"Gutta Percha Marbles" Thought it was time to post something on these since most probably don't know about them and if they do they really don't know what they're made of. I have never had one but have seen some in hand and can appreciate the beauty of them.

Happy "West Virginia Wednesday" I know I've posted these before, I'm still a Pelthead but Alley definitely comes in a close second.

I think the one w/ a pontil is a horizontal slag VVHTF IMO Here I see a pontil This one I don't

Still seeing 3 pelt Rainbo's IMO

My first would be Alley for both, the one on the right for sure Alley IMO

All 3 Peltier Rainbo's IMO

Funny thing C.G. are my initials ..... 😆

There's a red one "Thanks Bill" nice mib Wish ya still had that cannonball ?? Or do ya, I can't remember ??

Pix of a few different Pelt Zebras for this "Peltier Tuesday" Blue Av. Some would call this a Miller type (not me) x heavy av on this one, silver & blue And what is called a Bronze Zebra, thick coffee colored av. w/ a hint of blue and green in it. Plain Jane, blackish ribbons sprinkled w/ a moderate quantity of av. This one has the coffee colored ribbons w/ bronze, blue & silver av. but also a good helping of some chunky green. One of my better photographic exploits. In other words it took me a while &* many many retakes Green Zebra There is also a red zebra & one w/ black ribbons and absolutely no av.

Thanks Ron, I think it was my Grandfather that had several frames he used old chains on. This one I purchased sometime ago but the initial idea came from Gramps, born in 1914 & living during & through the great depression he threw away nothing. I inherited his old house, the sheds were packed w/ old straightened out nails, screws, board parts, you name it, everything was recycled or reused. My father was the same way as am I, we live in such a disposable society now they manufacture stuff to only last a few years @ best i.e. " disposable junk"

Can you find a pontil ??

Noo Nooo Noooooo .........

The big brown one is a German Bennington (glazed clay) The others could have been sold as marbles but more than likely are just ball bearings. Most vintage steel marbles are hollow and have an x where they were crimped together, though some solid ball bearings were sold and packaged as marbles. Here's a link from right here on MC I posted a couple years ago : LINK : https://marbleconnection.com/topic/26739-steelies/ Vintage steelies @Steph has a bunch of pix of vintage steelies of both types somewhere ?? Here's one from Blocks past auctions, I've seen them all the way from just below 5/8ths to just over an inch.

The plot thickens ..A great marble anyway ya look @ it .. .. If that's bottom feeder food I wanna be at the front of the train

These aren't Pistachios (no uv reaction) but still some of my favorite Alley swirls
