akroorka Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Is this even a thing? Is it a Pelt “Girl Scout” or is it just a new aged social media named marble? I know Girls Scouts as MK—very nice marbles imho. If you know me, I am really not into names but I will call this one at just a few hairs over 5/8” a NLR until I am corrected. The image on the end is a Pelt “ChristmasTree” dug piece—I just love this stuff. Is this an older piece or a newer piece? (I have always tought of this color combo as “Older”) Thanks—and-- Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pffft, I don't know, one person says it's this, another the other, guess we'll just wait & see what transpires ??

Ric Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I have (maybe had) a few of these types. To me, they appear a bit more like six-ribbon Rainbos than NLRs but "tweener" may be appropriate for these. I do not think I have heard a name for them recently. They may have been referred to as a type of "Dragon" back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I agree with Rainbo or tweener era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I remember when Tweeners were starting to show up and I think this definitely falls into that category. 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck G Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Art, think i will put my two cents in this subject. The term "Tweener" is a very good term, as i like it as one can also add this into maybe a (named family type) also. I have heard the term "Lemon-Lime" some years back. "Girl Scout" has been around for years also and (guessing) started with Marble King. Peltiers "Lemon-Lime" can be as Ric mentioned up to six ribbons. Most know it by the plain four ribbon examples. I have found these with (obverse) colors also. A yellow opaque base with four green ribbons, opposite of the green base and yellow ribbons. This example of yours i could also talk about it possibly being in the "Citrus" family as some look at them this way, having four or six opaque yellow ribbons. You can also find your example with half of the base blue. Some of my thoughts to this as a very good thing to discuss. Use this as you may.
