These types are almost impossible to ID with any certainty - many companies made similar. For most people it would be a 100% guess - there is just not much to base an ID on.

Look at the last pic. The order of colors is reversed above and below the seam - R/B above and B/R below - the same is true at the other seam.

Notice how the two color ribbons are flipped on either side of the seam - B&R vs R&B - it's a common Peltier trait.

Then it's not an Opal - maybe an odd Tiger Eye type. If it was "normal", I would expect to see a different color patch on top.

That is a Peltier Rainbo.

I'd have them with my Alleys. It helps quite a bit if you show the ends of any ribbons - I don't see any on the right one.

Might be a bit too strong of back lighting. What you're looking for is sort of an orange-ish glow.

They look like Akro Moss Agates to me.

The three on the right are Vitro Conquerors - without more views of the left one it would be too much of a guess for me.

Pretty tough to get a good look at it with all the surface wear. What size is it?

It looks Akro to me.

It's a Vitro - maybe an Opal. Does it show an opalescent glow with not too strong backlighting?

Those are great, Rick. I'd fish with them - they make me wish I would have saved the ones I tied when I was kid.

.That's a great collage, Chad - a nice group of classic Akros and excellent photos too!

Okay, now imagine taking six different colored balls . . . lol You might wind up with something like this 1-1/8" (minus the little nub) sextuple ingot - just so you know that things can get a bit more complicated. 🙂 The volume calculations work out near perfectly for this forming from 6 x 5/8" marbles, and you can actually count the globs too if you're careful.

Very nice! That second one is really sweet - springtime colors all over it.

Very cool, thanks for sharing the info.

Yes.

I agree about the pics - no more distracting reflections! In a double ingot, you will usually be able to see a continuous false "seam" all the way around the circumference of the marble - it's actually the interface between the two globs of glass (marbles) that came together to form it. Imagine how you could take two different colored balls of clay, push them together and round them into a larger ball - you should be able to follow that interface between the two colors all the way around that large ball. Also, if yours is a double ingot it would have been made from two considerably smaller marbles.

You might find this interesting . . .

That is a fake I would love to own!

I don't think the base color matters. The striping colors are spot on, IMO, and I'm sure they put the same designs on different base glass. - check out the guinea imitations on amber and clear, for instance. The bottom line is that I don't think it's a Pelt. But then I have never had a marble like it in hand and I have never seen a similar colored MCSs on an amber base so it might be wise to just ignore me. 🙂

I just want to clarify, Ron. Not all of the white Cairo used glowed, right? Didn't they use Pond's jars too?

Given recent developments, I do too.

It looks like an old Alley to me - maybe Sistersville.
