Common 'Tulip Time' example at top of photograph with the 4no experimental versions below

The differences between the red tulip pieces are (one marked tulip time on bottom), the other only dated, no Tulip Time marks. The yellow tulip piece has only date, no Tulip Time on bottom. The multi coloured tulip piece is marked Tulip Time. So, two with Tulip Time, and two without. All four pieces are not marked with the usual Bossons markings. And the multi tulip coloured one has the "sample' marked on the back with date.
