  1. The colored groups are attractive. I see a lot of vintage, from a range of manufactures as Chad noted. I can't say offhand that I see any that are newer. So that's good. I think the common wisdom would be to shy away from selling by color. But what you have here are common marbles so I'm not sure how much money they would make. With that in mind, it's possible that selling in colored lots is as good a plan as any. With creative presentation and good photos, they could surprise.
  2. Hello. Welcome. A few pictures now could be a help. We could at least confirm whether we're looking at Peltiers and which era of Peltiers. There are so many factors. If you don't want to spend a lot of time learning the ins and outs of marble identification, grading and selling, then I would say mix it up and don't overthink it. Take good pictures so people can judge condition for themselves. Maybe the introductory pictures you show now could also help us make suggestions about lot size. Some might be good enough that you would want to sell them individually. Some might be common enough that you would want to put them in moderate-sized groups.
  3. I got a nice tubful with mostly Pelt bananas last weekend at a rummage sale. And then I continued my attic cleaning project and all sorts or other things have happned, including getting new appliances installed today, so I haven't even had time to post about my fun much less take pictures, so I'll sneak my joy here into your thread if you don't mind!
  4. I've seen some of these Vitros stump Peltheads.
  5. Oh yes, what size? If it's big, that changes everything.
  6. Size? My first two thoughts were 1) "Jabo" 2) "yeah, I could maybe go Alley" But I'm also wondering about some less common WV swirl. I'm wanting to look up who used Vitrolite.
  7. I don't think we get notices when things are posted in the calendar. So I surely don't mind people bumping this thread. I've posted a couple both here and in the calendar. Partly to practice using the calendar, but I for one was glad to see your post here. I don't know what happened to the image I posted back in June about the Reno show. Hmmmm ....
  8. @Al Oregon, do you have these in your fantasy collection?
  9. With the different colors on the different sides, I'm comfortable with calling it a Kokomo.
  10. Pretty sure Vacor on the right. For now going with Jabo on the left.
  11. Steph

    Maybe MK

    My first thought was Akro Tricolor. The Vitro votes surprised me.
  12. The Champion answers intrigue me. However, as I was scrolling through the photos before reading any comments, I thought I was seeing a handgathered slag.

    MK? .61

    With those colors I want it to be an unusual Akro!
  14. I don't know if the Fenton cullet was still being used during the time of the contract runs. @Nantucketdink would know ....
  15. Jabo used Fenton Burmese cullet and got lavender marbles which glow nicely under blacklight, but for the Jabos that I'm thinking of there would be at least one ribbon of a different color than lavender. So other photos could definitely help.
  16. Yeah, not all at once. Maybe some individually, maybe some groups, and working something out with Alan sounds like it would be a good opportunity.
  17. If patch, wondering about Vacor Orca. If swirl, wondering about Vacor Zebra.
  18. Wait? What? A swirl? I thought I was seeing a patch. Also, I'm heading over to the Vacor page now ...
