Peltier Glass Toy Marbles Update
metalshelf replied to machinemades's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Hi Sami: A pleasure to have finally met you at the Buckeye Show in February. Received my Pelt Book earlier this week. Absolutely fantastic. Top quality production. Exceeded my expectations. Bob ( Canada ) -
A Couple Of Micas, But What Colour Are Ther?
metalshelf replied to Mattshaw1953's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
The larger one appears to be Amber and the smaller one amethyst. I have a Mica currently listed for sale on eBay #181982533889 and I have described the color as either Pink or Amethyst. It is much lighter than yours and it has a pinkish tinge. Some might say it is Pink with either an amethyst or lavender tinge. I believe most Pink Micas are actually a very light amethyst. I have never seen a Mica that I would consider a true Pink like you would find in a Pink Opaque or Melonball marble, but, that doesn't mean that they don't exist. The difference between Pink and Light Amethyst with a Pink Tinge would be in the eyes of the beholder. Nonetheless, amethyst in a Mica marble is an uncommon color and a nice find. -

Thanks everyone for your help. Akro it is.

Looks like an onionskin to me, but, could be wrong. This is another Mist marble that I have with Mica.

Hi: Is this an Akro Agate or Christensen Agate Yellow Slag ? It fluoresces green under a UV light. Bob.

This is a large 1 7/16" Banded Mist Marble that I posted on this site a little while back. Hopefully this will help with identification of mattshaw1953s marble.

Hi and thanks. I'm onclined toward German as well. Have a great day, Bob.

Couple additional pictures. These are all quite well made and have either a translucent colored base glass. I do have some that are opaque glass as well. Thanks again, Bob.

Here are the pictures of the opposite seams for the 2 marbles that I am unsure of. Thanks again, Bob.
-
I'm quite certain these are Chinese Single Pontil Hand-Made Marbles, however, I do not know when these type would have been made. Any ideas ? Thanks and have a great weekend, Bob.

Hi: I'm quite certain the one on the left is a German Striped Transparent, however, not 100% certain for the other 2. Appreciate your help with positive identification. Can only post one of these pictures at a time. All 3 are 2 seam marbles. Will follow up with picture of opposite seams. Thanks and have a great weekend, Bob.

Hi: Thanks for the info. Are there any particular traits that I should look for to tell the difference between the Hillbilly Magic Run and the Indian Summer Run, i.e. aventurine, lutz, certain colors ????? Much appreciated, Bob.
