  1. The large circular pattern is like you'd see on many hand made marbles from where it is 'worked' off the cane. At first I thought it could be wear marks from rotating in the metal claw but after closer inspection that isn't the case. They are 2 inches +
  2. I posted this one a while back, pretty sure it wasn't from a mold. There is patent info stamped on the top, my guess is 1878 (but maybe the '78' means something else). Have you seen ones like this before in your travels? Sorry for branching off topic.
  3. Cool info. Does it mention anywhere if it was a resusable mold (probably was). The larger caster balls is interesting, most of the ones I've seen can be identified as cane cut or not from a mold.
  4. May not have anything (or much) to do with Peltier but the pattern can arguably be compared as similar to some Pelts. Mind you that doesn't make it a Pelt, especially when the color variations and cutlines are accounted for. The red in post #7 is nice too
  5. Nice haul, the red/orange yellows especially eye appealing.
  6. Eye-catching pattern. Agree that the 'twist' is seen on a lot more Pelt multi-color swirls- maybe something to do with the volume produced? Or the conditions (temperature, way they traveled on the rollers) ?
  7. How many cups do you really get out of a bag? The logo change on the second bag needs to be paid for somehow
  8. 'Turkey Prime Rib' sounds good:). Hope you all enjoy a happy Thanksgiving
  9. Nice hauls everyone. Chuck, what do you make of the handmade ribbon core from the jar, the one with the pink?
  10. One of these days I plan to take some new pics and crop but for now this is it
  11. This is probably the one in question, I don't know if you need facebook to access it or not https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152029770774083&set=vb.312471262132518&type=2&theater
  12. Probably isn't the only big marble to go through that treatment. Some kids couldn't help themselves trying to see what was inside. Who wouldn't want an example like this to save themselves the trouble? As a side note, I've heard plenty of sulphides ended up the same way, trying to break loose the toy animal/figure inside (which looked metal but obviously wasn't)
  13. On the left meddle (see what I did there? ) the cast even shows where the 'suspension' was part of the new mold. 12 o'clock
  14. Interesting that those ended up in an Akro box. My guess would be non-Akro marbles.
  15. Agreed, but if you picture it as part of the fold it might not 'seam' so unusual (see what I did there?)
  16. Awesome pattern, bold colors, condition looks great from the pics. I can see why somebody would want this for their collection to fill an empty Pelt spot and they had a lot of $$. Plus there looks to be a bit of transparency so it might look even cooler when backlit
  17. Not enough detail in the posted pics to make it out, but if it's a marble could it be from the 'Eye of Providence' run?
  18. I'd agree with onionskin-type, before an opaque white or yellow was used on the onionskins we all know and love Nice reverse twist. It would span quite a few categories
  19. Nice pic (did they close the bridge after this 'hold on to your marbles' incident?)
  20. Although it wasn't mentioned in the original post, there could be a significant range...depending on if you mean replacement value for insurance purposes, or what could be reasonably expected if you were to re-sell (and if so, through what channels: eBay, private auction, fixed price, etc.) I'll agree with the earlier comments though, nice marbles. Can't say I've seen that combo in a vintage Latt before
