sclsu Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I would guess that this would fall under a "fruit salad" type, but it seems like a lot of ribbons for a pelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaMarble Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Dug multi color... Boyce and Mike dug dozens of that style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Did the 4 Color ever make production? I have a bunch of 3 color, but this is the only one I have that's 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I dug them, not Boyce, and I dug this one, too, but not dozens. I have only one like the marble above, but I suspect there are many others like it. I am less familiar with what was their standard production, than what they threw away... They did make other marbles with four or more colors, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sclsu Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 So that's a no to my question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think I see three colors - four counting the base glass. What do you see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Red, white, blue and green. The green ribbons are between the red and blue on the one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Looks like whats called a multi or tri colored Rainbo . Does not fit the multi-colored swirl definition for me. Not a fruit salad type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Looks like whats called a multi or tri colored Rainbo . Does not fit the multi-colored swirl definition for me. Not a fruit salad type Not swirly enough for the multi-colored swirl name, is what Galen means. Looks like a regular Rainbo but in multi-colored-swirl colors (red, white, blue in green; and yellow, white, blue in green are the two main ones. Also orange, blue, white in green. . . ) Plainer ones like this one are taken to be later than the swirly ones. I don't know that for a fact, however. If I'm not mistaken, and I very well might be, since I've only assumed it until now -- I believe the fruit salad needs to be in a colorless base glass. Is that right?

IowaMarble Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Correct, the marble show is simply a "multi-color" not a "multi-color swirl". Yes, the fruit cocktail family have clear base glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I understand it would be a multicolor rainbo, my real question is how often you might see them with 4 colors instead of the normal 3 color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm wondering if there really is a green ribbon there -- or if it is white which looks green because of the base glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm wondering if there really is a green ribbon there -- or if it is white which looks green because of the base glass. I thought about that, but to me the white ribbon doesn't look the same underneath the surface as the green ribbons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Is the base glass transparent green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 sometimes a blue ribbin colored green,this is caused by the green base. It has happened with my marble,the green ribbon on top is actually a blue ribbon,hope this makes sense.It can also happen with a white ribbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migbar Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have one that is like the multi color in question, and I think it is a very unusual NLR. Some of the ribbons are faint, but on one side there are distinct separate ribbons of blue, white, transparent red, white, green, green, white, and blue... These ribbons wrap around one half of the marble, and the other half is mostly the transparent yellow-green base glass... There are also weak ribbons of transparent red, white, and blue on one end of the base glass side... the other end the bottom side... and the other side...

sclsu Posted August 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yeah I count eight ribbons on mine. Mostly on one side as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migbar Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks Dave, if you're ever in town I'll show you. I could show you a multi color swirl type with four colors, also...blue white and orange on one side, and blue white and yellow on the other, twisted nicely...

Chuck G Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 This is a very imformative thread, love (ALL) the comments about them. I have been pretty busy but when i get time i will take a photo of a group of these starting with a (single) color and progress up to (counting white opaque) up to four colors with the white. I hope this will give everyone an idea of peltier starting with a single color and adding extra colors as they produced them. The peltier "Fancy Fruit Cocktail" has five colors with the white. As Chad says: they must be on a (CLEAR) base to qualify them as such. Bringing a photo later on. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
