  1. Revisiting this one I see molten pin pricks which I attribute to vintage glass. I’m on the Alley boat with I’llhavethat1🔥 RAR
  2. Gotta love and want one of these Shooters🔥 RAR
  3. Doink. I see the WVS now🔥 RAR
  4. Fire1981

    Yasuda ?

    Second time around I totally agree with Chad G. Pic 3 tricked me🔥 RAR
  5. I’m not familiar with the spider ID name but it is a wire pull🔥 RAR
  6. Fire1981

    Yasuda ?

    I don’t think that’s a common transitional. The transparent base glass sets this one a part from the opaque ones. Definitely back light this one. I like the crudeness of it🔥 RAR
  7. Buzz Buzz. I’d snatch it as is🔥🔥🔥 RAR
  8. Here it is in a test tube🔥 RAR
  9. Here’s 1 of 5 of my Circle Series. It’s called Pelt’s Galaxy. It’s 4x5 foot. There’s suspended pulverized rainbow hematite in glazes. There’s layers of it suspended in glaze in all the black areas. I used a salt shaker to shake it onto wet glaze. Once it dried I’d start a new layer. It’s really hard to get good pictures of the black areas. The mica looking specks reflect light like AV. It’s always a hallucination🔥🔥🔥 RAR
  10. Here’s a common NLR MCR with straight seams 🔥 RAR
  11. Here’s a more active example of what that looks like on a different Rainbo. The blue/red and white all get pulled and get pushes into where they started from. It rotated 90 degrees and that’s when that seam twisted. So.NLR’s trait is the 3 ribbons on each side of the seams. So…NLR is 6 ribbons. Tweeners 4 and Rainbos have 2. 🔥 RAR
  12. There’s 4 ribbons instead of a Rainbo with 2 ribbon Rainbo. It’s not an NLR either. Hope that makes sense🔥 RAR
  13. I see the Pelt now. The Flip Flop is there. Pic 5 is what I’m basing my second on opinion on. Pic 5. The Flip Flop is on the right where the seams meet. On the left one the rollers pulled the red over the seams and pushed the green ribbon down towards the other seam. I now think it’s a Tweener 🔥 RAR
  14. Outstanding 🔥🔥🔥 RAR
  15. At this point I think it’s a Jabo Classic🔥 RAR
  16. It’s definitely a fine line when it comes to polishing or buffing. I was able to win cheap handmade marbles in the early EBay days. I had about 12 or so polished. One of the reasons was to see and learn the core types. These were in such bad shape a glass of water would hardly help. I’ll post pics. I think someone did just post some examples in Sundays Best. Hand mades can with stand an aggressive polishing. However. Machine mades are the opposite. A light buff is the best. A polished machine made can be ruined in a matter of minutes. The OP was just on the edge of this happening. If it went any further the seam in pic 1 would have been lost and the light feathering at the end of the ribbons would have been lost🔥 RAR
  17. I’m glad you went into more detail. 🔥 RAR
  18. If you zoom in on the molten pin pricks you can see the sharp edge of the prick🔥 RAR
  19. It’s a polished Dragon. Someone wanted to save it. Outstanding pattern 🔥 RAR
  20. It is a Cool Cat. If it didn’t have the green I would have said Vitro Horseshoe Cat🔥 RAR
  21. I just thought I’d throw this out there Tweeners are the marbles that were made when Peltier transitioned from NLR’s to Rainbos. It’s just a gap in the production time line. I’ll post some pics later. The stuff I have here is from a Tweener pit at the old factory site🔥 RAR
  22. Parm got it. Here’s an example of a BR RW. 🔥 RAR
  23. The transparent brown has me at Alley. It’s a really nice example with a few flame tips. 🔥 RAR
