That's ghastly. Ghoulish even. ... and the scammer at the center of this thread is STILL selling, under his other ID. aaargh.

interesting. I had wondered what would prompt men to use the term. So that was in the 80's?

Neat drizzle. A cute pair too. I can imagine the aventurine. I'm drooling over the thought of it.

by opaques, do you mean solid colored marbles?

I figure it's him. Here's a facebook page. (Did someone here already post it?) http://www.facebook.com/mike.rearic

31 negatives this month and he is still a registered user. I don't get it. Must be easier to sell on ebay than I thought. Maybe I'll jump back in.

IS there a comprehensive list of shows somewhere? This looks like a running record of where they've been held in the recent past: http://marblemental.yuku.com/topic/371 Don't know how complete it is. I was kinda of hoping to see a Florida show and didn't. Maybe it doesn't exist anymore?

A marble friend in the UK sent this link. So far the video hasn't loaded up for me. Hopefully someone here can enjoy it. Meanwhile, I shall keep trying. It's nice to know it's there even if I can't watch it. http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=17729 Description from the site:

The house? Or all of the properties?

If you are in doubt, it would generally be best to assume Peltier. These days I often write "looks like a Pelt Rainbo" instead of just saying "Pelt Rainbo". Coz of course I can't swear that the marbles are Pelt and not Kokomo. Still, I know that unless they're one of the types well-known to be Kokos, the odds of them being Koko are very very very .... very low. That said, here's a batch at Joe's. And here's a thread which was started to showcase some Kokos which came from an original bag, and then it grew: Kokomo Examples

The Peltier Glass Company is no more?

Bump. (thought about bumping the 'creep' thread with an update. decided I'd rather bump this 'un if I really had to do any bumpin' )

Sweet batch o' mibs Gary!

ya know ... stare at the dots ... 3d images appear? ( :

LOL, Windy, too cute. do you Magic Eye? if anyone doesn't see the polar bear, they're the ones on acid.

Bump - and moving it to the main area. Feel free to post your handmades over there. There are some handmade collectors who don't think to check in the ID forum because it has mostly machinemade marbles.

lol - i wouldn't know anything about that .... a star followed by 3 dots?

On what continent do ya'll think it was made? Is it American?

Hello, Wilmena. Welcome. I'm going to move this over to the main section in the hopes that a contemporary collector might recognize the makers.

Happy Mike Day!!!!!

I still don't feel I know what a calligraphy alley is. Still feels as if the name is applied with a broad brush. (pun intended )

What Edna said. However, that said, I'd be inclined to think those could be Alleys. He did do some digging/poking around there, right?

7/8"? That's really sumthin!
