Nice marble, for sure.

They look like they could be Peltier to me. They did a pretty distinctive bright peach/reddish-orange color - sort of hard to describe - and I think I may see it.

Going On The Bay Tonight! Check This Out!!

Sheesh . . . That's a sweet one! -
FWIW, One thing I've noticed about Pelt Crystals is that many are highly reflective - more so than other makers, I think - especially red, yellow, orange and green ones. You could make a great sign out of them.

Wirepulls Vs Swirls - Is There A Fine Line Here?
Ric replied to Speed Racer's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I pretty much agree with Steph. When the Euros and Americans become more similar looking, I think you can most often distinguish them based on ribbon structure and colors, or known examples. I like the last one you posted. I seems like some other views might look even more Alley to me. -
Oooohhh . . . chocolate!
-
I like these examples I got from Scott at the Buckeye show.
-
Nice selection . . . I am especially keen on the green one!
-
I agree with Steph. What size is it?
-
I've been perusing that book, again, for the last few weeks - it's great.
-
If you won them, I'd love to see some better pics of that M-marble at some point. I've been growing more fond of the Colonial period stuff lately.

I have to recant my earlier statement, I hadn't looked in my box for several years and it does NOT have any of the gray and orange ones like these. It has a different gray and orange/brown type, which is a little odd, in it. It also has a few that look a bit more St. Mary-ish, which makes me wonder if it may have been back-filled. I'll try to post a pic later.

Hey Ron, Good to see you here. Another interesting thing, there are several of the orange and grays in the Sure Shot box I have too. Are there any in yours?
-
I have not, but I sure would like to. I'm betting it's rare.
-
I prepared and ate many a meal with one of these crazy things when I was a kid. It was actually kinda tricky. Eventually I got one of those detachable knife/fork/spoon combos, which was much more convenient.
-
Pennsboro, with very little doubt. Examples of most (maybe all) in the box have been dug there.
-
Has he responded?

Here are a few of my favorite Vitros.
-
Site feedback indicates they are at the Village Centre, Huguenot Road, Franschhoek, South Africa.

Jumpin' Jimminy, that is a monster. I've carried a more typical one in my car for about 25 years and it has come in handy on many occasions.
-
Thanks Bob. I should have recognized Nadine's work. Was someone at the flea market selling a variety of her marbles or was it just a random find? I surely would have grabbed it too. GP, check your PM - I tried to give you an idea of what I might consider a decent WV swirl.
-
It is a good story. Your most recent cane marbles, which I saw at Canton, are really nice. At some point, I'll have to post a pic of the one I just couldn't leave there.
-
Sweet opaques - nice find. You didn't do to badly either, Bob. Can you provide any info on ceramics like the one you're showing? I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I found all of these (actually more) in one group - nothing too earth shattering. And although I like them quite a bit, I'd trade them for a decent WV swirl in a heartbeat.
-
It doesn't sound that way to me at all.
-
I'm thinking there may be a difference in rarity.
