  1. This one has the Jabo-like fold but I see some vintage possibilities. Maybe Vitro or dug Akro. (but not getting rid of Jabo as a possibility)
  2. The rippling orange peel texture and what I can see of the white glass both make this look like a Vacor.
  3. The orange and yellow swirl could be Alley or Champion. The colors on the next marble down look a little Akro-y and I see a hint of a long seam which could point that way, but the swirl is a bit wild, so I don't know. The green and red marble has a fold which would make some think Jabo, but occasionally other makers end up with that fold also. What sizes are the marbles? That's important. Also, a better resolution which would show us the texture of the surface could help with ID's.
  4. Brad, it really is a brilliant idea, isn't it. I didn't think it up. And with that, on day 13 once again I am blown away. To all my santas and secret santas, thank you again for making this happen.
  5. There are old marbles with white figures inside which can look a little silvery because of the air trapped around them (I think). The modern name for that old style of marble is "sulfide". And there are modern marbles made with figures inside. I have very little experience with either of them. I don't know of any that look as silver as yours does.
  6. Day 12 Both of the vitis backlight sweetly. One day I shall show you. For now I must fly.

    Pt. 2

    Sometimes I can take the easy ones on handmades. I do not know what this would be called. I just gotta say I like it.
  8. Day 11 A blue eggyolk and a yellow jacket. I'll have to show the eggyolk on another day. This morning I had to show the beautiful blue spiral galaxy arm.
  9. I figured it was the lighting, together with the large size of the images. My guess was that it was amplifying shade differences.
  10. Good morning! Gonna be a beautiful day. Not only am I going out in that, I'm going to be riding my bicycle. lol The sun isn't out yet for the backlit view of the opal.
  11. Well, in the pictures there's a little different look about the green one but I can't place it. Does it have clear uncolored baseglass?
  12. It's an NLR (older Peltier) and it appears to have aventurine. Those both add value to Peltiers. The Zebra is not rare. And I don't know the condition of yours. Any dings can cut value by half or more. On ebay I'm seeing Zebras sold for a dollar or two or three ... or for 20 or 30 or 40. I can't say what the difference is. Could be size. Could be condition. Could be what the seller's initial price was. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=peltier+zebra&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1
  13. Day 9 Since I just got back from the dentist, here is today's tune. all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth

    These too

    So, I still don't know who all did peach in slag or in swirl. I guess I was just processing thought out loud too.

    That's a really good attitude, but I had something else in mind. I was thinking about CAC transparent swirls ... swirls being different from slags. And CAC being famous for slags but also having some swirls. When I see transparent swirls I usually call them West Virginia swirls, because that's what the odds say. @mibstified posted some a long long time ago .... lots of colors here, including peach ... these didn't actually come from the dirt in front of his eyes but they came with a lot of other CACs and so ... well, have a look https://marbleconnection.com/topic/7815-cac-trans-swirls
  16. Day 8 ... shiny bells? The corkiest cork I've ever seen in person

    ... "peach slag" is what folks keep hoping for ... but CAC does have some transparent swirls also ... which I wouldn't want to ID unless I knew they came out of CAC dirt.
  18. On my monitor, the green (or blue) on the upper left one was looking to be a deep and transparent section which was why I was thinking of Vitro Tri-Lite. If it's a shallow surface ribbon then Akro would be in the mix for me also.
  19. I'll play it safe with "corkscrew". I expect that Akro meant it as part of the two-color Prizename run.
