@ 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.

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'm from Oregon and we say Or-re-gun

x2

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 !!)

Man I sure wish I lived a couple thousand miles closer !! Nice haul Ron, Love the Alleys and the Germans, ah I always box myself in, I love em all !!

Ahh !! There you are, thanks for puttin a face to the name Brother

Oop !! Forgot a few !!

CAC to me as well

Hmm ?? I'm leaning away from Akro !!

Moo !! I think ?? Nice group of Pelts

Yeah Buddy !!

Nice

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 !!

Peltier Peerless Patch i.e. PPP

Excellent selection of games I like mine used & functioning, I can't seem to keep my hands off !!

Alley made the cup for this game so a HTF item (for me anyway) especially in one piece, the cups were thin. One more, believe it or not I found the marbles and the board separately almost 200 miles apart, I had the box for the board as well but it decided to grow wings and fly away ??

"Welcome to Marble Connection Bob" A great place to be, learn & share, many years of combined marble & marble related experience here. If anything in particular pops into your mind there is also a search bar in the upper right hand corner, again "Welcome"

Yes, I agree, Alley

Salright !!!!
