out of something I knew was a stupid gamble ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 It is for sure Peltier National Line Rainbo Christmas Tree, and somebody got a very good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I am with Sami on this one. The flip flop says a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 I don't see a flip flop. I still think modern MK. C'est la guerre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Unless it is my color blindness it looks like a flip lop in the first pic? But I am high on the fence for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 So fwiw, I see red ribbons on the left on both top and bottom. With a little bit of an ambiguous smudge between them. So red-green-red on top, red-green on bottom. And then more ambiguity about what happens on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 It is for sure Peltier National Line Rainbo Christmas Tree, and somebody got a very good deal. I agree with ya Sami. I have had some like this in the past. I think it's the pictures that is the real issue. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Okay now I am leaning way over to the MK side of this fence and just about ready to jump off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Doesn't it appear that this marble has a white base glass? Wouldn't that mean no Pelt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Pelt Christmas trees have white bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Duh! I plead temporary insanity on that one. I got caught up in the Watermelon part of the conversation and ignored the Christmas Tree part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinemades Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 That marble has a white base but covered almost completely with red and green ribbons. A little white can be seen between couple of red ribbons and under the thin green ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Marbles Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm with Steph on this one.... Not Peltier. I've been told that NLR's need to have at least one color separate to be consider a (insert name) NLR. This, x-mas tree has no such markings. Modern MK, get's my vote. Besides, this marble was on eBay. Only 2 bidder's took the Peltier name bait. This is all a MINT Pelt is worth? I think the world of watchers/bidder spoke volumes on it.... Modern IMO.
