I think it might be one of those JABOs that sometimes gets mistaken for an Alley Superman.

Are these sort of "bulk" handmades, or do you know who made them?

The These are very interesting marbles. I like the way it looks like they've been overstuffed and are "busting at the seams".

It could be a lot of fun!

No kidding, Joep. That's a great selection!

Nice mibs! It's funny how the lower right marbles in both of our groups are the same type.

Nice, Dave. I especially like the second one!

I think it's a fairly common characteristic on a variety of maker's marbles.

You are right, it's a Peltier Peerless patch with Superboy colors, but I don't think I have heard them called Superboy patches. I'm not sure why not though, it seems logical to me.

A particular manufacturer doesn't come to mind for me but it looks like it might glow under UV - does it?

Quite a few years ago I came across what appear to be some "lunchbox" marbles in Illinois. They were in a wooden box with a bunch of other "treasures" like wooden nickels and other kinds of memorabilia. They were all double ingots that were perfectly smooth and, other than being out of round, were practically flawless. So I went looking in my Peltier archives and at shows to see if I could find matching marbles. Here are some of the ingots and marbles I found. The first group is one of my favorite kinds of Rainbos . . . The big sextuple ingot I gave to Bill was also in the group. Here it is again, in case you missed it earlier . . . 🙂

Happy Peltier Tuesday! A little miscellany to start things off . . .

It's a great question. I really haven't heard much, if any, discussion about marbles produced in India. But I sure would like to learn more so I hope you get some responses. It would be great if your friend could send you pics of any interesting marbles they see so you can show them here. Maybe we can all learn something!

Interesting oddballs . . .

Thanks for setting me straight, Ron, I thought I might screw it up. So no name we for the brownish ones with purple/brown ribbons?

It's attractive and I don't think it's a JABO Classic. It might be from one of the investor runs but I'm getting a bit of a Vacor vibe - maybe an earlier one?

I have always wondered about the name on these. You can find red, orange and this brownish color base. But the only names I know of are "Wasp" (red) and "Tiger" (orange). Hopefully, someone will make sure I have those names right and maybe know a name for the brown ones.

Thanks Dave, I was pretty stoked when I found them in a big collection. The MK four colors aren't so easy to find.

I want to say "Blue Boy"?

It's always nice to come across marbles you don't often find!

I'm with Vitro too.

Pretty sure the lower left is JABO and that the others could be one of a few different company's.

It could be a relative, it's just very very unusual. We'll have to see what others think.

It reminds me of a Spotted Dick but it's not one.

Wow, that certainly is unusual. Are you sure it's glass?
