Remember the pic of PPP's I posted on "Peltier Tuesday" earlier, look @ the dark lines on the patches, it's on a lot of PPP's. I think you even have some dark outline on the one you posted there ?? Your pic. Almost. LINK :: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=36447&hilit=peltier+peerless+patches I think the color combinations are nearly endless, almost like Pelt Rainbos, another pic of PPP's from West Coast Dave on AAM LINK :: https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=46816&hilit=peltier+peerless+patches

Barcodes first appeared in 1974 so you can date your bag sometime after June 1974. Vacor is a lot older than people think. Still a nice bag and mibs Elias "Wow" guess I'm gettin old

Not the last, I just had an 8mm stone surgically removed this Dec. the 4th 2023 on the (R) side w/ one 3mm waiting in the wings in the other kidney. Dr. says I'm a "Stone Farmer" since he can find no other reason in my diet for my body to be manufacturing them & I mean manufacturing. About every 6-7 months I start getting a stabbing feeling in my (L) or (R) flank. Yee- Haw, here we go again, pain so unbearable I swear I hallucinate @ times but that all ends when I see the Dr. approaching, here he comes now ( No pictures this time, I'm sick of seeing them)

I found a medium grey to be the best as far as a neutral background color goes, "Good Luck" You'll get there, marbles are one of the toughest thing's there are to photograph.

Thanks for the link Art .... September 11th & 12th, 2008 JABO Peltier Mansion Run JABO Peltier Mansion Run One of the earliest runs which came out of the JABO Marble Experiments in 2008 was the Peltier Mansion Marbles. These were the brain child of Boyce Lundstrum (1944-2012), who was a founding member of the Bullseye Glass Co. and a renowned Fusion Glass artist who loved pushing the edge in the glass art field. You can read more about Boyce here at the Washington Glass School Blog. On that journey he made many friends and became a avid collector of marbles. His passion lead to his purchasing of the Peltier Marble factory the Peltier Mansion which was annexed to the marble plant. He created the Peltier 1st and 2nd Run marbles which were a sparkler type which were largely given away. However he continued to tinker and test with a Miller Swirl Machine which was located on the Mansion property, but was frustrated by mechanical and other hindrances. In late 2006, early 2007 Boyce with the assistance of his friend Michael Barton reached out to David McCullough who was the Vice President and Manager of the JABO Inc. Marble Company between 1991-2012, about doing a private run of marbles, and on September 11th & 12th 2008, this dream came to fruition. Boyce along with Michael, and two additional friends John Triggs and James Armstrong, manned the JABO Equipment with the assistance of JABO team members, to make history happen. Boyce ever the glass tinker, insisted on complete control over the process of mixing and directing the glass production from beginning to end, an arrangement he has worked out with Dave McCullough ahead of time. The resulting marbles included 19 families of marbles which included Red and Green Mica, Green, Black, and Red Aventurine, Yellow, White and Transparent based marbles, and the first ever Silver Metallic marbles. The Silver are among the rarest, if not the rarest JABO Experimental marbles ever produced. Michael Barton reported knowing of only 14 of which he knew, nine of which are featured here through his kind loan of the marbles for photography. Boyce named most of the marbles, incorporating the name “Betty” into many of them. Among the most famous and recognizable are the “Pink Flamingos” which are a stark white base covered with a large pink patch accompanied by a dark black purple patch and green aventurine.

I see a lot of pitting, fleabites & even some visible chipping & missing glass in the magnified view of your last pic giving it what I consider a near mint grade @ best, perspective will play a large part in the final value your marble. Here's a link to a sold marble in exceptionally high mint condition and what it sold for, wish I had some better news for ya but I'm afraid yours wouldn't bring nearly as much, marbles of this specific type this old in immaculate condition w/o any manufacture defects or wear are extremely hard to come by.
