Is that an oxblood Jabo second up from the bottom in the middle pic?

Here you've got your Popeyes on the bottom. Then move over and up and get your NLRs. In the middle on the left, it looks like you have an NLR next to a Rainbo. Moving up to the 2nd from the top, you have three Rainbos. Then on the top row. ... hmmm ... Two rainbos. Next are two ones swirly read and blue ones which I can't place -- interesting ones. Then three which might be Rainbos but a single ribbon on either side is unusual for a Rainbo.

I don't think slag on the top left. Not sure on the peach on on the 2nd row. On the third row, I'm not sure about the 2nd from the left. Skipping to the 5th row, the aqua based one is a Peltier Rainbo. Possibly early (like maybe NLR times). Not slag though. Next row (2nd from bottom) ... not sure about the 2nd from the left. Ditto on the 2nd from left on the bottom row.

You have your cases. Yay. This one is almost all Peltier. The first two marbles in the left on the top row are Vitro. [Edit: you knew that, didn't you.] If they have a transparent face, which the blue one at least does appear to have, then they're helmets. The black patches on top all have fire? (So they're all Peltier Acme Realers?) Since we're thinking about aventurine in that other thread, check the black patches for sparkle or shimmer. I do not see enough shimmer in mine under indoor light to call it aventurine, but sometimes you luck out and get it on Realers.

Not seeing aventurine. Sometimes people describe tiny hits as "sparkles". It's a generous thing to call them ... but it's descriptive.

Me too now ... when I don't stare at it too hard. It starts to change somehow when I get too close.

In the top pic, are those CAC guineas on left and right, contemp on top and bottom? How much of the middle pic is something other than CAC?

Thanks, Craig. Mike, a bunch of 'em are from my mystery person, including the brown with red. And the bruiser. And the pearlized. I left out some which I weren't sure were Pelt ... may be asking about those later. But I left in one I wasn't sure about it. Big John gave it to me awhile back. The black and white on on the top left edge. That's aventurine, but it looks like it was supposed to be a traditional ribbon rather than a patch. On the other side is a clear area which looks like a missing ribbon.

Ooops, they were unruly and I missed the color on one. Red patch hiding on the one on the right.

Checked my most reliable Vitro contacts. Can't find anyone who has seen one before. Treasure.

Some of those have GOT to be American.

I could break it off into a Champion versus Veiligglas discussion thread. I didn't doubt your ID coz I know you have your sources in the U.S. I was just amazed by how close they were. Say the word and I'll split these into a new thread.

Ooooh oooh ooooh ... is that Barberton?

In January? Way to beat the rush! That's a nice assortment.

It seems nice enough to have a name ... but we didn't think it would have one since it's a Rainbo. At least it looks like a Rainbo. If it has a name I'll have to pass that along to the guy who gave it to me. He'll be glad to learn it. He had a few awhile back so he may still have them. But I need to confirm first. ... so that's a name for a Rainbo not an NLR? Or you think I might have an NLR here?

I know I'm gonna love this thread.

I have some new ones to gather together and photograph. But I do love this unusual rainbo.

Well, while I was looking for some bananas I ran across this interesting yellow rainbo. Looks a little custardy here. There's a little more shiny, yellow effect in hand.

Good way to say it (Or inside on the vanes if it's a cats eye) Sometimes is looks more crystalline or flaky. Sometimes it's a shimmery sheen. Black and green are the most common colors to find it in but it could happen in blue and I've seen sparkle in red and white which I called aventurine though I don't know if others would. Did you have any green cat's eyes other than the Pelts ... you could check those under a good light and maybe get an *oooooh*. Or check the black on your Pelt NLR's.

The bubbly one? No. Here's some aventurine: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/19091-post-your-aventurine/

The Vacor Old Fashions would NOT be easy to sort out of a WV lot.

Looks old. No idea whose though.

Oooh ... she had to pick some tricky ones.
