It's a big one.
-
I had not looked at the PAM book in years. The only Heaton names mentioned are: Dragon's Blood, Robins Egg, Green Snake, Fawn Swirl, Dad's Fancy, and Johnny Reb. But there probably aren't a lot of people who could put these names together with the corresponding marbles. I do believe Robin's Egg has stuck though.
-
I should have said that . . . Unfortunately, the quality of the many marble photos is not very good.
-
That's a nice group. It's always fun to try and fill a space - a box, a jar, whatever.
-
I think quite a few were named in Popular American Marbles.
-
It's an oddball, but if I saw either of those polar patches alone without the ribbons, I would say Pelt, for sure.
-
Yes, a photo or two would be great. "Playday" is not a mesh I am familiar with but I have seen Ravenswood marbles packaged in "Playtime" mesh bags.
-
Nice Akros! I don't collect them but I have a few.
-
As far as "are they Pelt or not"? I even wonder about these . . . I know some people say they are Pelts but . . .?
-
Like you, Chad, the black ones I have seen I was not convinced were Pelt. I have had a few that really had me thinking about the possibility though. I would have to see one that has no vanes (or very close to no vanes) to be convinced, and the one's I have seen have don't fit that description.
-
I'm always looking for the weird ones.
-
This one ^^ is great!
-
But I like fat Peltiers too! These are all big ones.
-
I have always enjoyed looking at cats - and those are a couple of nice ones. My favorites are the old Vitros that are stuffed to the gills.
-
That's what I'm talking about, Bill! Did you forget you had them or something? The Jolly Roger fits the thread perfectly - HTF 2 color corkscrews - great orange peel on that one. The other ones ain't bad either. How big are they again?
-
A big Jolly Roger?
-
These are Asian marbles. Some might call them Imperials. You can find aventurine on these types. Your best bet is to get them in direct sunlight and look for a glittery sparkle.
-
Thanks for showing the Akro ware! These are my favorites.
-
Show us those big ones, Bill!
-
This is really cool, nice work. Thanks for posting it! ". . . some valued as high as $10." That's about $185 today.
-
Nice blue on orange there, Bill! How big is it?
-
I like the orange on that 3rd one, Bill. Here's a weird one - thin oxblood ribbons, with one thick one that runs pole-to-pole right through the center of the marble.
-
Oxblood under blue - a blueblood, I think?
-
Hey Bill! I'd guess CAC (1st) or Alley (2nd) on the first one. The other three look like Heatons to me, but . . .?
-
I am not seeing CAC. It looks more Master to me.
