Steph Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Of course red and white on the clear bubbly base .... What others? Are bubbles required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have orange and yellow ones, and I consider those sunsets. Idk if bubbles are required, but they are normally present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 What all variations are you aware of? I know of Burnt Sunset with brownish ribbons. Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Back in 2001, Mary M. had considered all of these to be Sunsets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Call me crazy, but I just can't attach the name "sunset" to anything but the red / orange / yellow ones . . . And I think bubbly is required, but I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 These are the ones I at least once-upon-a-time associated with the name "Burnt Sunset" (BT's and RAR's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Some more burnt than others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wonder if this qualifies. Are green sunsets a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 I was hoping this topic would get more attention. Has anyone ever heard of a green sunset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdNargel Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 IMHO red/ yellow/ orange ones are Sunsets like Ann said, then you have the burnt Sunset variation. I've heard some other colors called in the "Sunset family" to me that's a bit of a stretch, they're just transparent Rainbos in my opinion.

I'llhavethat1 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Ric, I'm 50/50 on that last one you posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Steph, this could get into a (huge) discussion. So many collectors have their (opinions) on this family type and it may run into many many directions. "Sunsets" are a generalized family type to describe an overall group set by most collectors to fall into a certain described marble. So, to start, is it still a "Sunset" if the base is a colored transparent base? Do "Sunsets" all have outer vaneered ribbons or internal ribbons or both? Does a "Clear K&M" or "Clear Clown" still be classified as "Sunset"? For me and this is my (opinion), so do not hold it against me, that if the pelt has a defined name but just say that this is a "Clear K&M" that is in the "Sunset" family type. I (think) when Peltier produced the (named) box sets called "Sunsets" they may have had absolutely anything in the boxes, trying to keep the theme of the "Sunset" name. It is just a plain generalized category name. My thoughts and opinions.  Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 The Peltier boxes marked Sunsets were way earlier than these types, Â And if the colors are not sunset related why call it a sunset?? From the Name Hater, GWW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwas Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 "The Name Hater" That's funny Galen. Maybe we should start a stupid marble name game.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwas Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 There really is something wrong with a green sunset, its almost as bad as a red zebra. All the cool names like flaming dragon and superman then somebody throws in something like (Bifrucated) what the heck is that all about? I could easily be a name hater too.

jeeperman Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I have always just considered the type in this group to be sunsets, a mix of  reds, oranges and yellows with white. While I don't have any burnt I think I have a couple variants if that's what you would call them. I will post a few of those in a bit maybe. I am not hater per say but I do think you should be able to see the name in a marble. However not being the name police, I tend to go with what is generally excepted no matter how it grinds me. I am thinking along the lines of a tootsie roll.....I just don't see it, and then I see a marble that any child would tell you it looks like a tootsie roll but the name is already placed elsewhere. lol Back to the Sunsets...

jeeperman Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Would this then be a cloudy sunset? =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 A pink Sunset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 And then there is this....I have thought to be a clear clown. No white. Are we wanting to put it in the sunset family? I don't think so but it does fit color and bubble wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 What about a yellow/gold base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I see nothing wrong with a name per say, you were given a name when you were born, RIGHT!!! You are different than anyone else and you fall into a family group of your own. It would be a blessing to bring the west sumwhat in line with the midwest in all our discussions of marbles. This would really enhance the hobby tremendously for all. FACT, after all the Peltier factory was in Illinois. Let us all come togather in line with each other. We are all here to (BUILD) this hobby i feel. My opinion!! Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budwas Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 It's all in fun Chuck Jeeperman, I enjoyed your sunsets! They still shouldn't have named my cousin Dorcus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I know, and in my hearts desire for all, and in its future success in marble collecting we (ALL) want on the same page and for those who know me, that is the legacy us older folks want to leave. You are right all in fun times.
