Marble King Rainbow Red. 1960 give or take

Rainbo? same patch on each side with juxtaposed colors
Steph replied to mccracken's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Peltier. I think a Multicolor Rainbo with underrepresented white. (edit: well there is white inside, in addition to the strands on the surface ) -
pretty! Condition looks good overall too.
-
I'm considering Japanese transitional and Christensen Agate Company. Sheer numbers would point to Japanese, but it would be cool if it turned out to be a CAC American Agate.

*squints through blinding light* how about Akro?
-
squeeee ❤️
-
I think foreign. But I don't recognize who could have made it.
-
I'm not seeing any as slags, fwiw. That looks like a distinct and wispy ribbon to me on the top right.
-
It's in our interest to help sellers make responsible marble IDs. I don't consider Chocomibs a lost cause. I can let bygones be bygones. So it is disappointing that he's still pretending he's someone else and not yet resolving to post and sell in good faith in the future.

Looks like oxblood to me. So are we looking at Akro, or do we need to consider an Alley oxblood or ?? I've _heard_ of Alley oxbloods, but I'm not sure how to ID them.
-
Gotta be Peltier. I'm going with accidental hybrid, or other acciddent where the color went off somehow since the gray isn't a standard Pelt color.
-
Yeah.
-
Don't know. I could still see it being Pelt. But I just don't know. Vitro, Akro and modern have all crossed my mind. For the Pelt question, I'm trying to see a second green ribbon on the opposite side from the first obvious one. Do you see any hint of a green ribbon on that other side?
-
LOL ... I'd value it at more than a dollar. It's a _nice_ 1930's Vitro Tri-Lite. Can't be sure of condition but looks to be at least NM+ and it sure displays well. Too bad the seller is someone who overreaches and doesn't play it straight.

-
left yes. Right ?

🤔

The blue is a Vacor Neptune. Modern. The red does look older. A West Virginia swirl. My guess for which WV manufacturer would include Alley, Heaton and Cairo Novelty.
-
Fun!! And welcome to Marble Connection.
-
You have to remember that this is Chocomibs, the guy with the gazillion dollar "cobra guinea". Help him for as long as it is entertaining to you. He's not going to let our cautious ID discussions get in the way of his auction descriptions.
-
Agree with Vitro. Tri-Lite. However, not Buttermilk.
-
Alley x 3
-
What size is it? Is it bigger than "game marble" size? I'm guessing it is, or else you wouldn't feel a need to ask what it is. Looks like a very basic marble made by some West Virginia swirl maker.
-
Good to know.

A similar idea which someone else had success with: coat it with polymer floor wax.
