All the cannonballs I've seen were Pelt NLR's. Looking at the flow of the glass & lack of seams in the backlit pix on top of the chunky av. I'm not 100% so sure it's a Pelt. (Rainbo or NLR) It exhibits more Alley characteristics with the chunky av. etc... If it is a Pelt "Rainbo cannonball" would be a first for me, but there are always firsts. I'll talk with a couple Pelt head friends & see what they think on this matter. A cannonball is on what I'd call, opaque "Pelt Zebra" base glass & you can't see through it backlit like that "But" a Rainbo is most commonly green or clear glass based ?? Again I'll do a little digging and make a call or two & see what I come up with. Thank you mibber for your post, a great discussion point !! A glorified NLR Zebra ( The cannonball ) As said I have seen a few fully covered but you could still tell they were NLR's. Bill M. ( mibcapper) had one for a while that I seen pix of but sold it. I did have a pic of it but lost in the shuffle as well.

A few toy cars I like, these are a few of my favorites. I have a bunch of older ones but like these best, most of them are cars remind me of my childhood. Some are older some are almost new, not buying for value just what I like. I have dreams of owning one of these 69 Road Runners or a 69 GTO judge convertible. I had a 69 GTO coupe that I foolishly sold because I didn't trust myself with all that horsepower. Who would have thought they would ever be this hard to get ahold of let alone the price. Most of these were common when I was a kid, those were truly the good old days !!

Finally got a couple wall mount displays, made a little more room only problem is their already full. Started out like this !! A few days later !! I squeezed in another 100 but that's it, the shelf on the bottom is now stuffed as well. I was short a few shelf supports so the display company sent another whole display saying they don't send partials so now I have one more to fill as soon as I get to it, quite the undertaking, leveling & bolting it to the wall. Then it's time to work the mibs in. I can already feel my neck & back throbbing with joy

Divided ribbon cores, damaged, missing glass, fleabites & pocket wear, $5.00 each, (maybe ?? )

Thank you all for the words of encouragement, I'll do my best !!

It all comes back sooner or later as a blessing in one way or another, sometimes totally unexpected like the score you got, one good wet mint av. royal is worth more than double the $60.00 you paid for the entire bag, not to mention the Pelts, man what a deal !!

Most royals w/ av. I've ever seen at once, no wonder I can't find any !! "Great" find is the word.

Agreed Jason, any and all things added for benefit of the members use, ease of access & or navigation of the site will attract new ones. I really like the one click "Like" (or dislike etc..) button, gonna save a lot of people a lot of key strokes. I'm not a FB guy myself, busy enough as is !!

My pleasure Al, you're welcome, I'm more than happy to help out !!

Almost a naked divided ribbon core looking at this pic & the distance between the outside white caged ribbons & the actual outside of the marble, 25 mm, very near an inch and looks to be in great shape, nice clean pontils w/ no visible damage or wear. $20 - $30.00 tops at least that's what I'd give for it personally Joep !! I like the blue jelly ribbons riding alongside the red ribbons. " A Very Nice clean mib"

Great Race Guys. looks like my Hero Bumble bee is bumbling about a bit, but you never know. Thanks Again for posting. I wasn't keeping an eye on my YouTube channels as usual

yes, all coreless swirls, $ 20.00 - $25.00 max

I recently got a new green pelt feather slag, a good size at almost 23/32nds. This pattern is getting harder & harder to find, especially the full rooster tail, but some tail is better than no tail

I'm gettin hungry for some mAKROni.....

Yep !! Still a win, still a wiger I'm a keepin it.

Maybe a Japanese transitional ?? I know the pinch looks way to small & more of a crease on Japanese ?? More like a shear but I can't place it anywhere else ?? Canadian ?? Definitely not a cold roll. My brain hurts !!

Left is either a slag or Vacor & right appears to be a Ravenswood Blue Raven, definitely a Ravenswood

Been a while since I've seen any crows worth looking at, nice clean mib Ron !!

Yeah, takes a bit to get through the tough, tasteless candy shell but after you do it tastes just like yummy , delicious clay 🤣

Yes love the broken cork patter, checkerboard is my favorite but as you know VVHTF. 23/32nds wet superboy, the cork actually almost makes it on this one, starting points at the top & bottom are visible & the break is visible in the center of this pic. I need to take a few more pix with better views. I noticed your wiger right away when it came up, I have a pic of mine as well, not as nice but still a wiger.

...... Livin the dream my Friend, livin the dream !!

Could be Bruce ?? There are several Vacor with the black base & blue, can't tell if the base is transparent green or opaque black from the one pic ?? Here's a maybe that Vacor makes, called a "Thunderbolt" ??

You're more than welcome Clive.

I might make it till midnight tonight. holding out for 2 mibs, sad but true. "Happy" (almost) Akro Friday. I do believe I skipped last week & maybe the week after that Oop !! Well we'll fix that.... Ah !! made it. One from an old post & one new one. The first I had to take bit better pix of the second is only the third one I have with actual black in it. " HAPPY AKRO FRIDAY" An Akro cork with a transparent orange base A Special w/ a Creamy tannish base & yellow and black streams Good Night
