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.

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)

🤣 !!

Yaaa Hooo !! Were havin fun now, Stack unstack & restack ready, repeat Ok !! Ok !!

& & & Oh wait, you changed your mind, Ah well back into this pile & sometimes I feel like I'm in a wash machine!!

Welcome to the land of confusion Ric, we had the same discussion over the same marble on AAM & was decided to be a Girl Scout ?? We wee all lost as to the true I.D. for a Girl Scout for a while. A very good discussion, this is how marbles get named I guess ?? They're so close in I.D. it's ridiculous, I just collect what I like & play repeat as to what I see I guess ?? See what I mean, the lemon lime you have a pic of has 4 ribbons not 6, I feel the same as you Ric, maybe someday it'll all get ironed out !!

Yes, I didn't have time to post them all, just trying to stick to one at a time. LINK : https://www.peltiermarbles.info/?fbclid=IwAR1tLWrHDrJV2cWWD1MbiJqJyR8GMst-Huy2WZNfpEU3VH8mEjoOonrvtaU

Green opaque base w/ opaque yellow ribbons=NLR Girl scout. I know for years I called them John Deere's as well ??

Confusing yes I know Ric, I have some with an apparent 5 or 6 ribbons, I agree Tommy's does have 4 ribbons, & the I.D.'s change so much I can barely keep up. Used to call the one I have pictured a lemon lime now a translucent base w/ yellow ribbons !! So many new names, I'm a pelt freak & can barely keep up. A picture from the Pelt. I.D. website of a lemon lime. A new one on me as well Ric, I wasn't aware until mere months ago !!

Yours is a Peltier NLR Girl Scout, the construction is a bit off but I'd still call it an NLR =opaque green base w/ opaque yellow ribbons. John Deere = opaque yellow base w/ transparent green ribbons NLR John Deere

Right on the money Tommy, that article by David is invaluable, a lot of stuff I didn't know, a perfect place to post them mibs !!

Correct Tommy, they look like Nova's to me, as long as their between 7/8ths & 15/15ths here's the link to "David Chamberlains" I.D. for them Steph left on the post Just click the arrow in the upper right hand corner to view David's article, I copied it & put it in a folder for future reference, just in case !! Thank you Steph !!

It was on my list forever & I never dreamed it would come the way it did !! The surfer, a Goblin etc... marbles there are only a few in existence, but who knows, if that one came walking through my door, "maybe??" Yeah right !! I'm waiting on that second lightning bolt.

Hello, Bill, good to see you !! Yes I waited till a few of you bought it to make sure, I don't know much about cats but I suppose that's all about to change. Thanks for the heads up Brother.

I thought I posted this here before but looked & couldn't find it. Controversial as the silver surfer & Chuck G's dark universe this one walked through my front door last summer, I guess you could call it a found in the wild mib but it found me, a VVHTF Peltier Blue Lagoon soaked in fine particle's of silver Av. I had been wanting one for quite some time & could barely believe it when it came in with a friend & a bunch of other pelts, one as made dimple & that's it, no fleas nothing.

Nice call Josh !!

I'm getting Elizabeth Kempski's new book on Cat Eye's, it should be here Thursday, I'm sure it will be a real eye opener for me as well Ric.
