I agree, and would add that they are still for sale.
-
I am sure there are folks that collect Vacor toe-breakers - some of them are pretty cool. If this one were mine, I'd keep it.
-
Nice find Craig. I have not seen a box like it either.
-
It looks like a blended Marble King Rainbow Red to me.
-
That's right, Steph - no colored base glass here. This is just a clear-based Conqueror with the surface patch and body colors reversed. I've seen thousands of Conquerors and I have not noticed any with reversed patch and body colors before. Though it seems our Vitro friend has, and that's good to know.
-
Bill, I know the type - I would have remembered that one!
-
Apparently, I pay way too much attention to Conquerors. lol
-
Thanks for the thoughts, Galen. I agree the glass is really nice. They're a little undersized too - probably another reason I should have stuck with my gut.
-
I like this type . . .
-
Conquerors are very common vintage marbles but how common are conquerors with a white patch and a colored body? Does anyone have examples?
-
The white on mine isn't showing very well but it's there. Here is a green and orange for Ed. How about blue, yellow and white.
-
I thought European at first too. What about them says "not Master" to you?
-
There might be some other colors in here too. Black and blue next.
-
Quite a few years ago I found this group of marbles in a collection I purchased. There are colors close to oxblood and metallic copper with AV in some. This one was in there to. It has a more of a cat eye structure with lots of bubbles and AV I think they are Master.
-
I think the one I posted is like the marble upper left in Patry's pic (RW/WB). Although, mine has all the color on the surface - thanks Al!
-
-
Bill, You never showed me this marble.
-
Can anyone show me what a more typical version of this Pelt would look like? Is this just a clear rainbo with all 4 ribbons on the surface? I think I have seen a "normal" RW/WB one before.
-
I have thought about it, Sami, maybe a clear-based 2W1R/1B2W-ribbon pattern with bleeding red and one white ribbon on each side spreading out to cover the surface - I might be able to see it. What are you thinking?
-
. . . is not like the others.
-
I'll second that.
-
I agree with your assessment of their construction. Beyond the fact that they have spots (a pretty simple theme), I would guess they are unrelated - unless in both cases they came in sets with different numbers of spots on them or something, and were used for a similar purpose.
-
I know, weird, right? What you see is what you get with this one. I'm probably showing 95% of the marble - there just aren't many clues - a trans base with almost all of the color on the surface. But the blue looks odd for Vitro, at least to me, on this marble, with the red, I guess, maybe . . .???
-
There are a lot of nice horse-hairs up there. Al's blue one is especially nice. I like the hair in transparent glass the best though. (Hey ya' Bill!) This specimen has a rudimentary heart.
