Sinful thoughts.

I contacted the seller to see if Pavcraz was involved anywhere in the transaction and he says no. The seller said it came in a large marble lot bought from a family selling off their elderly aunt's stuff. Said it came with Vitros inside. If the seller is who he says he is then I don't have any reason to doubt his tale. He lives in Maine, the state where Pavcraz lives, but his name actually came up in the past as someone who might help hold the line against Pavcraz. "If the seller is who he says he is" sounds really bad to say, doesn't it. I just don't take anything for granted when it comes to Pavcraz!

Wasn't sure if the dimensions matched a film can, but yeah, that's pretty much my impression. The label looks scissor cut and and I don't see how the can would have rusted around the edge of the label while leaving the label looking so fresh. Plus I never heard of such a thing from Rosenthal. I have read of a possible Rosenthal package type which I still haven't seen pix of, but it wasn't a 4" can.

Whaddaya think? Not mine. Just asking. 3 3/4" wide by 3/4" high. (click to enlarge)

mind blowing

The last one is a Peltier Rainbo. Some might call it a 7-up. You have a couple of bumblebees. (the yellow and black ones). those are popular, from Marble King. Also those are a good example of the "patch and ribbon" pattern.

He is a member of this board. ETA: The date he estimates for naming them matches the date a prominent Vitro collector told me he first remembers hearing the name.

Wow, that looks great.

Man, they did good when they hit on those bright colors. (the black ain't too shabby either)

I love the ones with transparency.

Neat. If I had that in hand I'd be checking to see if it might be a double ingot.

Why Black Panther? Is it named after the comic book character?

I guess this is the NLR type you're thinking of? (But I've seen more than one person call it a Black Panther, and this has me confused.) From a marblealan auction, posted in another thread:

Since that is indeed a Rainbo and since NLR names don't tend to generalize ....... no?

Are opals as pretty in hand as they look in pix?

Any connection to something like this? http://fineart.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=6036&Lot_No=53177

I wonder if you have partially answered the question yourself. Did they start with a clear rod for the center and wrap the ribbon around it? Fascinating marble.

Is sodium polyacrilate a mineral?

From what century?

The mod from Canada? LOL. If you're going to call someone out, at least learn their name! rofl

Looks like a conqueror to me.

oh no!!!!!!!

interesting idea

Hope you're having a blast!

One of the ads with 'red'. Maybe from 1912. Mentions six colors though says five. They tried to squeeze a lot in. (click to enlarge) Just noticed it says Dept. D where yours says Dept. B. Whatever that might mean.
