I believe you're right Josh, the old Rooster just had white ribbons going through the red base, no yellow !! Pics courtesy of the, biles - en - tete.com site reposted link here by Al a few months back. A copy of the Vacor (Mega) I.D. site. Thanks Al. Most complete Vacor I.D. site I've ever seen. I copied all the different kinds & put them in a folder just in case it vanishes for good next time, once was enough. LINK :https://www.billes-en-tete.com/liste_billes.php?lang=en

At last s survivor, I've been in the house for quite a while now !! Tell me how bad is it out there ?? Speaking of butter, I need some bread, my supply of that and toilet paper is getting dangerously low, whatever shall I do ?? Now that the remainder of my monthly disability check is going to the double mask amendment there's just not enough month at the end of the money !! Ah well, when the 3rd mask initiative rolls around we'll all die of carbon dioxide poisoning anyway. Here's a sneak peek at my new revolutionary C19 mask design "almost undetectable" and guaranteed to stop that pesky virus at every turn, like a brick wall. Unlike the mosquito going through a cyclone fence mask protection we have now. Maybe if we all just stay in our houses forever & call grub hub every day for our meals we'll have nothing to worry about Yeah !! that makes perfect sense

Pelt MCS for sure

My first 3 are considered sunbursts as well as yours.

99% of the marbles I have pictured are Master!! There is one Imperial, the only white opaque base (bottom center of the group pic ) Not all master come to a point like yours, most all the ones with the same color scheme as yours I have come to a point. Take the master brushed patch for example. some come to a point like yours and others(usually bigger ones) have the (u) horseshoe shape like mine. One end of the horseshoe pattern is convex and the other concave. Just like any manufacture, the mibs will vary widely in appearance over the years, or different runs. There are certain indicators on every mib with the tell tale signs of the manufacturer. Time & experience are your best friends at this point, I have to be willing to bend a little also, how else will anyone ever learn new information ?? You can buy a cheap set of plastic calipers at any hardware store, $10.00 or less, try harbor freight. or Ace or........ Size can be very relevant to the I.D. of certain mibs, calipers are a must have for any collector, new or old.

Not a stitch of yellow Ric, what looks like yellow is the view from the transparent side thru the glass to the opaque side, the yellow tint is some of the blood red transparent mixed in the clear, very hard to explain this mib. I just took about 15 more shots of it and called Craig to get over here and load my pics onto the computer. the green didn't come out well so I'll look at it on my TV, tonight and retake anything that needs it. I didn't realize what it was worth until I seen it looking through one of my folders. I have a seven up green one almost like it, same story, half transparent half dark opaque seven up green with blood red transparent ribbons running all through it. Hopefully my pics will do them both justice, I'll take a bunch of super macro so you'll be able to see actual color and not a hot reflection or glare, you've seen my pix, they should come out ok, difficult to take accurate pix with both transp. & opaque glass with another transp. color running through it, but like I said I'll work it. The top left where you see half & half shows all the colors & construction of the marble. Oh I scored two really nice opals today a 5/8ths clambroth a couple more weird rainbo's and 6 alleys 1 of which is a Sistersville & 4 green on opaque white with the (horsehair) alley ox tracing the green & running all over them (a drizzle ) I know there common but I like them. The opals and rainbos were a gift and I had to give a little for the Alleys, Oh I almost forgot the best one. A 25/32nds miller spiderman, almost a ying yang but not quite, I could find no discernable seem, a great mib

I picked up a pelt "identical" to this last week. Blood red transparent ribbons tracing a white line on either side. One side transparent the other opaque green. Characteristics of a rainbo, an NLR and a tracer type ribbons like a Bloody Mary. Dani Kirk took this pic. in 2019. Unidentified "Peltier Christmas colors on clear marble" quote: I grabbed this one as soon as I seen it, knowing I had never seen one like it before. I wish you could see it in hand, a killer, especially the blood red color working along with the rest of the mib for some fantastic contrasts in color, I call it my "Calico" I believe the name will stick. Obviously to me from the rainbo family (I think) Original Ebay final sale price post from 2019 I'll take my own pics every way but Sunday so you can get a good look at this very unusual mib, on top of that it was given to me with a bag of others I picked out in exchange for the identification and appraisal of a couple gallon jugs. The others weren't bad either, a couple vitro opals a buttermilk & some old patch & ribbon MK's along with 2 Alleys. The more I look at the picture either mine is the same marble or it was right behind this one coming down the rollers. And I do mean exact, I can't wait for the pics to get transferred to my laptop. Anyone have one similar ??

