Peltier Metallic Rainbo - cool marble.

I would say yes to Vacor, but it might be a newer one from Asia too.

I'm not good with Marble King names but I think to be blended it would have to have another color besides purple, but I could be wrong.

I think that would still be considered a triple cross-through, William. And yes, they are harder to find than single cross-throughs, which still have six vanes and three colors, but two vanes of the same color are next to one another, like W-B-B-W-R-R-(back to W). Yours is W-R-B-W-R-B-(back to white).

I'm pretty sure I'd get more out of that one. But Galen, I thought you once said that anything younger than you wasn't old . . . change of heart? lol

That's a nice blue oddball, Bill!

That makes a great display, Brad, - nice. I wish I still had the one I played as a kid.

And I am sure you're right. I need to slow down, the AV is obviousin that third pic and I thought I was seeing reflections.

Honestly Ron, I don't think those marbles are named. I just called it a Sunny Sky because it seemed to fit and I knew that Bill would know which one I was talking about. Apparently you did too. When a name fits, it just fits, I guess.

I got an original in a big collection I bought years ago. Every once in a while I get it out and shoot a few. I don't think I've ever gotten a marble in the 250 point hole.

It's a great story, Ron. You made me double check my Sure Shot box - no luck. lol

That Sunny Sky is one of my all time favorite marbles - what a beauty!

Bill, I remember the day you found those Carnivals like it was yesterday. And I remember the day you gave me one even better! It's the top one in your pic.

Good idea for a topic, Tommy, I'd save that one too, until I found a replacement. And there's a good story behind Chad's marble, so I'd keep that one too. And Bill, that marble looks like an asteroid or something - a keeper, for sure! I tend to keep beaters that are rare, and something I don't collect, or rare and an example of something I want to collect. Here's one of the former. It appears someone had some fun with it . . .

Akro would be my guess too, Tommy.

Me too.

I thought it looked kind of funny. Now I know why. I am with Chad on this one - a purple slag with a ton of white!

I'd guess Alley on that one, Tommy.

When Vitro goes pink, it's usually turns out looking good. And that's a great group of Cosmics, Bill. All I have are five 1"-ers. It seems a trade might be in order. 🙂

Good deal, I saw Marble King but didn't think they came that small. And since you've covered my memory more than once, I'll cover your's here - Popeye and Olive Oyl's baby was named Sweet Pea (although, my spelling may not be correct).

Thanks Ron, I am sure you remember those marbles. We talked about them a few times years ago and, at the time, we couldn't quite place them. Now, after the Heaton digs, it seems almost obvious.

I think Ron was onto something with JABO. The colors aren't familiar to me but he would know. The fold and the butt crack are very common traits on JABOs.

That is a pretty little marble, William. It reminds me most of a Vitro but I am not sure about it, and Vitros that small are very uncommon so . . . ? Sometimes I like the smaller marbles better than the big ones. They can be like little gems. I'd keep that one, for sure.

Just some interesting Conqueror types.
