Congrats!

Sweet Veet!
-
Yes, that's the vintage version. You can tell because of the blue being across from the green.
-
??? The ones that looked like All-Reds but don't have red are Tiger Eyes. Not sure if all the big ones had names. Aren't some from generic "shooter" packaging? (But I am out of the loop on the names collectors have come up with.)
-
Closest style name I'm coming up with is Dragonfly. Maybe an unswirled one?
-
I'm with Pelt Rainbo. And noting that big ones can get weird.
-
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.
