I've been collecting quite a while, well over 20 yrs, 15 to 20 seriously, and still see new one's as I'm sure you do. lost an 18 yr. collection in 09. during a divorce. That put a damper on thing's for about 5 yrs. I collected some but not many. I love collecting Peltier because of the great diversity and obscure mib's that pop up and seem to be more prominent in Peltier. I still have a bunch of mib's to take pic's of, gettin lazy I guess. Thank you for the great pic's Chuck, most enjoyable

Yes the base is pink, not even a smidge of av. I looked many time's, I have now what I call a golden bee, golden not yellow base w/ ex. hvy. av. The one in the picture is from my old collection I had till I auctioned everything in 09, during a divorce. 99% of a collection that took almost 18 yrs. gone. But I still have the pic's. Just like the golden bee I have now, another variant, boy I had some obscure one's, Peltier wasn't really the bee's knee's then for everyone else but it was for me. People where going more after the hand mades. Thank you for the comment's Chuck, I'll take a look and try to post some more oddball's from my old pic's. This pic isn't worth a whistle, in hand the base glass look's like that of a golden reb. I'll take another pic with it next to a couple other bee's so you can see the difference, and use the new bulb's I have. I would really like to have a blue bee but the price has really sky rocketed. plus I haven't seen one in a while, do you happen to have one or a pic ??

Op post in pelt slag's, still isn't showin. probably the same pic since I see some green ying yang pelt slag's here, killer !! Man them miller's got me hurtin for certain.

One of my big mistake's, auctioning this uv onyx off in 09. Man I had some beautiful mib's 😭 It might take a bit longer but I'll get there, the one I have ordered isn't half the marble this one was.
-
I only have the opaque's, no transparent Alley green or in between, this is it. One shot outside and one inside. I love the transparent green but can't get my hand's on any good one's.
-
I call this one my orange creamsicle, you'll see why, at an oversized 27/32 not my biggest but a wet and a beautiful orange and creamy semi opaque white color, I can almost taste it !! I have a few bigger but all white based commie's, all are between 31/32 and 1 ", none over, I don't think. Last pic is a repeat of it amongst some other more common mib's and size's for comparison. The John Deer and the Nova are both 7/8th's, a couple of the other's go down to 9/16th's.

I'm gonna copy ya man and put a light in about every 2 feet, Gonna give's me lotsa space ( look's like you used old header board's around the outside ?? Killer idea !! What are you using so the mib's don't roll out ? my little nephew's sticky little finger's get up into hard to reach space's, think I'll cover mine w/ a sliding plexiglass window, just to be safe. That way I can replace it cheap and it won't break. ( I see the louvered window shade reflection in the mirror now )
-
They're on their way,⏳, ⌚ ,c'mon really !!
-
I like the mirror idea also, ad's a bunch of light and give's you a view of the entire mib.
-
You're right now I see it, I had them and about 20 other's in one bunch, just going by the patch theory but I see the horse shoe's on the end of the master now and the straight cut lines on the yellow Akro, I'll get them all together and submit a pic later Steph after I've taken a closer look @ them. Patches of any kind ( except Peltier are the only mib's that get my goat ) Thank you

This a picture of a marble I used to own, only one I've ever seen, there was a peltier I.D. website some 10 or 12 yrs ago just before I sold this one in 09 Identifying it as a chocolate bee ?? The picture is color correct, reddish brown ribbon's on a pinkish base, even pinker in hand. Anyone seen or have another I.D. for it ?? The site I was using said this one was quite rare ? I do have more pic's from my auction if you want to see them, one strange NLR. Well I guess this one is rare enough it should have wing's, in my case unfortunately it did.

Here's another pic of an E bay sale Bonnie, This mib is exactly like the 2 flaming golden dragon's I had in my old collection in 09, the same flaming ribbon's on a golden yellow base ( a flaming dragon has the flaming ribbon's w/ a green base, the non flaming has more of a red mono colored ribbon ) they run from $40.00 and up for a decent one, depending on size and pattern of the ribbon's, ( I paid 175.00 for a clean surface, wet mint 3/4" miller pattern flaming dragon, I was paying for the wild pattern it exhibited and the unusually large size not to mention the out of the factory wet condition ) marble's after all are subjective, hope this help's you. I'll look for some pic's of my old one's, The second pic is a regular dragon, 3rd pic. flaming dragon, these pic's are from a friend of mine. The fourth and last pic is of my own personal flaming dragon I own now , only 11/16 in size but I love the pattern. ( note the ribbon's in the first, third and fourth are the same, flaming !! ) Don't let the variance of the green base glass throw you off, still green just a different shade, another case of personal preference. I collect mainly Peltier, my avatar is a Peltier miller swirl tiger, if your going to collect Peltier get ready for a lot of variance, that's one of the main reason's I collect them is that fact. " good luck, have fun " ( Sorry so long winded Bonnie ) Hope this wasn't to much of a .

Great job man, pic look's fine, excellent display, something like I was thinking of, some type of wall mount w/ louvered light's shinning down from the top onto the mib's ??
-
"Thanks Al" I just wanna see all the different way's people display their mib's, I've even got some built into spinning wind twisters , hang on I'll post it. A few more on the porch, out in the weather, still nice.
-
"Nice one Al" I wish mine was in that good of shape, 1/4th of the patch is a blowhole, I'm still keepin it but wish the hole was about 100% smaller
-
That's ok man , just the one side is torture enough.
-
Seen some @ the show with a bunch of carpet bowl's, so they must qualify. A little further to the left and ya coulda got them "foos bowl's too".
-
Ok that's obscure, roll it around a bit could ya ??
-
I got the same thing, the other's are already fixed. I'll just drool until they appear.
-
Don't have another room, lookin for ideas ?? The gumball machine's are pushin it, I don't like the chance of my mib's rubbing like that, they're gonna stay put for a while. Can't cover my wall's w/ print drawer's, guess I'll just box em up and rotate em every once in a while," I don't know " guess thing's could be worse, I can't really call it a problem.
-
Now I see em, them mib's is peltarific love the miller's, and those ying's are yangin, what am I talkin about I love em all !! The 2 dragon's and the tiger in the front tray are sooo swirly good !!
-
I just found some clear base white patche's like yours Bill, took forever in a day I ran over em 3 time's.
-
Here are a few picture's of the mib's I keep out. Trying to make room, need some idea's !! I have some gumball machine's full and the dome's I use aren't for marble's , they had thimble's in them, so I removed the thimble's and sat my mib's on rubber o ring's, very sturdy, next best thing to drilling hole's.
