Peltier Peerless Patch or no, and is that an Ox Hair or...?
Steph replied to NeozLilBallz's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I'm all in on it being Pelt. I think the translucent base on the patches tends to be later, but still in the 1930's. -
Such a big piece to make such tiny details in the cat's eyes. Fascinating.
-
love 'em
-
You are asking the question in a perceptive manner. At least part of the red seems translucent, so that would not be oxblood. But I couldn't swear that none of the red is oxblood. Hard to say. I'm leaving the door open.

whizzer ... ha ... hope everything comes out okay
-
Oh it looks Jabo to me. Just clean and sharp.
-
What is the size on the second one?
-
I'm still going with Vacor on that first one based on colors and texture, but this view makes it look like it could be more of a folded cat's eye than a swirl.
-
I'm considering that the bottom might be vintage, but I don't know what it would be if vintage.
-
Rick was posting while I was looking at the Billes site for which Vacor style the first one would be. Maybe a Sunflower. The shades seem to not be quite matching, but the Vacor Sunflower has orange, brown and yellow in clear, which is what I _think_ I'm seeing in the first marble here.

That red and yellow is classically beautiful. I generally tag Josh when I want help with Jabo dates. @Nantucketdink

My memory has gotten so bad that

Still no sun to speak of but I won't wait any longer. Picture came out pretty well in spite of the clouds. Lutz on two. Mica on one. I uploaded a big pic, so if you click enough times on it you can get some good detail.

Photos of my inherited collection as I go
Steph replied to BENgineer's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I'm guessing that's one of a kind. Like something a workman might have done in spare time. -
With the new views, I will stick with Vitro on the lavender and Master on the other. Still just guesses though. Mossy base on the lavender and large sizes in general all leave me plenty of room for doubt.
-
Not getting a good handle on the texture of the base glass or certain elements of the structure. Tentative guesses are Vitro and Master. But with mossy looking base in the photographs of the first one, I am puzzled. I associate the lavender with Vitro but I can't place a mossy base with Vitro at the moment.

Steph replied to BENgineer's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
That's some nice ephemera to go with some nice marbles. Dennis Webb and Robert Brown are both marble luminaries. I found this thread first ... it has Brown's photograph.

Gimme your first thoughts on this group.. us newbies think...
Steph replied to Reconzero's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Some Alley Agates. A Peltier or two. A couple of cat's eyes. -
Breakfast of champions!
-
I was able to put my hands right on my Scott Patricks but the photos will require sunlight, so hopefully tomorrow.
-
The ribbon is not the type that makes me hopeful of CAC.
-
Welcome! That's a nice group of marbles to concentrate on. I hope all goes to plan with your book.
-
Something about that ribbon on the left made me looked closer to see if it could possibly be Christensen. I'm leaning Akro though.
-
I wanted to say Vitro Bullseye, but I'm not sure if Bullseyes can have the extra color on the opposite end from the bullseye part.
