All nice Pelt Rainbo's, no tequila sunrise, no name yet I don't "think" Tommy, I call mine creamsicle. A very similar big boy I have, one of my favorites : @ 27/32nds Pelt Tequila Sunrise Pic courtesy of "AAM" by Chuck S.

"Pink" base glass is rare on a pelt as you probably know, no matter what it is. I've had (one) NLR & that's it. No name that I know of !! No name for yours either that I know of, 15 or so years ago on an obscure Peltier I.D. site they called the one I have a "Chocolate Bee" ?? I know it makes no sense to me either, I'm not the one who named it. If it were me maybe a "Strawberry milkshake" Much pinker in hand, too much bright lights in this pic. A very nice bunch of Pelts you have there Bo !!

Hello Bo, Here's a good example of a Peltier NLR Plum Citrus. Two translucent purple ribbons & 4 almost opaque yellow ribbons on a translucent white base, of course there are variants as with any marble, this is just a standard one. Maybe a few more views of the ones you suspect as citruses would help out immensely "Thank You" Nice bunch of Pelts !! Just from this one view this one looks like a Pelt NLR Christmas tree with a few burnt ribbons?? I believe you maybe have one or two Pelt Rainbos there too ?? Examples of some citruses from the pelt info site LINK : https://www.peltiermarbles.info/citrus

"Yes indeed" wish we all could have actually worked manufacturing marbles like Ron did. Right place, right time, great people, when you love what you're doing not considered work to me anymore but a pleasure, what a lucky dog !! If I didn't love the Pacific Northwest so much I might have moved a little closer to the action ??

"Welcome to Marble Connection Joe " Lots of knowledge & knowledgeable people here more than willing to give you a hand on your marble journey, have fun & again "Welcome"

Phew !! Glad you showed "Ron" a lot better at explaining manufacture errors than me "Thanks"
-
Akro ?? No provenance anywhere, dug or on paper, just looks like a corkscrew. If you have some provenance please share, I'm always up to learn new info.

A few pics of some machine made "manufacture defects" Eggs, pancakes, footballs, barbells, double ingots all happen between the shears & the end of the rollers. Ron explains it much better than me, I'll just post some pics. Hand mades also will always exhibit some form of a pontil !! Barbells, dug Heaton A few double ingot on either side with some footballs in the middle, more dug Heaton examples \ A bunch of footballs & pancakes, mostly Akro. All these marbles pictured were machine made & probably dug near te factory in a cull pile.

Killer !! hey you found some, I've only found about 15 pieces since January & i been lookin hard. The 3 blue octagonal are kro for sure. I have a hobnail pitcher just like yours only red & orange slag w/ swirls of white, nit sure what it is but I like it !! Not a very good pic of it, right in the middle of a pile of Akro ware, Imperial & some other stuff Best pic I can salvage right now, looks like we been mining in the same mountain !! I'm like you, I sure wish that piece of hobnail was marked ??

Houze shifter knob !! Insert just not brass in this one, I would say Akro like most but there is no provenance either on paper or dug at the Akro site to indicate Akro ever made shifters. Vidrio made a small amount of mostly translucent & a few opaque like yours. Full credit for this picture given to the " Antique fan collectors association"
-
Lookin like a Houze shifter knob !! Third pic is probably the threaded brass insert.
-
Mmm Mmm, lotsa Deeeliciouse pelts in there !! Ah well back to
-
Yeah the $$ motivated "Feebay" posting & incorrect naming of mibs is rampant, the forums & I.D. sites are the only trustworthy places left.
-
Machine made marble, sorry Danny no idea on maker !!
-
I know, believe me, hard enough to keep up let alone remember the old names & those that have been changed, shared etc... a source of contention for some, just marbles & a source for good discussion for me, here to have fun, learn & relearn & probably relearn again as provenance provides.

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
Chad G. replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I'm looking at some Tuesday for a girl who inherited them from her Grandmother, her Grandmother was 80 so maybe some good machine-made, first solid leed this year, hopefully will be good, I'm gonna swoop on anything mint, maybe everything to share with a friend who is a beginning collector. I'll post pics of whatever I get next week. "Nice score William" good luck out there today, stay safe in your journeys. -
3:10 am here & I'm not going anywhere, I'm looking at my marbles I admit I am Powerless !!

What's the most used name ?? I've seen a few similar, as with many pelt one offs and variants. seen a few close but never a name. There was one we called a tomato about 15, 20 years ago but I haven't seen one since, kinda similar to what you have. Hang on maybe I have an old pic ??Ah ! found it, well my memory isn't what it used to be. Four Reddish brown ribbons on a creamy kind of off white base. I still have another almost like it but no pix of it. Now we have 2 instead of 1 off the wall pelt !! Just looked again for pix of the other one a no go, guess I'll have to take a few. No guesses on the name for yours yet. Well I knew I'd find something if I kept digging, new to me marble with an old name !! Tomato or Tamato The now named Tomato, guess a daily check is in order, from a named NLR to a rainbo ?? Hmmm I think I'll find a real bizarre one and call it scrambled eggs since there already a few pelts in the egg family Pelt Bacon & eggs Labeled pix courtesy of the Pelt I.D. site. The search is on !!

WOW !! Guess there's a way around everything !! I seen it fine on my pc ??

Get out the friction toys, I'm burnin rubber, Somebody give me a push !!!! Lets get this party started 🤣 🤣......

I guess Tommy's is a variant, to which I have one just like it & yes it is the same as MK base wise, A copy of Chucks post. Seems this is a highly disputed subject no matter where you go !! Post with many thanks from AAM, I'll include the link to the thread as well. Guess I'm wrong & right depending if you count the variants or not ?? I'd join the protest Ric but it would lead to the worlds longest thread. LINK : https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23563&start=0 Now were makin sense ?? (I think)
