Neato! Thanks Rick!

Might open the conversation up if you asked about blue-green based pelts in general, then draw your own conclusions about the green end of the range.

I woulda thought that there were "plenty" of rainbos in that general area. But narrowing it down to a specific shade? I couldn't try it. Not enough rainbos. And not enough comfort with specific shade names.

If you see any you would like individual pics of let me know !

Do ya have to ask? !!

Don't mean you should exhaust yourself. Even small group pix would be cool. Close-ups or semi-close-ups of Ravenswoods with provenance - always welcome!

Even the common ones. Those don't get much air time and we don't often realize how many companies made a basic type.

Here's the picture from peltiermarbles.com, might help the discussion.

won't try to find top and bottom on those! lol

Awesome mibs, Scott.

Buyer beware

However, I still can't supersize the pics for some reason. I just get a white box with a whirly-gig loading symbol that peters out after a few seconds.

Possible workaround: can you right click and open in a new window?

Here's one which was presented in a thread about horseshoes.

Good deal! Thanks for solving the mystery and hunting out those pix.

LOL. Had to look hard for the boy under the dog!

Fun pix. :-)

Any indication as to size?

I quoted the whole commment. Perty much all they said was it looked like a Pelt . . . and it came with some other comics.

edit: oops, I didn't see yours when I posted yesterday Dan. Mystery was already solved then and I didn't know it. Thanks.

Did you see this pic David?

so soon?

Someone might get a bargain out of this.

hotdog! Hope Jack sees this post!

He has some little cross-thrus we struggled with, since we didn't have proof that any that small came from Japan.

Sweet box!

I might have seen small opaque ones. I think Road Dog mighta had one or more small ones. I'm trying to remember whether his were clear or solid.

Anyone notice this comment at Marbleforum.org?

On the Pelt Comics page, someone asked about a Jiggs comic marble.

I recently acquired on a local auction, a marble which appears to be a Peltier with a comic figure of Jiggs. It was among four other Peltier marbles with the standard characters: Ko Ko, Andy Gump, Skeezix, and Moon. Does anyone know anything about this Jiggs marble?

Jiggs was an old strip character.

Is Jiggs on the Marble King repros?

Just saying.

The Stanley-Lapics are major Jabo fans.

Jabos are the marbles used in the local school tournaments in their area. According to Debra, the kids love the colors.

Debra and Whitney's tourney shooters are/include real agates but the marbles featured in the recent articles and interviews about their trip to England were Jabos.

Bumping with a new pic of my particular Rosenthal peewees. (And near peewees.)

I have two sets now. Green patches and blue patches. The green is most or all transparent. The blue is most or all opaque. This scan does not show the blue shade at all well. In hand the blue is much darker and richer than it is coming across on my monitor. And the white is too bright on my monitor.

But some other details come out fairly well in the scan, so here it is.

There are some Ravenswood bags for sale in the Buy-Sell-Trade forum. Did you see them? Rick found a cache of them. But they're not that common in general, if I understand correctly.

LOL. You tricked me. I still didn't know which question you were asking.

I didn't say there were a lot of Christensen marbles turned out. Simply that companies regularly sold their marbles in boxes.

There would be a lot of reasons for Chrissie marble boxes not to survive after the Depression, a lot of factors making the box rare and pricey in present day.

oooooo, I have a blood viper. coooool.

To the best of my understanding, that's how Akro (and others) sold them on a regular baais. I think that's how they shipped them to retailers.

Sometimes it would be a counter box, and kids would choose individual marbles from it.

Sometimes dealers would advertise the whole box for sale.

So, here's my Jabo Cobra which David was trying to post. David, the pic at Yuku has a weird extension, pjpg, instead of jpg. So this board don't like it.

I kinda like the Viper name.

So is cyclone the same as cobra?

Are the names interchangeable?

Or is one a subcategory of the other?
