    Sending out an SOS for pictures ... and a general discussion of Confederates and Gray Coats. Thanks! How much variety is there in either style of Pelt?
  2. Steph
    I wouldn't take that site for ID's. They can't tell NLR's from Rainbos and how many different combos are they calling "Confederate Gray Coats"? I'm really sure a Confederate is one style and a Gray Coat is a different style. And they don't have as much variety as all those that this person is putting under the same name. I"m gonna start a thread in the main chat area asking for pics and opinions.

    Thanks, Ron. Start building your alphabet, Joe. That's a fun game, to get a whole set of letters. I once had a nice cursive S and I didn't save it. How silly was that.

    Bump ... since I can't answer.

    Pelts?

    Steph replied to Mr Meteorite's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    Yes, Pelt. Rainbos. I don't know a nickname for them.

    Those are pretty Rainbos. They are not grey coats or graycoats or however it might be spelled. Grey coats are NLR's with opaque white bases. There is a Rainbo with a Civil War name -- the Confederate. That's not a Confederate either. Edit: pretty sure. Maybe someone can find pictures. Or maybe I can if no one else does.

    Gorgeous marbles, Ron. That's an interesting question, Dan. I think you can find swirls which are practically twins ... and companies could have distinctive traits like the shepherd's hook of a Cairo Novelty. I had a group of swirls where the ribbons looked like they formed flowers. But was there anything deliberate about it of just what happened sometimes when a stream of glass a certain width fell a certain height? Controlling it to be exact matches? I don't think so.
  8. Steph
    Those are hard. I once made a collage of all the white on practically black marbles which had come from different West Virginia swirl companies. I was trying to figure out some way that I could identify and learn differences so I could ID marbles like yours. I never figured it out. I can't do any better than just saying "West Virginia swirl".

    It's gorgeous! We might get a three week spring before summer comes burning in.

    going with Jabo. No comment on slingshot ammo

    I think probably Alley Agate. If it were bigger I could be more definite.
  12. Steph
    I think we may have been posting at the same time.
  13. Steph
    Not a Sparkler. My first thought was Akro Tri-Color Agate. But now I'm on the fence wondering if it could be a Vitro Tri-Lite.
  14. Steph
    Good chance that is an Alley Agate. Is it normal size?

    That said, there are some pretty nice oxblood pictures in this thread: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/23022-oxbloods-show-me-some-please/

    It does kinda look like oxblood. I'm just not familiar with oxblood being on that particular marble so I think it's probably red. Since it looks so much like oxblood it would be pretty hard to try to explain the difference. How you can see some white coming through underneath the red is a sign of it not being ox. Oxblood is especially opaque. Sometimes it can be tricky when it's very thin or when there's oxblood and red together. But if you can see through it to some other color below, then assume not ox.

    Very pretty. I think this is an Alley. And I think we would call it a Coral, but with that white I'm wondering if there might be a different name. Wait for the Alley guys to come by and put their two cents in.
  20. Steph
    They're Peltier Rainbos. I wouldn't call that oxblood. With those ribbon colors, if the base glass were transparent green they would be 7-Ups. With an olive or brown or gray base, they don't have a special name that I know of. They're handsome though.
  21. Steph
    Hello, Joe. Welcome. That is a Pelt Rainbo. Not NLR. I'm not aware that it generally goes by a special name. Once -- more than 10 years ago -- when I first started collecting -- I heard someone call it something like a Golden Bloodie. I can't recall hearing anyone but myself say that name since.

    I think Vacor on #1 and #2. I recognize the colors. Asian on #3. I don't recognize the colors in #4 and 5.

    Jabo Might also be nice under blacklight.

    Isn't that a great feeling, Dan? John, I remember when I got my first clue that the "damage" at the end of handmades wasn't actually damage.
