Hmmm ... the lightened up version looks a bit neon ... so maybe Akro Limeade oxbloods

Jabo oxbloods

I just happen to have one ready so here goes.

No sweat bro--I do my blurrys in a bunch. I have to do a bunch more after this one so good luck!

Marble--On!!

Peltier Second Run?

Does look like Jabo.

On my screen most of the red looks transparent and thus wouldn't be oxblood.    But there are some thin ribbons which could maybe be contenders for oxblood.

Not saying no to Vitro.

But also thinking Jabo.

First thought Vitro.  But Marble King had some odd vane shapes/counts in their modern cats.   If six or more distinct vanes, I'll go with Vitro.

What does it look like under blacklight?  Some of the MK's had a faint blue glow in the base under UV.

Been meaning to upload this entire set of Aug 1957 Marble King card-back Berry Pink sales promotional set but been too busy.

Disclaimer: I did  and do not own the actual set. It was sold on Ebay auction 10 or so years ago, like cheap: $50, highest bidder. I had begun an informational discussion regarding it with the seller however she /we did not conclude it on time. We'd talked but she did not get back to me until auction sold. It was her brother's and she was very grateful for the information I gave her and regrated that, had she known, she would not have sold this. Or in the very least, not in an open auction without a reserve. 

Regardless, out of gratitude she sent me copies of the set. For that, I claim these photos as my own, a gift from owner, to do as I please. I retain her emails as evidential fact. Otherwise, I would not take privilege of sharing so freely. 

With that said: Yes Steph, you may add it to archives or what/wherever inside The Marble Connection's data base for public viewing. 

Note: Front are photos of their marbles and reverse are the sides showing prices.

Enjoy the show:

  so nice


And I really needed an inspiration to get me posting again in the history forum.

MK?

Ribbons a bit oddly positioned but I'm going to go with Peltier Rainbo on that

Is it any kind of Pelt?

Alley looks good to me.

Only the one blue patch?  To me that wouldn't qualify as "mushroom".   I don't really have a guess for the country of origin though.  

Would be good to actually type the numbers at the beginning of the relevant photos.  I got a bit dizzy trying to make figure out which number picture I was on. 

 I'm thinking you have this one as a one-incher.  Is that correct?

Could be a Japanese marble.  I'm getting "Wales" possibilities.  

Peltier on the bottom.  Classic Pelt flip-flop in the ribbons

I'm leaning Vitro.  

My second and third choice would be Akro and Marble King though not necessarily in that order. 

In this view, the colors are reminiscent of the Berry Pink.  

slag

Oh the polished ones are pretty.

I think it is much older than Jabo. It has a lot of wear abuse and dirt for A Jabo.  Take a look at it with a loupe. I would say Heaton Agate. 

The wear I'm seeing looks like the standard soft Jabo hits.  

I thought this color combo and general pattern  presented a decision between Pelt and Jabo.  Interesting if there's a similar Heaton to be considered.  

Congrats on the very cool addition

agree with Jabo

nice

can't exactly remember seeing  that before  but wondering if that's what was missing from some posts after the Great Photobucket Purge.

saved!

The presence of both amber and maroon is interesting but I'm _guessing_ it was part of a slag run and the two separate colors were unintentional. 

I'm leaning toward slag.  

Electric should have a neon-looking thing going.  Not aware of this dark color being associated with "electric".  

That may be the first time I've seen a so-called Phantom Conqueror being said to not be a real Conqueror.

I'm not going to adopt that interpretation.  IMHO they are all Conquerors.  

Phantom Conqueror is a sexy sounding name, but I don't use it.   I don't know how many strings are needed how they need to be distributed to earn the name "Phantom".  

I stick with Conqueror for all of them.
