Chad G.

You're Welcome, trying to throw in at least a little knowledge in w/ my pics, I hope ??

These aren't mine, but a couple shots of some harder to find orangeade patches An old picture I know & already posted but pertinent to this post. A group of ades w 2 cherry ades a limeade, a lemonade and a rarely seen white patch ade. Guess the top (R) cherry some would consider a vaseline base instead of an ade base. Still uv reactive, if not more so w/ a slightly different color glow.

Hmm ?? maybe as Steph said a couple more shots of the second mib, I'm not seeing anything that points to a Vacor for me, something's a little off for a Rooster ?? Maybe if you would, a couple more of the red one, maybe one w/ a touch of backlighting ??

I vacuum seal & bubble wrap all my marble shipments & tape the exterior of the box, you could throw the box out of a car doing 60 and the marbles would still be untouched. The least you can expect from the postal service is a 10 foot drop from one conveyor to the other. Long ago in the early 2000's I shipped some pretty valuable mibs that got damaged, I paid for them and took as a lesson learned. I always treat things I'm mailing as if they were coming to me, so sometimes a bit of overkill but better safe than sorry. It only takes a few minutes to package them so no damage occurs or can occur, unless a semi runs them over !! I'm so glad they reimbursed you Chris, honesty has prevailed. I'm sure the seller will be more attentive next time something glass goes out, I would hope ??

Beauties !!

Some banded carnelians and at least 1 dyed, the center white banded agate is exactly .50" a "pee-wee" for size comparison. Some have facets and some don't !! So some modern machine ground and some handmade, but all are authentic stone agates.

"Happy akro Friday" Cherry Ade Patch Blueberry ade Patch Lemonade patch (center)

Thanks for sharing William.

Some more bigger sized Hand Mades, not quite at the 2" mark but still oversize. I can't for the life of me figure out what they used these for, if anything ?? I guess we'll never know.

Nice score !!

What a battle beast !!!

"Happy Thüringen Thursday" I'm still not sure what they used these big daddies' for but it certainly wasn't play, mantle pieces maybe ?? With all 4 marbles having the earlier type construction characteristics of faceted pontils on one end and on the other a melted pigtail one things for sure they did little else but look at these monstrosities for 150 years or better !!

All good William, I took a special hankering toward this one !!

Sweeet memories, thanks for the pix Bill !!

Nice sore man !!

Mornin Bill ... .... nice buncha swirls Brother !!

Nice one Chris 😸 !!

Some More Beautiful Dug Heaton Robin Eggs

Oh boy !! I just looked at a couple Jabo Rams Head earlier for sale on Ebay too !! I'll still say pelt as to the construction and colors

Very nice variety, great bunch of mibs, I see a lot of US makers and a few foreign as well !! Like em all !!

Hello All, Didn't mean to get under anyone's skin w/ my statement's. I realize now I probably got a little carried away there so I'm giving a "public apology" to all I offended in any way by anything I said. Nothing was directed at any one person, just how I feel about thieves and less than honorable individuals in general. Understatement of the century I guess !! We already have a thread for such matters & things associated with them. The "Board of inquiry - Squabble zone" forum, not only for disputes between board members but also if you have had a bad sales experience w/ a less than honorable person. I was taken to the bank shortly after Ebay started years ago by a thief, and evidently I'll never forget it. I have nothing but the utmost respect for everyone here on this board and again I do apologize if anyone was offended, it was not intended in any way. I'm pretty easy going but certain things really get my dander up. Regards, Chad

Looks like a Peltier Rams head pattern to me ?? I don't see an MCS, MCR or a Ying-Yang pattern ?? I consulted a few "Pelthead" buddies and agreed that it was "probably" supposed to be a Pelt Dragon, the chevrons on the side of the Rams Head pattern are "usually" attributed to Pelt, a manufacture defect "Yes" but a highly desirable & identifiable one. Rams Head Pattern Chevrons

Correct, Peltier tracers

Agreed !! Value, a big fat "0"
