  1. for this "Peltier Tuesday" with some Rainbo's, the last one (bottom Right) may be a foreign mushroom type ?? Interested in other opinions on this mib.
  2. No Pelt, the last 2 on the right look Jabo IMO, The one on the left I'm not sure
  3. All Pelt Rainbo's nice job on the pix too Thanks for backlighting.
  4. x2, ya slipped one in after I posted
  5. You're welcome, your OP isn't a corkscrew, or even Akro IMO, maybe Jabo ?? Not positive ?
  6. LINK :: https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/akro-agate-co/ The most common and easily recognizable Akro Agate marble is the Corkscrew. This is a variegated-stream marble whose design is unique to Akro Agate. Two or more streams of colored glass were allowed to enter through the marble-making machine’s shearing mechanism at the same time. Because the different colors were layered as they came out of the furnace and because the colors were of different densities, they created separate strata in the glass stream as it entered the shearing mechanism. Just before the shearing mechanism in the Akro machinery there was a small cup with a hole in the bottom. The glass stream entered the cup from the top and passed through the hole in the bottom into the shearing mechanism. If the cup was spinning, then a corkscrew was created. If the cup was not spinning, then a patch was created. The number of different colored spirals in the corkscrew, or the number of different color patches was determined by the number of nozzles that had glass flowing through them when the glass stream was created. Corkscrews are identifiable as being two or more spirals of color that rotate around the marble from one pole to the other, but do not intersect. Different color combinations and designs were marketed by Akro Agate under a variety of names: Prize Name (two opaque colors), Special (three or more opaque colors), Ace (one opaque color and translucent milky white), Spiral (transparent clear base with colored spiral), Onyx (transparent color base with opaque white spiral). In addition, other names have been applied by children and collectors over the years: Snake (a Spiral or Onyx where the opaque or colored glass is on the surface and just below it), Ribbon (a Spiral or Onyx where the opaque or colored glass goes almost to the center of the marble), “Ades” (types of Aces with fluorescent base glass), and Popeye (a specific type of Special commonly found in Popeye marble boxes). Two-colored white-based Prize Names are the most common corkscrew type. This is followed by two-colored color-based Prize Names, Onyx, Spirals, three-color Specials, Aces, four-color Specials, and five- color Specials. Although I have heard of six color corkscrews, I have never actually seen an example where the sixth color was not actually a blend of two of the other colors. If a true six-color Special exists, then it is extremely rare. Any corkscrew over 1” is extremely rare. You should be very aware that the color and design combinations of corkscrews is almost limitless. You could easily amass a collection of several hundred corkscrews, of which no two would be the exact same color combination or pattern.
  7. Yes a newer Vacor scorpion (2016) ID WEBSITE LINK :: https://www.billes-en-tete.com/liste_billes.php?lang=en Here's a pic of the older original type And here's the newer type you have pics of in your OP
  8. x2, both Vitro, spam away ............
  9. Time to plant garlic from what I understand you can plant it anytime. I never had to plant it. The "clumps" I had growing around my garden had been there for years, I never did harvest all of it (to much) so it seeded itself. Many of the "cloves" had regressed into singles like an onion and lost allot of their "pep" in the process. I learned to like the more mellow flavor they produced.
  10. This one is smoothened in av and has an opaque white base while the Bloody mary is a tracer "type" on a semi translucent base. It reminds me of a red zebra but that's just me. Sorry James no trying to "hijack" your post
  11. Well, @ least we have the NLR part, there are about 10 or so unnamed NLR's I'm aware of, here's a picture of a one off Killer NLR w/ av that I saved from some time ago that still has no name. Just to nstate, there are a lot of unnamed Pelts as in any manufacturer. I guess the person who sold this one "could" have named it but as a collector I never have bought one just because of the name, though some people do, all perspective I guess.
  12. I know this isn't much help, I found it on the Peltier info site ?? There are a few questionable I.D.'s there, so I'll do a little more digging !! It is very similar, but ?? LINK :: https://www.peltiermarbles.info/nlrs
  13. Ooop !! I served on the USS Enterprise during my time and my Father served on the USS Waller when he was in, sorry, didn't mean to cause any confusion. I see nowe my blunder Fixin in the works
  14. All Alley to me ?? Maybe a few more views ??
  15. Agree w/ Akro Blue egg yolk ox
  16. Seeing a whacked Pelt Rainbo here, no name I know of !!
