I have always loved to put old marbles in old boxes for display. This is one of my favorites. All Akro--- Marble--On!!
-
My call is Pelt Peerless Patches--PPP---all of them. To find four would be a great find--Six is next level. Put a "Pelt Figure" on these and they would "Skyrocket" you to very many future marble purchases ( maybe even a down payment on a car--lol😁 ). Oh well--just dreaming here----they are still very nice keepers for sure. Thanks for the Image--Very Nice--- Marble--On!!

I agree--no CAC here. This one is more than likely a Jabo "classic". "Classic" meaning one that was produced by the factory for general sales through-out the world. This one looks very nice with nice color coverage and a very "Minty" finish.( these bigger Jabo were prone to little white hit marks just from packaging they are very soft in glass terms) This is a very nice marble that would fit into any collection. Thanks for sharing it. Mrble--On!!

They sure do Roberto, I like them but buyer beware, there are repo's of the marbles out there--educate yourself before any purchase of these for sure. I had a numbered repo box that I could not fill with sub-par marbles. Too rich for me! Very collectable to the point of me backing off from these. Good Luck and Marble--On!!

The longer the thread the better imho William--it is a "Frosted Hurricane". I just love long threads. Always feel free to PM me with any concerns about posts--all of you here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm, One is a weak "Miller type" (Burnt Cristmas tree?)-the next is a nice big (but weak Woodie) NLR. Nice miss imho. Niether one will hold it's value here imho. Safe your bucks for the best! Marble--On!!

Ok Wolf, I can back you up here, I am proud to do so. I am also glad to see you back it up lightly --good job ! Sunlight--better images--It may just be an Alley "Lady" of some sort. Give us your best images here. This Marble does not suck-either-way. @cheese wiil check in when you are done--I am sure of it. Marble--On!!
-
Some form of a Rooster---- Vacor still makes these and they still are killer--Many different colors are involved throughout the years. Marble--On!!
-
Just as an after-tought with no proof. I have always tought that Vacor "Frosted" marbles rather than put them out to pasture.( no proof) This may be one of those. The "Frosted" ones always seem to be very nice when coverage is considered and it makes sense to do so--money wise for them. These are just my weird toughts as a collector--who sometimes thinks too much about this weird thing that makes us collect toy marbles😁. I collect and I do my do diligence.--I may just be mental with marbles. I just suck at WVS ID🤢--the rest, well, I get them get pretty well. No marbles suck imho--some are just a tad or so better ( yep sometimes much better--but that is what we do here--try to get to the next level). Collect what you like and keep on collecting. If you are into the money--just stick around for awhile--you never know do you? Are there any out there willing to trade for Bennies--probably not but they are just a thing that you want to keep for some reason (the Chickadee of all marbles). I just love them all--Anything Round!!! Marble--On!!

I like this marble, I am not into names though. I would never polish it--never. It is a very nice Akro. Marble--On!!
-
I think Jabo also--a special one. @Nantucketdink may have another opinion though. My call is just a special "Jabo Classic". Nice marble--Great ask! Marble--On!!
-
Notice the way that the white bleeds softley into the red--this one is a Vacor imho. Marble--On!!
-
Good job Al Oregon, so many headers so many names. You bailed us all out here once again.👍. Marble--On!!
-
Maybe it was sold in Africa--just made in Mexico. I have little doubt that there are some folks making marbles in Africa some place--just for us in the USA at least------- Marble--On!!
-
Yours is a Pelt--no doubt. Marble--On!!
-
Oh--don't I know it--You did very well--verry well Just crop them a bit more and rock on!! Marble--On!!

AV means Aventurine. Yours shows some glass bubbles on the green--not AV. Aventurine is mosty discussed as little fakes of a metallic nature involved in the glass itself when it is involved with "Machine Made Marbles". Like litle diamond bits or if you are into "Hot Rod" cars--it would be "Metal Flake". This av could be Gold, Blue, Green, Yellow--or even black--- amongst others. Now given that, in Old German Handmades this would be considered as "Lutz" a true bonus in any antique handmade. I know--hard to decipher. You keep coming back and asking questions--post some more marbles as well. Marble--On!
-
I understand. Pelt Rainbos have as many colors combos as any Akro Corkscrews have. Pelt Rainbos are just messy compared to most Corkscrews. You get a few--800 or so under your belt and you will know. Once you know Pelt Rainbos--you will never look back. These are great little marbles to collect and you will never find them all. These are just great Marbles-- Marble--On!!
-
This one is a Vacor Hurricane imho. Bust them down one by one and consider that many look the same as the first. This is a long running marble made by Vacor for good reason--they all look good. Marble--On!!
-
"Peltier Bananas" have some of the very clearest glass ever made---ever. Crystal clear with very, very few bubbles involved. Pelt is known for bubbles in the glass--not these--they are very refined as far as the clear/transperent goes. Peltier Bannanas have some of the finest clear glass ever made in the world of collectable marbles, I love em and will continue to collect them as cateyes. Crop these images a bit and you are perfect here with images. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
Welcome back for sure. If this one was one inch--I would cal it a Jabo. You listed the size as a seasoned collector should. You keep coming back with more to share with us all here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!
-
Alley Pennsboro, vs Alley St.Mary's , vs Ravenswood,--it could only take an expert. (these will alway be up for grabs as far as an ID is concerned) Call them what you like-- I just like them. I reverted to the Alley Agate Company books---the results are up for grabs there imho. Nice post--no results here as far as I am concerned. Just call it a Ravenswood--because it is a cooler name than an Alley Agate whatever imho. Marble--On!!

I have never seen one of these, can you name it?!
akroorka replied to The DumpsteR BandiT's topic in Marble I.D.'s
As Chad says here--a "frit" marble made by many many companies World wide. The glass glob was cutoff onto the rollers and small specks of glass were sprinkled over the glass as it was rolled into a sphere. Of course, the sprinkled "Fret" was solid vs molten so it stuck to the surface of the marble, cooler than the glass glob was. Size is always an important thing to consider when a Marble ID is needed. I consider this one to be larger than one inch--maybe even two inches considering your finger at the bottom image. So--It survided a fire Pit? I love it! These are not too valuable, yours has nice coverage though. Pretty cool find, Nice share here. You keep them coming DumpsteR BandiT. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!! -
I am very happy with your images. "Size" is always important with Marble ID--always". There is green in this marble along with un-absorbed metallic flakes that many consider to be Aventurine. It is not considered (Aventurine) as such by the "Seasoned Collectors". This stuff usually shows up in a green color of any marble maker--World Wide. You did great with the images--even a few "backlit". Now, given that, most ID's are given over a phone today--little screen--little eyes on the marble. I still Use a PC with a large screen that many smaller images may have missed. I am ready to call this one a Master Made Marble--A patch--dark but very cool. It is not a real Valuable Marble--but you represented it very well. Thanks for that! Marble--On!!
