    These look a lot like them: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/371687775475708971/?l=t

    I could see that too. One of them has a large as made thumbnail-shaped dent, not a common site on my other Vitros. Only other foreigns I saw or recognized in this big lot were a few Imperials.

    Thanks. I'm fairly clueless about Kokomo but this red was the brightest I'd ever seen on a Rainbo, so I shared it on FB and somebody immediately suggested Koko. It's quite pretty but given my lack of other identified Koko's, and for the sake of convienence, I'm keeping it with my "made on a Rainbo machine" group.

    ...bright cherry lipstick red. Way down in Kokomo?

    For the record: this style was named the Vitro Blue Eyed Susan back in March 2018 by the Stephmeister

    And the bottoms up

    I found some more so here's more photos.

    My gut says this is a Tiger Eye. Maybe Joe accidentally dropped the wrong cullet into a tank that day. I'm calling it's Joe's Folly.

    FB said maybe "newer MK" ?

    They've definitely got lines and while the blue isn't consistently solid, it's definitely trying to be solid.

    Found several of these in a lot. Look like Tiger Eyes missing a 3rd color. What would you call them?

    Wet mint

    Haha! You got me. I was thinking you were going to photograph marbles near a mint plant.

    Somewhere I swear I have a photo of a box of peewee CAC guineas, or did that I dream that?

    Yup, that's it, although my chocolate has more avocado. I am sure there's a simple explanation but it is now lost to time unless somebody who worked there kept a very detailed daily diary.

    There's no way the Peltier manager said, "Let's take expensive blue and black aventurine and make a few barrels of marbles using that rotten toad green that Joe concocted. Kid's will love these!" Edit: OK, maybe he said that, but I doubt he worked there for much longer.

    I found this oddball in a huge jug of marbles. At first I thought it was a Rainbo, then an MCS. Then when I brought it into the sunlight, the black AND blue ribbons sparkle with aventurine (unmistakably). It looks about 0.62" and that base color indeed does look like two-day old guacamole.

    Strange to not accept returns but I suppose it makes sense at those prices, for the risk of buyer's remorse increases.

    Wet mint

    Thanks. Would love to find a wet mint pile of these!

    Found this 5/8" guy among a truly vintage lot, then tossed him into my wounded warriors pile due to damage. But I actually never identified him. Thoughts?

    That first one is my new marble sorting song!
  23. bumblebee
    Those flames are sizzling. Wear asbestos gloves!
  24. bumblebee
    And to dovetail that, did those makers all make 1" vaseline slags? I've never seen anything above a 7/8" vaseline but then again I only recently found a 1" slag in another color.

    It's not Peltier according to several on another forum. Probably Alley swirl.
