  1. I can't place it, new or old. I really need to pull out my books that would re-teach me about older ceramics.
  2. My first impressions are Jabo, Fried Marble, Vacor
  3. Saw an ad for this on facebook ... had to share Turing Tumble - Build Marble-Powered Computers (upperstory.com)
  4. If Imperial, I am going to call it a very special one with that beauiful transparent base.
  5. Alley on top Master or Vitro on bottom? Maybe? The lavender is intriguing me.
  6. Steph

    Superman

    Yeah, my choice would have been between Spider-Man and Superboy.
  7. 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!
  8. 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.
  9. Our buy/sell section becomes visible after your 100th post.
  10. 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.
  11. Vintage bumblebee to me.
  12. Boris, I'd consider Master for yours also.
  13. 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.
  14. My first thought was Vitro. I see why Akro is in consideration., I'm on the fence though.
  15. 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.
  16. Rick, is your marble here blue and white ribbons on a clear base?
