National Line Rainbos Vs. Sunsets -- 1931

Recommended Posts

We've seen the occasional early Sunset box before.

1931-ish Sunsets



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?

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 . . . :icon_popcorn:
