Fire1981 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 I saw a post several years ago that talks about this type of Rainbo. When the transparent ribbons meet it the matrix. When backlit the the light passes through all of them. You usually don’t see that on Rainbos with white base glass. He had name for this. I don’t know if it’ll a homemade trait or not ? Any ideas here 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 Backlight your Rainbos and see if you have any of these. You might have one. They really stand out 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Hmmm, all I can think of is "window". I must have missed that discussion. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Fire, one could (possibly) put this into the Peltier "Windsheild" family type. I like seeing at least 45% of the (window) area to classify it as such. Most were in the light amber colored transparent base glass but i am sure there are other colors. A super nice example no matter. Chuck G--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
et cetera Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I'm confused - I thought a Pelt Windshield was a much more specifically colored type with a large colorless clear window on only one side. This marble I'm looking at looks like a simple green and white Rainbo? Perhaps due to happenstance and the variable nature of mass production this one just has wider transparent green ribbons than the majority? So- can any Pelt with enough transparency be a Windshield? That would be news to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 A little clarification, on this. You are correct and i must (NOT) throw some examples into certain named marbles which i have tendency to do so now and then. You are very correct in what you are say about the "Windshield" type. When i mention (family type) it means something similar to the name, maybe not being actually what it is. i am getting older now and sure DO NOT want to confuse this hobby any worse. If you took this example and reflect to the original "Windshield" only having green glass, what would it be then? The term "Windshield" is a and or a generalized term for a specific type. In Peltier you can find many that resembles these that have a lot oof open spaces to the look. Things like this makes for more discussion that helps the hobby. Your question is a good one, in reference to an Akro "Pop Eye", how much clear glass should it contain? Chuck G--- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
