What a "Master" collection

Just when you think you've got everything straightened out & in order time to .... & & .... .... & .... & .... & .... & .... & then .... Uh, Oh !! here they come Aaaagh !!

The good thing about Rainbos. "Endless" I'll try & whip up a bunch of Rainbo pix for next Tuesday. Here are a few old pix, some are rehash that's why I have to take a new bunch.

Yes, correct, Red Bee= no av. Ruby Bee = av. in the red ribbons, most of the time in Ruby Bee's the av. is slight or very fine so a close look w/ the loupe aught a wrap it up. Man what a borderline case, I'd say MK for sure if it weren't for a slight lazy "S" seam in the first pic. Still it does appear to have a patch and ribbon like MK, especially the second pic ?? I'm a might on the fence on this example !!

I think it's pelt Brad, is the other seam on the K & M straight or wavy ??

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Glad you're here. Lots of knowledge & knowledgeable people here more than willing to share what they know & help ya out. Yes as William said much easier to I.D. your marbles if ya post 2 or 3 at a time, with multiple & as close as of a view as you can get & still maintain focus, if possible a measurement in fractions & if not mm is ok !! As said "Again Welcome" -Chad

Yes Bruce, both Pelt Rainbos

"Happy Peltier Tuesday" A little early tonight, figured I'd get er rollin for any late nighters. Here's a Pelt Bronze Zebra w/ bronze, silver & green av. Not heavy ribbons but the entire surface of the mib is covered in av. Sometimes taking a close look really pays of, I was missing some really beautiful aventurine until I took the loupe to this one, I have bad eyes anyway so I could barely see the av. w/ my naked eyes. I thought it was just a dirty mib at first !! I posted these a while back but we have quite a few new board members so I thought it was maybe worth a second look ?? Believe it or not I took these w/ my Sony Handycam, after many retakes I finally managed to capture what I was looking at.

More than likely Alley, if not some other W.Va. swirl.

Peltier Rainbo

"Mornin Bill ..... ..... ..... Like my new & improved C19 mask ??

Ahhh !!

"Happy Marble King Monday"

Fantastic !!! Home at last !!

Is that Nessy ?? I think Patty finally captured the picture everyone's been waiting for !! Just look at the resemblance ! What a stroke of luck !!

Thanks Al !!

Another "Sharp Shooter" Header, all of them I found say out of stock, so several different headers though this one does say, online toys Australia www.onlinetoys.com.au. Which says their out of stock so "all gone" maybe a few bags floating around Ebay somewhere ?? Ah, found a bag for sale, these certainly resemble Vacor, especially the ones pictured on the header !!

Guess this was correct after all, I'll bet those were Vacor mibs they just gave them a different looking Header w/ a Cowboy & Kangaroo on it as some kinda marketing ploy to sell more in Australia ??

Hey, I think I see a woman w/ a bag of cabbage hiding behind Herbie

Yeah team !!

This is the lower (R) hand corner of the third "Sharp Shooter" header, same header as # 1, you can barely make out "Mexico" All The other images of vintage "Sharp shooter" headers say "Made In Mexico" and the newer looking ones that are for sale have no visible provenance anywhere. I got lots of replies when I googled "Where were Sharp shooter marbles manufactured, no headers like these, similar that they were round but all different colors and no "Cowboy & Kangaroo"

Well your curiosity has lead you to the right place, this is it, you'll find many, many posts on different peoples hobbies here amongst other things. Have fun !!
