I found one of the red ones Dave, still diggin !! I'll post a few pics before tomorrow "I hope"

Might be, though it's threaded and was on a lamp when I bought it ?? I have more like it "somewhere" another red clearie, a transparent clearie and an amber clearie, all exactly like this one. The base is Brass on all of them, which kinda turns me away from being an insert, but you never know what things may have been repurposed for ?? I always ask for the key but 2 of the vendor stores I go to are 3 storied, makes for a long walk every time. I'm sure I didn't ask for a key when I probably should have. Ever notice how the tags are turned upside-down on the desirable stuff ?? A clever marketing ploy on the part of the vendor ?? Most of the Owners know me though and keep an eye on what the vendors bring in.

There be a reason why you never see them in the antique shops, the only reason I got the is because I asked. The vendors goods are usually behind glass away, away from sticky fingers. An unfortunate happenstance I know !! I hate having to go back up and ask for a key every time I want to look at something.

Guess maybe this is an older finial, not sure ?? The clearie is permanently attached somehow ?? Just a point of discussion, I always look for these but they seen to grow wings as I'm sure you all have discovered. Every antique store I go to that has them they're behind the counter, unfortunate I know. I had to buy the lamp attached to this one. I do have some very similar to yours "somewhere" Maybe I shoulda left em on a lamp ?? I'll dig a little tonight.

Yes a Pelt John Deere, I know backward of the tractor which exhibits yellow on green. I didn't name it but it's been that way for so long that it stuck. Ox, an added treat for sure !! Either way a great marble w, a nice pattern Art !! A pic from the Peltier info site !! LINK : https://www.peltiermarbles.info/nlrs?lightbox=dataItem-j63s4i6y7

I agree w/ Al, I don't see any Pelt, looks like a messed up Akro "to me" Do you have a size Dave ?? The pic makes it look huge ?? By the way "Nice Score"

What a beauty !!

Killer mib William !!

An old picture of some of my favorites, I used what was a "thimble" display and rubber o rings to hold the marbles fast.

"Happy Monday" I'm hittin the hay, night you all ...

No yellow, I don't see Vacor Odin, Hmmm ... not sure ?? The first one sure looks like a "whacked" Pelt !!

Wow !! That's cool Tommy, what a great hobby, I've always wanted to do that, the creek beds and ground around here are somewhat lacking as far as the gold content goes. To do any good you have to go Northeast to the desert part of the Oregon. My uncle used to have a dredge and a dry setup like yours.

Yeah Buddy !!

What a nice clean mib, nice to find one in such nice condition !!

Hmm !! Definitely not Pelt, looks like a couple of W. Va. marbles ?? First I'd say Alley, second one I have no clue ??

Not a lemonade but it does have the highly UV reactive ade glass w, hvy oxblood corking around it. Glows w/ kind of a little weird looking slightly orangish tint. the looks of the glass remind me of being somewhere in between custard and lemonade. A keeper anyway @ .76" and a nice mint w, only one small micro asmade dimple in the oxblood. I thought it was lemonade forever until I took the time to look at it side by side with the other lemonades !!

Don't remember if I posted this or not. Another game similar to two games I already have that so remind me of rolling baseballs for a prize at the fair when I was young. Cotton candy, hot dogs, pop corn and the smell of beer sausages filled the air as my pockets were emptied ... ... Oh how I long for those long sweet hot Summer nights with my friends. The game is used and functioning of course, ya know I have to take it for the occasional spin down memory lane

"Happy Akro Friday" Some new Arrivals, not rare but nice and minty clean

Is the mib green or is it just an illusion ?? The av seems to be putting off a green sparkle ?? Not that it's going to solve anything but you never know ??

This is Amazon, I gave up on the battery ones except for when I got to shows. The last 2 pair I bought at harbor freight for $1.99 each. A personal choice, the pair of General digitals I have were $39.99 and the batteries are 3 bucks a pop, guess I'm, just a cheapskate?? Harbor Freight : Amazon, same price but 4 at once, the lettering wears off but way cheaper than the batteries :
