  1. Before I got into marbles, I dabbled in buttons. Sold most of my interesting ones already but I saved a couple back because I wanted to learn more about them before I got rid of them.

    This one on the front left has a spherical look. Glass. With lutz and mother of pearl chips inside. The one on the front right is the other one I consider mysterious. The ones in back aren't mysterious -- I just like them.

  2. Still think you might have a Pelt 7-Up in there. :)

    The fourth one from the left ... undernearth the red and white boulder which I just labeled B .... I'm pushing for 7-Up on that. :D

    On that same row ... the row right under the boulders .... all the way the to the right ... I'm calling that a Vitro Tri-Lite ... from the 1930's.

  3. For the boulders in the middle:

    I think A is a Peltier Rainbo. I think B is some kind of Akro patch.

    Do C and F both form a corksrew? If so, C would be an Akro Prize Name. I'm not sure from the pic here (and other pix in the other thread) what Akro's name for F would have been.

    I may have to look at the other threads to get a better idea on D and E. Do they cork or they patches?

  4. Here are a couple more pix Sara sent.

    Big attachments here. This first set are the ones which have gotten the most comments already, newly sorted.

    And here are some more for extra comments. I have a larger version on my computer. I could post clips from it separately if anyone asks.

  5. That base makes me think of some marbles seen in an Imperial box. But I'm not sure if they've been seen in an Imperial box which wasn't backfilled.

    (Imperial boxes appear to have been sold with different types of marbles in them over the years.)
