	I have one kinda looks like it's tie died that I kept, really thick, like well over 1/2" in places , I'll post soon as I get the pix from my camcorder

	Looks like it was waiting for you ?? Amen !!

	I'd call it a Pelt Rainbo but there are those who will argue the point !!

	"Welcome to Marble Connection Jarrod" I'll just get you going a bit on some familiar ones !! The first picture is almost all from a manufacture called Vitro, a bunch of which are called all reds Just a general rundown you may have some real sleepers in there with 27,000 marbles Much easier for you as well as the person making the I.D. if you only post 3 or so marbles at a time, that way you can get a more accurate I.D. and be able to bunch you marbles accordingly as to type. 27,000 is a lot of marbles, you must have half a truckload ?? A good portion of these are from the "50's and 60's" Assorted cat eye marbles A few transitional marbles, a clay and one blue Bennington i.e. (glazed clay)

	You're welcome Rick, I'll start diggin here in a bit.

	I guess you could call it a "Ruby Dragon" "Dragon Bee" I don't know but it is a bifurcated marble, I have some rainbos that are bifurcated as well but no pics & really don't feel like digging around with a flashlight. Maybe some pix later tomorrow if I can find them ??

	Fruit cocktail is a Peltier name, it would have been a perfect name for this one though !!

	Same one I was taking seconds at, what a killer, definitely not from any stateside manufacture, I reflect you sentiments Steph "Wicked Cool"

	Yeah Brother

	My best & most trusted Friend "Don" passed away in Nov. of 2016. Best bow hunter I ever met. The thing he enjoyed most was being out in GOD'S creation, then came the Bear & the Elk. Nothing wasted, not a trophy hunter, as I remember in earlier years to feed his family. I have a lasting memento of him that brings back a flood of lifelong memories, I mean I went to grade school with the man. One day He was insulating underneath his house and he knew I collected marbles, I was over late that day to ask him how it was going, "Ok" he replied & said he had a surprise for me. He pulled a marble out of his pocket, the simplest of things a 9/16ths white opaque game marble. He put it in my hand and asked if it was worth anything. "Yes" I said, some !! I still have it, probably the lowest monetary value of almost any marble I have but to me it's priceless. I found a little bear trinket holder so packed a lifetime of memories into it, when I look at it all I see is my good friend and Brothers face. I keep many thigs like this all in one place, kinda like a garden, "food for my soul" marbles have brought me so many good friends & good times !!, Was it a good decision ?? The day I decided to collect them ?? Or maybe it was something else I was being led to or looking for ??
 - 
	Pretty much, but still if ya like em ?? I have some of very little value that I really enjoy having.
 - 
	This one looks like a Chinese torch marble, take a regular flashlight to it & see if that snow looking stuff floating inside it glows after you turn off the light, not gonna change "my" I.D. , Just curious !!
 - 
	Great post & link Steph, I've used Joes site a million times & "still do" what a continuing asset to the marble community, wish I could thank him in person, I understand he was very friendly & a great person to be around.
 - 
	Thanks for reminding me I knew I was forgetting something.
 - 
	Hyaah, giddy up there not there... there c'mon now, lets have some order here

	Killer pattern !!
 - 
	I had to do a double take also !!
 - 
	I agree with Steph, the distinctive brownish black lines make these look Vitro to me also.
