Just seen this VVHTF set of Peltier "Lucky Boy" onyx (slags) for sale on Ebay from . She's in our "Reputable Sellers" forum. Just something to watch for me, I already know it's gonna be way out of reach $$. About the best shape I've ever seen one of these sets in. If ya wanna take a gander I've posted the link.

I got lazy so I borrowed the I.D. already wrote out, my fat fingers don't help matters !!

"Happy Peltier Tuesday" Probably posted this already in one form or the other, a group of (PPP) Peltier Peerless Patches from (L)to (R) in descending order to almost Pee-wee in between 1/2" and 9/16ths

I guess some would consider that inches ??

Threepete, "I" was the one in error not Art

...... I concede, Steph & Ric are right ! An "ade" base isn't an "opaque" color LINK : https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/akro-agate-co/

Nice job Chuck !! Dave 'll really like it !!

Nice William, your collection is growing "fast"

Yes !! A highly uv. reactive "special" not a Popeye but a little harder to find.

Is the one on the (L) uv. reactive ?? The one on the (R) is a "special" and has the collector name "Lifesaver" center is a regular cork. If the one on the (L) is uv. reactive, (a 99% chance the base glass is yellow) not transparent clear thus not a Popeye but a special, some will beg to differ but the base glass must be "Clear transparent" and also have the whispy white strands in order to qualify as a Popeye. If uv. still a very desirable mib. The "lifesaver" on the right is also very desirable

You're Welcome Sorry for the "repost" I had to delete my last (my bad) and repost w/ the link minus all the pix

Ah, now you officially have it Jeremy, a "Popeye" i.e. : Transparent (clear) bas w/ whispy white strands and at least two other opaque colors. Courtesy of the (MCSA) Marble collectors Society of America LINK : https://www.marblecollecting.com/marble-reference/online-marble-id-guide/akro-agate-co/ Popeye corkscrews are a three-color, four-color or five-color Special that contain a unique color spiral. This unique color is transparent clear with filaments of opaque white. The filaments can almost completely fill the transparent clear or they can be sparse. The most common colors, in addition to the clear/white, are red and yellow or green and yellow. These are followed (in order of increasing rarity) by red and green, dark blue and yellow, light purple and yellow, dark purple and yellow, powder blue and yellow, red and blue, red and orange, blue and green, black and yellow, or various hybrid colors. Hybrid Popeyes are marbles that have three or four colors along with the clear/white. It is popularly believed that these marbles occurred when the colors were changed in one of the machine hoppers. However, some of these examples are too perfectly formed to be an accident. They may have been intentionally made by using five nozzles, instead of four, to create the glass stream. There are some Popeye corkscrews that have a fourth color that is really just a blending of the two colored glass streams. These really are not hybrids. True hybrids are rare and are highly prized by collectors. Some Popeyes were produced when the spinning cup in the machine was not rotating. As a result, these marbles came out as patches. They are the same color combinations as Popeyes, but are actually two or three distinct patches of color on a clear/white base. These are called Patch Popeyes and are very rare. They have been easily confused with a type of Vitro Agate patch, and have fallen out of favor with collectors at this time. There are also several types of corkscrews that have the clear/white color combination as Popeyes, but only one other colored spiral (usually translucent red or orange) These are usually referred to as Ringers or Imperials and are not really Popeyes.

x2, agree, no Pelt

"Sunday best Pelt Rainbos" I know there's two Rainbos here but these are my best and my favorite two out of all of them.
