Originally $100 at an estate sale, but I picked it up for $30 on the final day (which still seems like a lot lol but I couldn't resist)

 

Wouldn’t have been able to say no to that either. Have fun

This one looks to be Kokomo.

I'll look for Martin's notes on these and see if I can find it in the archives unless someone else is after on the draw!

Thanks for your input. That’d be super cool if it was ID’d as a Kokomo. It would be a first in my collection. Either way I really like this one. It always just looked like buried oxblood to me. Glad to get everyone’s feedback on that as well.  …still so much to learn 🙄

No, Dave established DAS (Dave`s Appalachian Swirls) independently after he resigned from JABO.  JABO subsequently closed, but DAS is still making marbles.

Thanks Ann! I appreciate the info. I love DAS marbles but don’t have more then a few dozen or so. Definitely have my eye out for more in the future.

Some Jabo investor run Ultra oxbloods. 

Thanks for the examples! Those are stellar!

Am I correct in thinking DAS are Jabo contract/investor runs? I’m sure I’ve seen that info somewhere but since we’re on the topic here….😬

Thanks everyone  I need all the help I can get 🙄

I’d seen another similar on a thread on here and it got me wondering. A little rough but still a beaut’ in my eyes.

Always appreciate any insight.

Alley for the second one Emily, IMO

Awesome! Thanks Chad!

First one is absolutely a Pelt feathered slag - I have a terrible weakness for them.

The green one  is going to take some more staring at. Don`t remember seeing anything quite like it before. Fun! A new mystery mib!

 

Thanks Ann.  I was thinking it was a Pelt but needed the experts approval. Isn’t she a beauty.  I have a terrible weakness for slags in general. 
hoping maybe someone might have an idea on the second one. That one definitely’s a lil’ charmer.

Hi Emily ,I think the 1st one is a Peltier feathered slag 2nd one not sure! Thank you for sharing love that color blue♥

Thanks Gladys! I was thinking the same thing but since I’m wrong 70% of the time 🙄 I figured I should ask.

Was gonna post these on the ID thread but figured since it was today’s topic I’d throw em up here and hope for some ID input 😬.  The blue one is one of my top 10 fave marbles in my collection, despite its minor dings.

 Glad to hear you are on the mend from your pneumonia. That must’ve been a bear…I can’t imagine. Fudge and a new marble sounds like a great way to continue on your recovery. 

I appreciate you mentioning all the above threads. I can’t stop poking around here in all the great content…and apparently I’ve only chipped away at the surface. 

Thanks for all of your input on my marble ID’s. As a newbie it’s really priceless to have a resource like this with such kind and friendly folks

Not the most exciting find for the average collector. I however am crazy for game marbles. I like collecting all the different sizes and colors. Haven’t been able to get too much into the ID side of things but do know that some are “special”. The individually pictured ones were in there too. I’m pretty sure the large yellow is a Master?? And I’m super curious if there’s any game marble experts out there to give me the insight on the little brown ones (33/64). They have a super cool swirl action Hugo if on. The blue one also has some very familiar looking seams but I can’t figure it out.

Like I said, not exciting to most, but figure it doesn’t hurt to add to the score thread. Even if it’s just a score for me.

the big green and white one isn’t a game. Look familiar to anyone?

Hi here's a lovely little peewee! Just arrived in the mail today!! Akro.  Exactly one half inch.  Look at beautiful swirls and black line!  I don't know if Ravenswood made peewees... not my photo.

That’s a beaut’!  I love white swirls and slags. Now it just needs a big brother!

It's an egg for sure. 

I’ve seen prettier ones but happy to at least have one positively ID’d in my paws.

Definitely not Pelt. The Jacksons don't normally have the hooks like I see here. The ribbon looks a bit like jackson otherwise but I think maybe this is an early Alley. Mainly by pattern but also by size.

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

Most likely Alley IMO

Nice! Thanks! I really like the color and it’s secret little surprise inside 😶‍🌫️

I love when the Peewees looking like full size marbles! It's like, well, it's a miniature. Check out these beauties... Marble King peewees! They are 23/64"!

Those are delightful!  I’ve got a little cache of misc peewees somewhere….I’m dying to find them now.  If I ever get a proper display for my collection I’d love to have a section of  side by sides of regulars with their peewee matchers 

This lil bugger snuck itself into my game marble jar. Opaque outside but a clear UV base. Love how it lights up.

Totally Pelt Peewee and cute as it can be! I'm hooked on PeeWee's too!

In my world, the smaller the collectible the better. More room for more and more. I’ve got several more common pelt peewees but this one seemed unique so figured worth making sure it was one.

I love almost every kind of peewee - but especially Pelts and old Germans. And a peewee mica with a few huge chunks of mica in it is hard to beat!

Love mica marbles. My collection is lacking in those other than a gorgeous green one I spotted in a cheap lot on eBay. Bought the group just for it and when it arrived it had split in two. I suppose two halves are better than none at all 😏

Love the Shimmering Spruce!

Thanks Ann. Me too 🌲✨

Yes, always good to ask, collect what you like, you're the only you, you have to make happy     No matter the value.

That’s exactly how I collect.  Emily’s home for wayward marbles.  That’s what my marble museum would be called 😑 I see the beauty behind the rough and tough exterior. 😆

Mmm, mm, one of my all time favorites, nice marble

Congrats! Nice Alley.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve always thought it was a special egg.

1 minute ago, Chad G. said:

Yeah, another nice one, kinda hard to come by Rainbos @ 1/2" or smaller, a keeper IMO

In my world a total keeper even with the wear. But good to know a more seasoned collector thinks so as well.

Why yes it is.

A real Cutie.

Those little peewee Pelts are adorable. I could see getting hooked on them.
