Peltier Rainbo, Peltier Rainbo, Jabo "Lawn Chair", Peltier "Muddy" (a Rainbo as well) Marble--On!!

I am getting Vitro vibes here. Marble--On!!

Great stuff Roberto! Thanks for this and-- Marble--On!!

I have been doing this for many years and doubt is always a fraction of any ID regardless of the marble involved. Your instincts will come into play later than sooner. Once you get a lock on your instincts--you are on your way to a more definite ID. My instincts tell me Peltier—“Rainbo” And I still may be wrong—this is the fun, and I appreciate all opinions. Marble—On!!

It is special--not an All-Red imho-A "Tiger Eye"--made by Vitro. I apprecaite all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I get that, Welcome my friend. Show us what you have, 3-4 marbles at a time with several angles included. Pick out the ones with multiple colors—the larger the better. We are all here to help you with your ID of your Dads marbles. You keep on rocking with your diagnoses and keep the faith. Post your images in the ID section and expect better results. Marble—On!!

I would love to see @Chad G. opinions here. I think that it has been "buffed" at the very least. Nice marble--Great images--- Marble--On!!

It is a swirl x2--no cateye here. I would not be surprised to see someone saying that this is a Ravenswood marble from the "digs". I love the "Chunk" in this one. Nice marble regardless of the ID. I respect all ID attempts and hope to see some more here. Great images as well. I stiil love the "nut"--is this the OG? Marble--On!!

Nice Horse-Shoe Cat! A real Beauty! I have always appreciated the transparent glass in this type as well as the “Vitro Hybrids”. Nice Marble-Great images! Marble—On!!

X2 Vacor-- Marble--On!!

I agree with Vacor here--a very nice one. You are comparing it to an older "Master Made Marble". This is not a rule but "Master Made Marbles" just feel harder or colder when you touch them for some insane reason that I can not explain. In the original Masters (Master Made turned into Master Glass), it is hard the even feel a cutmark in most of them with your finger nail. They were very well made. Hope this helps--- Marble--On!!

Two more images could define this one quite well--both cut marks (or usually where the colors meet ). At this point--it looks like a Vintage Marble made in the USA and Peltier is a possiblity. Marble--On!!

The seller listed it wrong. This one is an Akro Popeye. Blocks Auctions would have payed up in spades with this one--even minus the allotment. Nice find and share Wolf. Marble--On!!

Good eye Roberto! Still not Gaudy--lol--just Killer!! Marble--On!!

Post a link Wolf. This is OK to do. Marble--On!!

Tommy has sucked it up and volunteered to become a Moderator. Please welcome him with open arms and give him the same respect that you give to @bumblebee, @Steph @Chad G.—little ole me and @Melissa. We need the help sooner than later and I am happy to welcome Tommy—He deserves it for sure. Marble—On Tommy!!

I always appreciate the transparent glass--your glass here is stellar. The big bubbles along with the colors involved make this one a "Foot Breaker"--lol. Be carefull with these in sunlight as a display--they may start a fire, just sayin. (no, I am not kidding) Nice image! Marble--On!!

Hey JunkyJen, You will get better results by posting each marble/marbles(3-4 at a time) in a seperate post. A new post with a "catchy" Header will attract much more attention. Vacor, "Spumoni" or "Parrot"--many names may apply to these, Vacor is a master of re-naming marbles. I believe that the Parrot did not have a "Lustered finish" ( "Lustered" meaning a chromish like finish that was sprayed onto the marble as it rolled down the rollers to be formed and cooled)--The Spumoni did for sure--still does ( It is also called a "Mermaid"). I appreciate all comments and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I would sort this one as a CAC swirl that may involve a "Turkey Head". Image one needs to be turned up a bit to the right to reveal the whole thing here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I love it too!--Gaudy? We all love Gaudy here. I would be hard pressed to call it Chinese. ( maybe--I just doubt it) I think that a marble craftsperson went wild with this one in the good ole USA. I could see Lady Gaga wearing this as an amulet of sorts. "Abracadabra"--- Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

We are all kids here--some of us are just way older kids Zzzzzzzz💤. ( maybe a snore mixed in). Imperial sold a whole bunch of cool marbles. The Marbles that Imperial sold have been fooling many collectors for years. It is just a fact that they came from a multitude of countries. I just wish that I could break the code about who made what. Just do a search--Imperial Toy Company was bankrupt about six years ago and purchased by Ja-Ru ( Japenese firm ?). @shiroaiko is a master @recearching. This may be a new endeavor for her--or not--just sayin. Marble--On!!

Ummm--- I do not know if Jabo was allowed to dump into creeks any more. Do not let this stop you--dig away--just make sure that it is legal--or get a bunch of friends to look out for you --lol. Marble--On!!!

I agree--check it and get back to us. Clean up your images--lock your elbows into your ribs--steady, steady--shoot. Sit down if you have to--who cares? Crop them to the edges of the marble and post some more images. Good luck! Marble--On!

I have seen a handfull of these that were used as "Polishing Media". They were made for several reasons but polishing a variety of manufactured items in a tumbler was probably the most used. Mine were all scar-ed up with a flat or "raspy" finish to them. Not worth a whole lot of money--just a cool find to me--and an education that came along with them ---which is priceless. Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!