I guess people are just to busy & preoccupied with life to take time out, to laugh, or look at something new ?? I like to check it all out ............"you know" expand my horizons..................."Marko" .................. can you here me ?...........is anybody there?............ Cmon we got some high quality content here, Oop !! here comes the swim team again .................yep ! the gangs all here. I call my team the "C19's" a great & memorable name and a sure hit at the pool this year after they bring home the Gold !!.........Please donate to this "more than worthy" cause at, "www.2ndshot.com" or contact my receptionist @ "www.armhrts.com" or donate indirectly at "[email protected]" or call the followmeblindly foundation direct at 1 - 555 - stl - alve., just a few ways to be just like everyone else. Guess I'll just sit here & wait for a stray to mosey by Hmmmm.. Hmmm.. Hmm, needs more salt, Hmmm..................🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘............WoW !! I've been here quite some time ⌛ - ⏳ maybe just a little longer. Hmmm.......Got any butter ?.............Hmmm.......

I see an opal !! Not the most opalescent but still.

Thanks for the short version Ron. I just couldn't spit it out.

Opals are just what the name implies, when you hold them up to the light the glass has a very opalescent color to it. I have no pics of my opals but will take some tonight. Like Ric said it only takes a little light to see it. You don't need a bright maglite, just dim lamplight will do, I got my fingers crossed for ya. Here's a pic of one from my friend Terry, you can see the opalescence shining through right at the bottom of the mib I have one exactly like this one, same colors and everything, you can see the opalescence a little easier in this one, when you shine a light directly onto it it looks white "corn flower" colored as Ron said.

Masters can come in any array or combination of colors. All these are Master, the color & design of the glass you have is probably one of the more common ones. You can see some just like yours in the group shots.

I agree, a huge, hard bullseye shaped hit, you can see the big round fracture lines clearly reflecting the light in almost every pic.. This mib took a substantial hit, "several of them" the big one looks like someone took a hammer to it, you usually don't get hits that big from another mib, unless they're using a big ball bearing or steelie. Maybe someone shot it out of a slingshot at a brick wall, who knows ?? The fractures can block the light as well as reflect it, that's probably what you're seeing. Clearie or whatever, I'm sorry to say the marble is done for.

"Thanks for the early heads up Chad !! Maybe by some miracle I'll find a way there ?? Chad G.

Agreed Ric it looks very promising, I hope it does, opals are beautiful mibs & one of my favorite Vitro

Master

Vitro for me, "Veneered" is the base glass opalescent when backlit ?? If yes an opal patch

It's a Pelmo Ric, a one of a kind VVVVVHTF hitchhiking multi factory chameleon mib. Seriously I think pelt. neither the base glass nor the ribbon colors look consistent with most Kokomo to me. Kokomo glass always appeared a lot drabber, some even seedy looking, just my opinion, it is a bizarre mib. I guess if you look long enough you could read almost anything into it !!

Did you figure out which mibs to put in yours yet Brad ?? Or like me, changing them around every couple days, or was that hours ?? Chad G.

The base glass, yes confusing, but the seam in the last pic, lower ( R ) corner and the other side for that matter looks Akro, But you're right Ric an abstract mib indeed. Now I'm getting confused, the more I look the more I doubt, Ah I'll stick with Akro, I have as I'm sure you will agree not seen every color combo & different shade thereof, Akro made, nobody has, they're innumerable, kinda like a pelt rainbo "Never-ending" I remember when I went to the Seattle show in 2017, someone came up with hundreds of prizenames & said to me " look only 3 to go & I'll have every color combo prizename Akro ever made " they where so happy I didn't want to offend so I said "why yes you do" I'll admit 9 of those pistol cases full is a lot to dedicate to prizenames & he did have quite a few I had never seen. but to have every color you would have to have been there at Akro and saved every prizename that ever rolled down the line. At this point, nothing would surprise me. Taken back a bit "Yes" surprised " No" Sorry for the rabbit trails, maybe that should have been my Avatar, a pic of Bugs Bunny's head ??

Just looking I'll throw my hat in for Akro, doesn't look pelt to me ??

x 2, Agree with Ric, Akro "lazy corks" Any partial rotation like that on an Akro, disqualifies it as a patch and qualifies it as a corkscrew. Corkscrews need not make a full rotation to qualify. Taken from the {MCSA} Marble Collectors Society of America, with permission from and credit to.

Grrr !! Another Akro Friday just bought some more corks & a few pieces of Akro ware & some Chiquita cups & other assorted dishes, have pics but still waiting on my bud Craig, I'm quite IT (Tech ) disabled and really need to learn to do it myself & before you ask I don't have a cell to take pics with, just the Sony camcorder I've had for the past 10 years, talk about aggravating.

That was a lollipop Ric, you just pulled the stick out !! Sweeeeet !! Why do so many mibs resemble food to me ?? Am I hungry ??

X 2, I vote Red Raven also, that's what I had my fingers crossed for. A red Raven is one of the better Ravenswood's, condition plays a large part in pricing, I see pocket ware, debris & some possible fleabites on yours, all will be a substantial reduction in the value. Damage or ware can turn a $100.00 wet mint marble into a $10.00 marble or less in a hurry, don't let any of this discourage you, we've all been through it & we were all new at one time. When I was new there wasn't a forum or internet website to turn to, so learning was a much longer, & at times expensive process. You have everything at your fingertips now, you're in the right place
