jeeperman Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Came across this Peltier and thought I would share. After doing a bit of research trying to nail down just what it was and how close to what I thought it was, I found that it does not seem to be one than many have seen. I believe it to be in the Citrus family due to the colors but a variant as it is not the standard configuration. Any thoughts are welcome. I know name can be unpopular with some but I like them as they help define an individual marble within a family. For me it helps to explain just with marble I speak of when in conversation over said marble. This one reminds me of a Creamsicle and has the blueberry color as well, so I am calling it my.... Blueberry Creamsicle. So you can see the colors better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 So how far is it from the Liberty Citrus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I think I've seen a similar colored one before but not as translucent and more of a darker orange than a yellow-ish orange. And the pattern wasn't as crazy. Heck, maybe it wasn't even close at all. lol. Nice marble tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Paul, It is Liberty Citrus. A blueberry Citrus would have yellow ribbons instead of red ones. Sami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I win!My prize is the marble, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks everyone for the thoughts. Sammy, I take your point on the Blueberry and needing yellow. I should have called it plum {Plumsicle} lol anyway as it is more purple than blue. So I see the name did not make as much sense as I thought. Flying by the seat of my pants being not real up on all of the names. However to both you and Steph I pose this question. What about this marble says Liberty? I assume a name should help explain the marble, there is no red and no true blue so why liberty? I would love to see other marbles that bare the name Liberty citrus.

Steph Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I just checked out a couple of classic pictures. I'm not up on all the finer distinctions, so I wasn't totally sure, but I thought maybe it would be that. Maybe two of these in this photo would count as Liberty Citruses: Here's another often shared photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thank you Steph. I do see the connection with these, although I kinda feel like mine might fall short with no red or reddish color. The near electric orange is there and mine has a slight bit of pink but no red and my purple seems to be somewhere between the plues and the purple of the plum....

machinemades Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 It looks blue from here. I never heard a purple with red combo... A rare one. Liberty Citruses have strong orange ribbons, not really red ones as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yes, it is not the purple I see in the collage above it seems lighter. However it is to my eyes purple and a long way from the blue in those same collage's above. I guess saying red was wrong I was referring to the rusty brownish in those above that mine lacks. Sammy, don't take this as me being difficult, just trying to get a handle on what makes what what and why. =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Cause some crazy Pelt collector said so and a few more agreed. You really gonna try and figure out the name game?? Why is it a Liberty when it is Orange????? heck being a Citris type why isn't it an Orange Blueberry Citris? Galen, Founding member of NHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Exactly! lol My thought is this....a Liberty is Red White and Blue. Makes sense. A red, White, Blue and a orange would fit a Liberty Citrus. Take the red out of either of these marbles and there is no Liberty. In the collages above the Citrus Liberties all have a little of the rusty brownish redish color....I can see the call though it seems a stretch if that color is not red but brownish orange. Not saying this is how it is, but to me would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hey Paul, a very good discussion, hope this helps somewhat a little better for you. I like both of the marbles you have and yes, deffinitly be in my collection. Great examples of quality beautiful pelts. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I like the original idea of 'Blueberry Creamsicle'. (Banning any other established legal precedent.) 'Blueberry' is a good description of a color that falls between a 'Liberty' blue and 'plum'. There's enough purple in blueberries that if you actually saw one that was pure blue you probably wouldn't eat it. The creamsicle part goes without saying.
