  1. I once had a clear cosmetics jar which glowed the eery blue with a pleasant intensity. I loved it. And I sold it. I want another!
  2. A favorite UV glow color. Phone camera made it too bright and added a bit of aqua. So blue it up in your mind! Sadly, my penlight blacklight didn't make it react. I got this photo with my big plug-in blacklight. The penlight lit up the uranium marbles in the container, but not the blue. So it's still useful for me when out rummaging, but I'll need to keep looking for one which will help me find the hidden blue glow treasures on the road.
  3. Our buy/sell section becomes visible after your 100th post.
  4. Sometimes coppery ingredients are used to make colors such as green/aqua/blue. Maybe sometimes red. When the coppery ingredients are used, chemistry shows you sometimes get actual oxblood out of it.
  5. Vintage bumblebee to me.
  6. Boris, I'd consider Master for yours also.
  7. William, yes, yours look Master. A 1950's version which were sometimes sold under the label of cat's eye when in Master packaging. They were also more famously jobbered by Alox.
  8. My first thought was Vitro. I see why Akro is in consideration., I'm on the fence though.
  9. Your Peltiers are probably from the NLR era, early 1930's. However, they could be from a little later and slide into the Rainbo era. Either way they are a Rainbo style of some sort, not a swirl. Since they have the name of Cross Through, people use that and don't worry about the NLR or Rainbo origin quite as much. Yes, there are marbles which are called cat's eyes with similar patterns but from different makers. But your Pelts predate the cat's eye era which began with cat's eye imports from Japan around 1950 give or take.
  10. Rick, is your marble here blue and white ribbons on a clear base?
  11. I think that marble of mine which was similar and which I wanted to be Alox was ID-ed as Marble King. I never understood the ID. But that's why I'm on the edge of my seat to see what yours turns out to be.
  12. My first thought was Alox. But it's busier than the Alox patches I was able to pull up pictures of.
  13. Is this a new submission? I'll guess Japanese.
  14. I'm leaning Champion on the red one. Again, many would lump it in with "game marbles". I might put it in with them myself in my marble storage. But probably not technically a game marble.
  15. Single color marbles aren't always game marbles. But, yes, one like your right one would often be lumped in with game marbles. If it's bigger than usual game marble size of 9/16", that would be worth noting.
  16. I see one color of ribbons -- blue. To me "flip flop" describes something that happens with two or more ribbon colors.
  17. It does have a fair patch and ribbon pattern. I could see it being a little older than I was first picturing,
