    Pretty sure these are Vacor - no idea of the names . . . The smallest is 1 5/16" and the largest is 1 15/16".

    Might just be a anemic Wasp (maybe a Tiger) - I think a Tiger is more orange and a Bengal Tiger would have a distinct yellow too.

    Those are some pretty marbles - hybrids are great! The blue/violet is a different color combination, for sure, although I have never seen such gnarly seams on a Vitro Cat's Eye.

    Wow, Joe, I must have been on hiatus when you posted this - that's a great box!

    The patterns, colors and coverage from this run varies like crazy - Ed got really creative with them. I've seen variants without any green that look so Akro or Alley it's scary.

    Definitely a nice marble! And there's quite a bit of variation with Copperheads but I am not sure I've seen one with such deep ribbons or as much transparent glass - I think they are white based marbles. Here's one Clyde posted back in 2013 . . . And another Ann posted about the same time . . . And here's one Bill had . . .

    It was Ed Parson's Furnace Wash (2010) - there were a bunch with ox and green on white, and the coverage and patterns were highly variable. I think the base glass is the tell. This might be a "weak" one. This one could be for sale. 🙂

    I almost hate to say it but similar marbles were made in a JABO contract run.

    A variation on the Tiger Eye theme - green instead of purple. In my experience these might be a little harder to find than Tiger Eyes. Only the upper left one has any UV reactivity . . .

    It's still Akro Friday so here are a few "inky" ones, with a black one in the middle just for contrast . . . No oxblood under the blue on these . . .

    Thanks a lot for this! I haven't really been keeping up. 😉

    You'd probably have even better luck looking around Clarksburg, WV. 😉

    You should post that marble in the "Vitro lovers look here" thread - violet and cobalt blue sounds like a really pretty color combo!

    A lot of them were originally found in Canada but I think the belief is they originated in Japan. There has been a lot learned about the Japanese marble companies lately, primarily due to research by people like @shiroaiko, so maybe somebody else will be able to ID the maker.

    Color just doesn't look right to me and that sort of "slit" in some of the ribbons (where the base shows through) would be odd for CAC too, I think. And then there's that sort of transparent/translucent brownish-looking glass too . . .

    You do realize I'm just messing around and actually have no clue what someone who really knows Pelts and their names might call that thing, right? If it was mine, I'd call it a very nice Pelt.
  17. Ric
    I agree! Maybe a Green Bee?
  18. Ric
    Very nice, Melissa! They're so pretty you just couldn't wait 'til Monday, huh? 🙂
  19. Ric
    FWIW, I'm not getting a CAC vibe, but it doesn't look Alley to me either so . . .? Maybe Champion?
  20. Ric
    Cool marble - it's a little different, for sure. As far as the Peltier "John Deere" goes, I don't think that name is used anymore. More like a "Rotten" Lemon Lime, maybe? 🤔

    Art's got it . . . an Akro Royal Patch.

    Rick's got it . . . commonly referred to as a Vitro Hybrid (5-vane) Cat's Eye because of the multiple colors - nice marble.
  24. Ric
    Ah, there it is. Nice tin, Art, that bag looks like new!

    These may well be the most recognizable marbles on the planet . . . Sometimes you can tell which ones are UV reactive just by looking at that them and sometimes you actually need a UV source. 🙂
