  1. Cool, video worked for me. I can see the sparkle. More often than not, it's incidental in marbles and some people collect examples based on eye appeal alone (similar to examples with incidental debris, oven brick, large bubbles, "UV POP"list goes on and on.)
  2. did I miss the size for the OP? Or am I just not seeing it now? I'm wondering how it would compare in hand to these colorsl
  3. Finding any marble unexpected is a good thing (to me anyway). Marble looks like a well used Peltier Rainbo. Production sizes ranged frim under 1/2" to about an inch, so this is at the larger end of the scale, but fairly common. Probably around 70 years old and made in the good ol' USA.
  4. Is white a lifesaver flavor? Pineapple? I always associated lifesaver with red green and yellow.
  5. Some would call it a Mist. It's nice. Not very common (I'm trying to remember if I've got one). If a true peewee even better.
  6. Is it not a shooter Cosmic Rainbow?
  7. Pelt Rainbo. Attractive colors and pattern for a Rainbo.
  8. It was a pamphlet from the shipping box. I doubt it had anything to do with the manufacturer of the marbles, probably just advertising for a local upcoming show (at the time).
  9. Other than red, I imagine Vaseline glass would appeal to certain collectors. Deep purple/black or shrunken cores cased in clear also.
  10. My contribution for comparison sake. Of note: plastic round board instead of wooden. As far as where the marbles were made? Hard to say. Much like swirls and catseyes were made in the USA by multiple companies, it's entirely possible there was more than one Euro manufacturer cranking out (somewhat generic) wirepulls as well.
  11. What's the size by the way? Looks like it's bigger, probably over an inch but less than 1-1/4" is my guess.
  12. That blue slag has a tight '9', nice example. I'm thinking MFC
  13. Multi colored Latt. Approx 11/16" faceted pontil.
  14. Anyhow, I dug mine out for a photo op if it helps the discussion. Examples of interest: -a tinted blue base with yellow ribbons -what appears to be a green+blue+white combo Hard to get to the glass detail thru the rough texture of the mesh, any pointers? (Other than opening)
  15. out of all of them? Maybe the white and green one.
  16. So the packaged marbles below are Hopf? I obtained some packages from Germany years ago and the sellers History didn't match what we knew (at the time) about them being Dutch from Veiligglas.
  17. This came to mind when I saw the OP But some important questions about the OP marble, did I miss the size? And it does kinda look like Oxblood?
  18. The top middle I consider to be 'Imperial'. They all have varying degrees of translucency. Or maybe now I'm confusing Imperial with Ringer. arg.
  19. ^agree. And in this thread I learned about the newer look-alikes.
  20. I'm terrible with these but Carnelian was the first name that came to me (now I need to go search).
  21. It's authentic, not contemporary. Leroy did some work on it (I know, I know) but it is an eye-catcher for sure.
  22. Nice example. A little sparse on the green compared to most
