Steph Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 We've seen the occasional early Sunset box before. But have we known what the name meant? If we didn't, now we might.National Line Rainbos vs. Sunsets -- two colors vs. three colors?I've seen three-color marbles in NLR boxes, but maybe once upon a time this was the intended distinction?

Steph Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 *raspberry* You don't think there was meant to be a distinction? I was excited to see the description. I was gonna come post this if no one else bumped the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Keep digging, you may be on to something. I believe there may have also been another name or two used for these types???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Once upon a time Mike said that the Peltier name for the marbles in this box was Sunsets. I didn't make the connection to them being tri-color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I thought the word "Sunset" as collectors generally use it today is just the collectors' naming convention to group together the colorless transparent-based Rainbos with blades (or whatnot) of red, orange, etc. At least that's what I understood . . . Don't think I knew it was a name ever used by Peltier, or not one I ever noticed, anyway. Only have 1 Pelt box, my beloved Cerises. But now it looks to me like this two- or three-color thing may very well be a distinction intended by the company. This is interesting. Sitting over with Galen (imagine that) awaiting more revelations . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 There it is in black and white. Steph was right on. Now is there any packaging of the feathered slags labeled Glassonix????? I am guessing that is what they were???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Glassonix were not feathered slags. I'm still leaning towards something along the lines of multi-colors on those... (Steph's Study Hall...Acme Realers....post #7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
