I have a bunch of machine made pee - wee's. Peltier is my favorite manufacture type, HTF in the smaller sizes & still maintain the standard NLR look, much like when you get larger (3/4 & up) examples, the NLR design & ribbon structure often gets very distorted at either end of the spectrum. I just got some pee - wee Pelts as gifts from a couple great marble friends, 2 Wolverines & a transparent Christmas Tree , I'll post the pics as soon as I get them downloaded.

"Yes" some of the first things I learned when I started collecting were. Check the market values, always "buy what I like" & condition, condition, condition. I have some Vacor also, I kept because I like them not because of their monetary value. Here's a pic of one my best & favorite Vacor , a first run "Michelangelo". I have some red devils & a few other types also.

Yes the first one I picked out is Vitro. The second bunch of pics showing all groups appear to all be "Vacor" (Mega) made in Mexico. I wouldn't go so far as to sort them all out. I only see the (one) Vitro & one other questionable one that I'm not sure of the I.D. on. "Yes" you got a lot of marbles for 8 Euro & did a great job sorting them, look on te back of the DON JUAN marble net bag labeled "COMET" & it will say " Made in Mexico".

I see one that looks vitro second in from top left, the rest look Vacor maybe 1 other that are possibly not vacor Vitro Not sure on this one ???

Luck having it while I was out paying bills today out of boredom I went to the nearby Kalama Antique Mall, lots of vendors but mined out by droves of currently unemployed C19 patrons. I found one 4" contemp. I liked and know the owner so a $15.00 discount on a $40.00 item bringing my grand total to $25.00 for the day. Oh well !! at least I didn't buy any items that would just have ended up being "dust bunnies" Unfortunately no pizza next door "Subway" the local "Greasy Spoon" & the "Minit Mart" I decided to pass !! A "Great Day to be Alive"

Boy does that bring back memories my Brother & I had one as children. He got it for Christmas one year. The marbles met the same fate as the rest of them, "our slingshots" I don't really know te value of the game a a whole but the white Japanese pincher marbles are only pennies, I have hundreds of them in every color imaginable., I remember taking some pics of some Pee -Wees for Steph and a few slipped in the background. I don't have any black pinchers & can't remember seeing any. Looks like you have some manner of dark green clearie ?? Wish I had a value for the game as a whole ?? "Thanks for the post" it brought back some great memories Chad G.

A Peltier NLR Red Zebra has 4 red ribbons on a white base, exactly what yours has on one side. The other side is kind of wonky though, the ribbons don't meet, no broken cork or checkerboard pattern ?? Kinda messed up but still a Red Zebra They can vary quite a bit in size and so forth but the basic structure remains the same unless you are dealing with a "Miller Machine Example" with patience & time you will become atoned to identifying them. AN OLD PIC FROM MY FRIEND TERRYS SITE COMLPLIMENTS OF "LEE'S LEGENDARY MARBLES A LARGE 15/16ths EXAMPLE FOR SALE RIGHT NOW ON Ebay. I COUNT 2 SEAMS SO NOT A MILLER (maybe) BUT SIMILAR & HUGE. TO BE CONSIDERED A TRUE MILLER THEIR SUPPOSED TO HAVE ONLY ONE SEEM. If you want to take a look at the full Ebay listing here it is: LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/294109166424?mkevt=1&mkcid=1

Agree with Steph "Translucent" or "Semi Opaque" not "Transparent"
-
Agree, with Ric, a lot of work, very confusing to have to go back & forth 15 or 20 times. I would say 3 marbles per post to eliminate confusion & increase the accuracy & speed of the I.D., you'll probably get a lot more responses also " Thanks"

Way to go, I thought Joe's stuff was gone forever. I've used his site off and on for years. Thank you so much for posting it here Steph " Fantastic" Cool back onto my favorite's bar it goes
