@ just under 7/8ths with furnace brick all over in it and no av. a htf Alley but not a green giant for the lack of any av. Guess you have to be sure it's av and not just excess colorant or oven brick, can get a little sticky but the parameters are there to qualify or disqualify it as being one i.e. "size & the presence of actual av." Also the OP looks more Blue than green ?? maybe a Blue Giant if av is present and the size requirement is met. The "Blue Giant" is much more rare than the Green Giant is, either way a very HTF mib ...

I have Vacor serpents that are the exact same color as a Pelt & visa versa so "don't" go by color alone, Her are 2 Peltier NLR Supermen with the classic ribbon and seam pattern. Pelts can also come w/ a swirling pattern (yin-yang) so time & experience are your best friends. (L to R) 5/8ths & just a hair short of 11/16ths. Excluding size difference these 2 are nearly twins w/ only a few slight differences in the ribbon structure.

I see 5 marbles with # 4 being Akro, the only one that isn't a Pelt.

Regarding the so called flint marbles
Chad G. replied to Chris Parson's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Check out the backspin and English they put on those mibs, "Thumbs of steel" True "Destroyers" -
A great number of these have transparent clear marbles in them (i.e., not sulphides), it's far less frequent to run into a fully intact set like this It appears these rolled as they were moved, accounting for the heavy wear on the mibs. Not positive these were for a piano stool ?? A great number were 3 legged, though I did see on w/ four. At any rate a nice set "@ least to me" out of the norm just something different to look @ LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/165430807566?hash=item268471cc0e%3Ag%3ACb0AAOSwdVxiVgmv&mkevt=1&mkcid=

I think this one may be an Alley William ?? Can't be for sure on the other two without clear shots of the seams ??

I heard "Pelt feather slag" long before I knew them as "onyx" Here's a so called Rooster tail (by the way Rick, your pix are lookin great !!)

The Chicken wire is actually what it was made w/ it really surprised me !! The thing is almost indestructible, I bet I could run it over w/ ,my truck and it would still function. I love it, takes me back to playing "Skee-Ball" at the fair when I was a kid "winner, winner, every one's a winner" with the smell of popcorn and beer sausages wafting through the air, sweeet memories !!
