I guess it's true . . . "every squirrel finds a nut".

I think this is what I used to know as a Hermaphrodite (from Old Rare Marbles) but I could be wrong. I think the name has fallen out of favor though and I have no idea what they call them now. ORM refers to this one as a "Rare Dragonfly-Girl Scout-Cub Scout Marble King Hybrid"
-
I think the original Hermaphrodites would have a patch of blue or green too. This may be a newer version though.

Peltier Peerless Patch rarity
Ric replied to rockgardenplants's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I think those on a transparent bubbly UV reactive base are fairly HTF but I'm not much of a Pelt guy so . . . ? -
I think it might be a very nice albeit unusual TriLite - the colors look Vitro to me.
-
Here's a sign from CDOT. It does seem counterintuitive but the evidence says it is safer and it improves traffic flow. It seems to be the new trend in construction zones. https://www.codot.gov/travel/zippermerge "In a Zipper Merge, please be respectful of those who wait to merge until just before the lane ends; they are doing it correctly."

@William Nice ones, I'm digging the 5th one - I like that "golden yellow" base color. It's different and not so easy to find in my experience.
-
You can tell they're not Master Glass production, that's for sure. George S. believes the box is from the mid 1930s.
-
When I see marbles that are spun like this one, I keep them, regardless. They're just cool.
-
Wow, I just saw this post after singling the marble out in your Peltier Tuesday Tuesday post. It's even better than I first thought - stellar example!
-
In Michigan last summer, there was a big public service campaign to get people to stop merging into the open lane before the construction barrier. It turns out that it is much safer and more efficient to use both lanes and then "zipper merge" once you reach the barrier, especially when traffic is heavy and backed-up.
-
You make a good point - the thought crossed my mind too. I'm just not really seeing oxblood. If it is oxblood, it probably is a Milky.
-
It's a nice Alley Agate, IMO. Nice size!
-
@William Glad you like it - it's different, for sure. Here are just a few Rainbos - the horsehair is kinda cool.
-
Nice Bloodies, Art. Do you have a box of them?
-
I am pretty sure this is Pelt but it's gnarly enough as made that it might be Kokomo. If I were King it would be a "Pine Needle", but I'm not, so it isn't.
-
That Pearlized Patch and the one next to it are especially nice! Wow, that's a sweet Fruit Cocktail, Dave!
-
I said it because I don't think your marbles are hand-gathered and I qualified my opinion by stating that I couldn't watch the videos. And I assumed you were looking for help. It means nothing to me if your marbles are unidentified. I am sorry that I offended you, and I promise it won't happen again.
-
I think they're nice Master marbles too - colors are too muted for Akro, IMO.
-
Nice shooter! I think it's Master too.
-
I've never seen a marble that took a video to ID. I don't think either of these is hand-gathered but then I can't watch the videos . . . I think they're just too big, and I'm tired of watching the lag-wheel spin.
-
@Joe2 @akroorka Thanks guys, I am glad you appreciate them. I was very fortunate with this find. There are quite a few nice Masters in the collection. These are 11/16" to 3/4" . . . I was really surprised to see the green UV glow coming out on some of them.
-
Just some examples of players from the box . . . They're pretty simple marbles but the colors are very nice.
-
Sure looks like a Kokomo to me Charlie - nice lipstick red!
-
Thanks Guys! Given your comments, I am thinking it probably is rare. @Fire1981 @Tommy @Alan Thank you! Maybe my luck is changing. 🤞
