Yay for Thursday!

I'd like to hear a bit more about the England aspect of production

my first impression

The cutlines, pattern (Pelt did make butcracks too), the blowouts. The colors being SO washed out though is my Pelt hang up. Maybe it is Jabo? I haven't seen them all, maybe someone will recognize it

varry inteeresting. That's what the boards help me out with, seeing/learning different perspectives that wouldn't have even come into consideration before

Nice Rainbo. Some people would go nuts for that

Based on the pics I'd put it with my Pelts. although a washed out weird looking one.

Cool. Can't say I've seen one before. In case anyone else was as curious as me, 11015 US 23 South, (must enter off of Sr 762), Lockbourne, OH is the address That isn't close to me but I'd be curious what the winning bid ends up being, please report

I wouldn't polish it. Maybe a light buff or coating to clean up the playware. Of course the chips would remain but if you polished to remove the chips, most of the pattern would be gone as well. Just the way it is with this type of Lutz and the bands being so close to the surface. And it's not like you'd polish to see the action going on inside (for the same reason)

I've had them in the past...I think the prep work/recipe/skill has a lot to do with how well the plate turns out. When I was a kid, the liver always seemed like shoe leather (sorry, Mom). Then I read somewhere that the livers retain a bunch of non-desirable things nowadays.

Pretty sure this has been done. Not on a machine made scale (that seems kinda ominous), but handmades.

Some other nice Pelts as well. Are these from ebay or local?

I'd have it in with my beat-up Pelts. Some might even call it a "submarine" if the blue base is opalescent when backlit

I have more marble books than I know what to do with. Agree with the priceguides being very subjective. It's interesting to see how some of the old guides were so far off wrt value and IDs

Far East is a good choice

NHL was doing this way back Post cereal maybe? i've got a couple kicking around somewhere

Riddle me this, how did they get the metal in there? How were the beads made?

good luck!

fwiw, Alley was my first thought

So the consensus is non-rainbo?

How the feet are attached to the board might be a clue to age. Nice

Agreed. those clear ones are tough to photo, so nice pics

red looks CAC, blue looks Vacor, red & yellow wants to be a Pelt in a couple images ( I don't think it is)

Like so. People have their opinions on polishing...This marble was a solid core Leroy helped me out with (some people might call it something else) but the point is it looks way better now than it did before. Leroy had quite the knack.

some clean 6's (or 9's)
