I'll start with a pretty JABO Classic . . . Some of the classics can be very nice, IMO.

@William @Tommy @Dave 13 Nice marbles last week, especially the bricks. Dave's has been played to near perfection and the turkey head on Tommy's is killer!

I'd been thinking on this marble and had come to the conclusion that it almost has to be Alley, and then I saw this in a photo of one of Ron's Alley cases - check out the loops . . . Sorry it's a poor image - I snipped it from an enlarged photo of the marbles taken through glass and this one just happened to be in a bad spot. I think your marble is just one of those odd Alley types that just doesn't look all that Alley. 🙂

Cool, thanks Joe! I was thinking "Red Devil" for the lower right one?

It's a dandy marble, for sure. Is it a Burnt Orange Rebel or just a Burnt Rebel? It looks more orange than red to me.

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.

I agree! Maybe a Green Bee?

Very nice, Melissa! They're so pretty you just couldn't wait 'til Monday, huh? 🙂

FWIW, I'm not getting a CAC vibe, but it doesn't look Alley to me either so . . .? Maybe Champion?

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? 🤔
