    Impersonators? That's called horsehair oxblood. The copper-based material which is used to color aqua glass sometimes gives stray oxblood.

    very interesting indeed

    I _think_ they're still in business.

    sweet pic .... Meteorites sounds fascinating.
  5. Steph
    Nice! That's a lot of color, especially on the right. I don't remember ever seeing that color combination before.

    Thanks, fellas.

    Check out this thread .... you might get a "Confederate" ID for some of your marbles. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/23646-peltier-confederates-vs-gray-goats/

    Pelts?

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

    The lime green is pretty. I don't know that I would call it a different type. I"m more of a "lumper" these days than I used to be. (Lumping marbles together.)

    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?

    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.
  15. Steph
    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.
  17. 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.
  21. Steph
    I think we may have been posting at the same time.
  22. 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.
  23. Steph
    Good chance that is an Alley Agate. Is it normal size?
  24. Steph
    That said, there are some pretty nice oxblood pictures in this thread: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/23022-oxbloods-show-me-some-please/
