i think maybe there is a certain member here posting pictures of eBay auctions still in progress, I believe you know who you are and will probably be getting a PM from another board member that's not real happy with your activities. I think a link is ok but pix ??? IDK if you see this you know who you are so post only links and please not in the I.D. section, it has a specific purpose and that's not it.

What a beauty, the symmetry is killer, I have many like that that aren't polished, they're out there you just have to look, not cheap but I guess you get what you pay for. The unpolished mint will hold their value and in most cases gain. The rarer polished will also hold their value and as said in most cases gain. The marble you have looks like the day it was made, some people just put them on their mantle a hundred years ago and there they sat, then into a box or bag (forgotten) until now, they still look freshly made, well taken care of Family heirlooms. You will find some unpolished mind blowers.

??? Newer is all I know, maybe Vacor ??

Foreign would be my guess, maybe Imperial ??

Machine made, looks like a master

X2, MFC, I don't think it's polished, all the dimples have smooth edges, just someone took good care of it and it never got played. Surface looks natural to me, you can even see a few wrinkles.

You're welcome !!

They all look as if they have some type of damage, mostly playwear hits it appears, some manufacture defects. The reason for the last pic being in a sink full of water. No doubt with that many you do have some without but a great number do. Some people don't mind damage, collect what you like Lots of same canes, looks like somebody got at least part of them from a boardgame in the past.

#1 looks Vacor for sure, the orange-peel surface I've never seen on a pelt, # 2 looks foreign also

Both Pelt MCS

No ox, Marble King

X2, seeing a slag also

Thus the confusion sets in

X2, Akro for sure

IDK, so many new ones and new runs and different names for the same run, both mine and akroorca's are probably correct. One things for sure, it's a Vacor.

Japanese IMO, after you see a few thousand you learn to differentiate one from another by the way it was made, glass quality etc...

Really dark cobalt, nice marble

Divided ribbon core

X2

Ruby Bee Liberty Christmas Tree Spiderman Bumble Bee and Zebra are all Pelt names, some borrow and use them to describe Akro's which only adds to the name confusion. Agree W Melissa, I'd stick to the manufacturer name unless you have one like the Indian Blanket which is specific to Akro, just my opinion though.

My favorite and Best EOD style Joseph Coat

still not showing

yes, corks, i think they're called snakes

X2

Not getting German here, I magged them also and they look like a newer manufacturer type to me, not sure who though
