x3, 100% NLR Pelt Cub Scout, yes the greenish looking tint is just overlap not mixing or blending.

I'm in for Jabo also

x2, all the guineas look like contemporary torch marbles $5.00 each, if that, you're on it Melissa

Yes, DMF I believe ?

x2, Agree w/ Steph, I seen this one on Ebay also, Champion or Master, I'd say Champion, there is rumor the swirly type like this one might be Alley but as yet just a rumor & no provenance. It is vintage and not Jabo. The $9.99 bid on it now is about the limit of what I'd give for it, but to each their own. Chuck S. (cheese) and I were trying to nail down the manufacturer since the present ID is only an educated guess. He has a couple like this one, I have one like this and a darker one that's half av patch and the other half a very dark green base glass.

The base glass is so dark it's very hard to get the av to show but half the mib is solid av, I suspect this one may be Master but who knows Either way Melissa's OP is a very beautiful marble

Some dug Heaton Robins Eggs for this "Slags & Swirls Saturday"

I don't think this one's a pelt, there's only one seam, If it is Pelt I've never seen one like it. Look @ the ends, like David said all the ribbons wrap clear around the marble, not Pelt IMO, I'm not sure what it is ??

Only WV swirl books I know of, there are probably some listed here sand there in other ID books but no speciality books like these. Steven Bahrs vids are probably the best all around resource there is.

CAC IMO :: Classic "S" or backwards "S" showing on one end

x2, Rainbo's

Douglas Ferguson, it's an old one, called an alien egg. He still makes similar marbles but not sure if he makes any exactly like that one ??

I have a three way tie, two were acquired and one was a gift, can't make up my mind, the tiger I gifted to a good marble Brother so no longer mine but still a favorite.

Newer machine made, wish I could help ya out on manufacturer

Two of my very best Joseph Coats for this "Thüringen Thursday" the first is my most colorful and the other w/ the most av. content, both are right around 25/32nds, maybe a hair over ?

Master IMO

Agree, all Jabo classics

x2, Jabo classic

x2

Not quite sure what to say, my condolences to his Family and the many friends he had.

I think all the fruit cocktail's (salad) and similar pelts have a transparent clear base, I can't really tell if the base is trans or opaque in those pix ?? I looked again and what looks like a black appears to have some clear in it ?? I wish there were some individual pix w/ multiple views for a more concise ID ??

Agree w/ Steph, Akro Onyx

If you were thinking of Alley Carnivals, yes, Black, red, and green are the same colors but I don't think those are carnivals or Alley, they are nice marbles and whoever outbid you I bet was banking on Carnivals not pistachios.

I noticed that box yesterday while I was looking @ CW = https://www.collectorsweekly.com/art-glass/marbles/auctions have it saved to my watchlist to see the final, I've noticed a lot of Akro boxes for sale recently, let us know if ya win Art "Good Luck" Here's the link to another I look @ daily to see if anything new comes up, ebay sales but a little quicker and more complete ; LINK :: https://picclick.com/Toys-Hobbies/Marbles/?q=marbles

Definitely Contemporary, not seeing Bulgarian w/ the large grind mark, not sure who made it ??
