  1. Alley, Alley, Pelt on the smaller ones & no idea on the boulder IMO
  2. Alley , no double ingot
  3. "Happy Akro Friday" not a Popeye, there is no transparent clear base glass or whispy white strands running through it. Instead a highly uv. Lemonade base w/ yellow strands going through it. Many want to call these Popeyes but they simply don't qualify, there is a specific name for this type but it fails me right now I gifted it to a good marble Brother of mine overseas. This was the cleanest of this type I owned, lashes yes but barely visible, an outstanding marble, not even a dimple , good sized @ between 11/16ths & 45/64ths. Here's a Popeye, transparent clear base w/ whispy white strands running through it and 2 corking opaque colors (non uv.) Sorry I couldn't remember the specific name of the OP pic, I'm having a brain f***. Seems like I'm having alot more of them these days. Maybe you can spot the problem ?? Here's an x-ray of my bean ...

  5. "Welcome to Marble Connection Andi " Try PMing @Nantucketdink he's the local expert on anything Jabo, probably you're best bet as to the year and values, etc. You can try the search bar in the upper right hand corner or do a sweep of "Stephs study hall" ?? Wish I knew more about Jabo, someone will chime in soon enough to help ya out. Regards, Chad G.

  7. Here's a group of Pelt rainbos for comparison to #1 in the OP, the blue red and white ( & many shades thereof) are among some of the most common colors used on Rainbos. Along w/ the cut lines visible in the OP. Cutline running vertically Cutline running horizontally

  10. "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.

  12. Killer mibs David my favorite Handmades
  13. Happy "West Virginia Wednesday" I know I've posted these before, I'm still a Pelthead but Alley definitely comes in a close second.
  14. I think the one w/ a pontil is a horizontal slag VVHTF IMO Here I see a pontil This one I don't
  15. Still seeing 3 pelt Rainbo's IMO
  16. My first would be Alley for both, the one on the right for sure Alley IMO
  17. Funny thing C.G. are my initials ..... 😆
  18. There's a red one "Thanks Bill" nice mib Wish ya still had that cannonball ?? Or do ya, I can't remember ??
  19. 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.
