Steph Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm not seeing Pelt. I _think_ I'm seeing several very thin vanes. Is that right? If so, then I think foreign. The Pelt banana can have vanes or ridges but I expect them to be somewhat plump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 This box which Hansel posted shows how some Peltier bananas can have ridges. And I guess I even see some thin vanes. But as thin as yours? (Also, it's tricky to call them "bananas" anymore when they have distinct vanes, but if they're known Pelts and definitely part of a banana run, then I guess they slide under the wire.) (I'm still thinking foreign on yours, and not "banana".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 So more like these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Most of those have much too distinct vanes for me to be tempted to call them bananas. Bananas are supposed to be thick ... like bananas. The closer it is to having four separate vanes, the less likely it is I'll call it a banana. The white one in front has such clear base glass, that I think it could turn out to be an American-made marble -- could be either Peltier or Master. And for me, I don't call it a banana unless it's Peltier or Master ... along with being plump. I don't call Asian marbles bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm trying to find where I stashed pictures of my most classic bananas. I guess I may have to take new pix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
