  1. Love it--never heard of it--like it. Thanks!! Marble--On!!
  2. Good call Chad--av is present--Thanks!! Marble--On!!
  3. Ohh----good eye Chad, its a PPP--sorry--lol.( nice one though) Ok I flipped them all and adjusted the lighting. It took awhile. I will check back tommorrow--good luck!
  4. Come on Chad--think corkscrew😁. You already named two that I did not know---a good pelt head only needs one view--- Marble--On!!
  5. The last two images are Roosters Fire--The seams on "roosters" are all over the place, they came in many color variances’ and looks, deep red to lighter red--many runs. Think swirl instead of slag, Roosters are swirls. They are Vacor--no doubt. Just compare them to your first two--no comparison really. The roosters can be a tuff ID sometimes—not this one for me. I agree that your first is a Pelt—The second is more than likely an Akro—Nice one! I will post a few hard to ID “Roosters” here compared to Akro. I am comparing these to Corkcrews. The last images are more swirly but they are "Roosters. Marble--On!!
  6. Just for kicks I am posting 121 “simple” Peltier Rainbos like a rookie. I know what a few are but if you see any that might be named—just ask for a more detailed image. Some of these may look the same—not. Chad will catch a few in a row—he caught me with one of these a few years back. The ones to the right of them are interesting, the only two that are the same. The upper right hand one—well it is a “Muddie” and it asked to be included, it would be like asking my dog to stay home while I gave the cat a ride in the car—not going to happen.( I love a good Muddie) Let’s have some fun with this—I could care less about names but I am always willing to learn. I had great fun sorting through my Pelts to get this image—I may have too many Pelts. I found two MKs and three Vitro’s and two that are more than likely foreign, so I am not doing too bad after all these years. I just sort them and put them in coffee cans—Plastic of course. Lets Marble on Pelt Heads!!!
  7. Yikes CharlieT!!! Jabo imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  8. The last one is a "ROOSTER" Fire. Marble--On!!
  9. It is a very nice example! Marble--On!!
  10. Mibby has a "KILLER". Marble--On!!

    My Garden

    I have 1500 gallons capacity for catching rainwater. I have never planted without rainwater, right now, I have zero. I am using well water--what a drag!! My rain catching system has been set up for three weeks. No rain in the future either. The grass is growing yet thanks to the cooler nights but it feels like walking on gravel---poor Robins--I might have to set up a sprinkler for them--not kidding. I take care of the birds. I tilled my garden two weeks ago. The weeds are not even growing--yet😁. I see using many types of mulch in the future weeks. It is gardening--not growing--always a challenge. I had to water my native species today--with well water. I have never had to fill my little goldfish pond with well water--Guess what? Garden On!!
  12. Well----I had better check my Pelt Rainbo stash, it has been a few years and maybe some are named. I have to stay out of the dirt for awhile—Doctors orders. I see a good thread coming soon. I will try it out, but I am just not a name guy. Three marbles per post are allowed--right? I can take images now--nothing else- no garden work—this is my planting time—what a drag. The garden will be planted a tad late this year----------oh well------ Marble—On!!

    My Garden

    I just love chives---use the flowers in cooking for a little extra snap of color.( I eat them rawđŸ€Ș) Flowers--On!!
  14. OK Steph, Thanks for that. I agree that it is a Veiligglas--nice one. The opaques are a hard find here in the USA. Marble--On!!
  15. #28 and # 30 are more than likely Vitro “Horsehoe catseyes”. #1 could be one from a variety of makers—no ID will be produced here. #24—I think that you have two separate marbles here, top and bottom are not the same marble imho. #23 well it could be a Pelt Rainbo---maybe— Marble—On!!
  16. Winnie??---Size??? Very Nice what ever it is!! Marble--On!!
  17. Nice "Monet" Scooter!! Marble--On!!
  18. Size always matters--- Marble--On!!
  19. That is a new name to me. Pelt Rainbos came in as many variations of colors as Akro corks did. Pelts seem to pick up names quicker than invasive flowers. I cannot keep up with them—the names. It is a Rainbo—nice one!! Marble—On!!
  20. Agreed Steph. "Special" usually deserves more images----- Marble---On!!
  21. Good stuff! Thanks for the input. (make some more marbles) Marble--On!!
  22. Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" Maria BLanco. Your son has the best place in mind--West Virginia. I just wish that I could take a trip there--I am not very good at traveling thoughđŸ€ą. Start with Clarksburg and hit the antique stores. Marble--On!!
  23. This ID is based on your second image left to right. Master Patch WVS—no ID from me--more opinions are needed here. Akro Patch Marble—On!!
