yes, I agree, akro did make UV slags. chuck g---

hey everyone I am back, thanks to the wonderful people on this forum chuck g

Steph, i purchased many years ago from Marblealan, a "Pink Grasshopper" and he told me that is one of them at the top. A MK with with a (pink) base with green patch and ribbons. I do not have a photo of it yet. Chuck G---

Chad, i saw one in the marble museum that may have been a bit bigger and in mint shape. Chuck G---

Do me favor, take it out in the bright sunlight and check for av in it. It does come close to a regular "Pine Needle" (but) the green looks to be lots of air bubbles instead of av. The "Frosted Pine Needle" consist of the whole green base all av with white opaque internal ribbons, just to clarify this for you. Chuck G---

Another (WONKY) pelt from their machine, which company, that is the question. Chuck G---

I agree, more of a WV swirl it seems, just does not look right. Chuck G---

Yes, a Pelt for sure. A very nice (colorful) family type. I LOVE these examples that show a slight peach/pink color. Chuck G---

YES, a definite PPP from Peltier. I have found over the years that some of these almost (cork), as the rollers seem to be running a tad faster than normal. Peltier did have a few that are as some say (WONKY), in patterns. Chuck G---

Another example of a "Red Zebra" ( on the flaming side). Always look at it in the sunshine, as i found one the other day with (av) in it. Chuck G---

Fire, this is a very nice example, (not in the Woody family type) though. Kinda throw it in between two family types, half "Woody" and half "Red Zebra". I LOVE these two colored ribbon types, very interesting marbles. Chuck G---

Going with a "Woody" variant in the (family type). Chuck G---

I may go with an ("Anemic (lookalike) oxblood) just my opinion. Chuck G---

I agree, some may say (flaming) because of the red/yellow mixing of colors. Chuck G---

I agree, a six ribbon Pelt, with (wonky) shear cuts. Chuck G---

The "Cross-Throughs" are (earlier) than the "Sunsets". Chuck G---

Jeremy, it just doe snot look right to me. If you have the smaller version 5/8ths, the (larger) one will look real close to that. I found one that will almost go an inch, Alley all the way. Chuck G---

Gladys, may i put a few thoughts into this subject. From (past) history, my very good friend Gino Biffany gave the marble world this term, because he had worked with wiring he considered (tracer) type wiring in his younger days. This is a (generalized) term handed down because of the (white) opaque thinner line that accompanied another color. This being said, i do (think) that not ONLY Peltier had this (tracer) type configuration also maybe in other makers. I like to think of it as more in Peltier more than others though, in (honor) of Gino. YES, i have found more in Peltier that there are other family types that could or may lie in this category. The base glass in these are in the translucent color more than others, you will find. I have found that finding a (tracer) type in clear is another subject to tackle or even an opaque base color. Keeping this like Gino had mentioned makes it much easier for the NEW collector. Chuck G---

Here is what i am aware of, from all the years being well into Peltier marbles. We ALL learn many many things as we stay into this hobby. As Ron mentioned about our great friends from the past, Guy Gregg and Gino Biffany. Here is what i have learned, some may take this what ever they may. I know one day all this will be brought to light. I have a copy of the (first) machine that Peltier had when they started. I think you can find this vie the web. They produced (hand gathered) marbles when they started. The slags and "Primas" mentioned is correct as well as some game marbles possibly the "Canaries" also. Then came the regular slags which are very difficult to tell unless you have an original box. Then came the "featherd slags". It is very hard to tell the hand gathered and the regular slags from others. There is ONE other hand gathered that many do not know about and NOT MANY were produced from all i have learned. The real early starting years of Peltier is VERY interesting and so much more to learn. Chuck G---

Fire, i (think) i will go Peltier first then maybe MK. Look at your (pole ends) and if they are opposite colors it is Peltier. One i need in hand to be sure. With photos it is sometimes hard to id them. Chuck G---

Been playing in my shop again, winter months good for creating things. I made this for our pastor at church, he loves buffalo nickles. This took awhile and thought of him when i made it, he has no clue that he will get this, cant wait to see the surprise on his face. Chuck G---

LOVE the stone, been into indian artifacts since i was a little boy. They made some awesome artifacts and (marbles) also. I really like the odd imperfect stone with flaws especially agates. Chuck G---

Gonna add to this subject. I had acquired my example many years ago and here is my take on this but , yes, i could be wrong. The base is a lighter color green with yellow and white swirls on it. This is typical of an (EARLY) (two) colored Peltier MCS. These are VHTF. Chuck G---

Gonna, go with an (early) OLD internal "Cris-Cross/Cross Thru" Peltier, could be wrong though. Chuck G---

I have a (match) to this example. see what others have to say, very curious. Chuck G---
