In these latest pics, the upper right one is the Pelt and the upper left looks sorta Pelty too but it's hard to tell - the reflections of your windows sort of distort the seams and patches.
-
The left one looks like a Peltier Skunk to me, kinda hard to tell on the right one - what does the base glass look like? It might be a newer MK.
-
Thanks for the more subdued background. They all appear to be Pelt Rainbos. But the white ribbons on the upper right one look very weak in this photo. In fact, I might need another view to be sure it is. It looks like most of your light is coming from the top of your photos, which leaves the lower sides of the marbles shaded and harder to see. You may want to get yourself between the window and marble, if you know what I mean, off to the side a bit of course, so you don't shade them with your body.

. . . but . . . but . . . . but some are far less common than others, and your Conqueror bag contains marbles spanning about 25 years of production. You are apparently far better adjusted than I - that sort of hodgepodge would drive me crazy(er).

That's a nice selection of Mike's marbles, Rick. I'd say you are way ahead of me. I only have two of Mike's marbles, although I do have the packaging inserts with them. Do you have the inserts too?
-
I really like the Vitro Hybrids too. As for collectibles . . . cat's eyes with black . . . , although Bogard did make quite a few of them, other types, even Asians are not very common.
-
It looks like you still have some sorting to do . . . there are Blackies and Black Line All Reds in your second bag and Tiger Eyes in with your Conquerors. But Conquerors and newer All Reds are probably the most common vintage marbles that Vitro produced so it's not too surprising you have loads of them. 🙂

Cool William. Is that a jelly jar for reuse as a drinking glass, perhaps? -

Looks like a good day, Joe! -
I'm feeling nostalgic today so I'll post one of Mike's (migbar) marbles. He hand-inscribed the marble no., size and date - the rest of the info is printed on the insert. And the marble photo is actually cut out of photographic paper and glued to the insert. He was great guy, very artistic, one-of-a-kind, for sure. And he made some really dandy marbles too.

Cool marble, Chad - looks like a blizzard to me!
-
That's a nice looking Rainbo, Joe!
-
Now you know why I hesitated to commit to an ID on this one. 😉

Cool Marble King -
I like the leather a lot better, and if you could crop the pic before you upload it we probably wouldn't have to click and zoom as much. And every time I see that yellow marble it looks a bit different - I may well be losing it. lol But it's never a bad idea to compare your pics to the marble in hand just to be sure the pics are a true to the marble.

AV of all types is common on the contract run JABOs but it is rare on the JABO Classics.

It's a cool looking marble - the spots remind me a little of one of Mark Matthews' Predators (it's not though). Maybe @Alan might recognize it. -

I think your marble and Melissa's are quite different. -

Well, after looking at my marbles (and talking to Ron, lol) I think you better take good care of that one for now - it may be a rare Ravenswood. But I'd wait for Ron to have a look - he'll know for sure. Is it 9/16"? -
I'm thinking Akro for most - third down looks more Vitro though.

I found a way to slow the video, which helps. But I am not going to comment on this one until I do a little research with my own collection. @wvrons may recognize it right away. -

The yellow swirl is not ringing a bell for me at the moment. The video makes it hard to focus on specific traits. I'll see if there is a way to slow it down - I can't seem to catch it with the pause button.
