Happy summer camp memories

Come play over here awhile: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/20922-peltier-specials/

adding! (lovely)

More photos showing the cutlines and ribbon structure might still be helpful. That kinda looks like oxblood to me which pushes me away from Peltier. Of course you didn't say oxblood, Nancy, so maybe I'm reaching. Still I've been trying to count ribbons and so far don't see enough.

Thanks, flyball. I'm gonna move it from the study hall out into the main forum for a while and ask folks to add names of new artists who may have hit the scene in the last four years. *moved* Edna, you reading?

Sounds good to me

Men of a certain age

I watch Survivor too, but I don't feel as guilty about that!

I think the Alley name is also a collector name. Right, Bill?

There is also a Pelt rainbo called an Inky by collectors.

Champagne delight!

I'd go with "eggyolk" on the blue one. Maybe more than average white in with it. Still looks like what collectors call "Ace". Not Ade. The smaller three may not be moss agate family. The two yellow patches look like they could turn out to be Peltier. And the yellow and green could be something else like a tri-color agate instead of a moss.

And an ordinary, worn cat eye in there for good measure. And a strange brown ball with flat spots and dots?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/161739004342 LOTS of interesting pictures there. I can't pick just one. Check out some of the wear, and the marble half.

vintage container of marbles = old tin with new marbles

Not a fan of softballs, eh? The only blanket answer I can give is "experience". Given any two marbles from different makers I might be able to usefully describe their differences in a way which could translate to other IDs. But no set of rules from scratch. And nothing near comprehensive. So many exceptions to any rule.

That was some serious time-tripping ....

Censored sky? Kinda hard to believe. Would scientists really keep quiet about something like that if it were real?

It's an addiction.

At that size? No idea. Did Vacor do yummy, silky solids?
