Haha, Yeah, having one marble with two different names is bad enough. But having two different marbles with the same is another thing altogether, unless the two can be distinguished using a company name, like Akro, Alley, or Peltier Superman, for instance - I can live with that.
-
Yeah, but at least they're not calling Rebels, Mustard & Relishes now too. lol.
-
I don't know a lot about German hand-mades, but even I know that marble is outstanding!
-
IMO, if folks want to name marbles, that's fine - it facilitates discussion. But I don't like it when the definition associated with a name changes. It's like I just figure out what a dog is and realize a few years later that cats are now called dogs too.

Not a Confederate, Bruce. It needs a gray base with orange/red and white ribbons.
-
Nice marble - looks familiar . . .
-
These are some of my favorites. I probably should have cleaned them up a little. 🙂
-
Nice Alleys, Gladys!
-
I've always thought this was a good marble . . .
-
Nice marbles, Dave. Great blue on the second one!
-
-
This is a nice uncommon Master, William!
-
Nice mibs, Chad. I think sometimes marbles from every manufacturer hit or got hung up on the the rolls just right and wound up with a bit of extra "spin" to them. They are random swirls, which means there are marbles on both ends of the spectrum with regards to swirly-ness, coverage, etc. At least this is my take on it.
-
The reason I ask is because if the base has to be opaque Confederates are rare and if it doesn't they're common, and I always thought Confederates were rare.
-
The vane looks much thinner than I would expect to see on a Banana but it might just be the photos.
-
It looks like a Ravenswood to me, Art, but it looks like the base would be on the weaker end of the spectrum for a Green Raven - sorta pinkish on my monitor. The base glass on the best ones would be a darker brown. The only other option might be a Heaton, but I don't think that's what we're looking at here.
-
But doesn't the base of a Confederate have to be opaque?
-
The only marbles in the tray that are over 1/2" are in the bottom corners.
-
I didn't know they were named either, Art. And I have not seen one bigger - but then, I don't pay alot of attention to Pelts.
-
Cool, thanks Chad, must just me. lol
-
Really, I didn't even know yellow based Rainbos existed. Are they common? I'd love to see more examples.
-
Thanks for this, Al. I didn't realize they did iridescent marbles at Parkersburg.
-
Very nice marbles, and excellent photos, as usual, Gladys!
-
The base is a little weaker color than I would normally expect, but yeah, I can see it.
-
Nice marble - getting close to a Copperhead, IMO.
