  1. I think that you may have a nice big Peltier "Bumble Bee". Killer size and not too common. Search like heck for some AV in the dark parts. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!!
  2. This is what I use on rust stains. Good for your teeth and good for your marblesšŸ˜. The weaker the better--just a bit of water and a mild scrub wiil do it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z7J0SL0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Marble--On!!
  3. Nice ā€œTurkey Headā€ on this one! I would leave it alone if it were in my collection. Turkeys show up in many WVS marbles. If this one is just ā€œbad Glassā€ with no hit marks involved I would say that it is a dug marble. (Hard to tell even with the nice images). I would shy away from CAC and call it a WVS from another maker. It may be an Alley Agate. I appreciate all opinions. Marbleā€”On!!
  4. Yes, more Images for sure. The big Pelts and the big Corkscrews did not always behave very well. Regardless of that---nice looking (nice size) marble!! Marble--On!
  5. This is all that I can add--great images--great looking WVS. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble--On!!
  6. Do you remember these hanging from the light poles? Yesā€”I saved oneā€”brittle as all gets out. They had Rudolph, Elves, Angels etc in this same formatā€”around three feet wide. I had a spare for parts but a tree took it out in my garage atticā€”go figure. Preserve what you can and of course-- Merry Christmas.
  7. It could be Ron--lets get it in hand for a final evalšŸ˜. I thought this as well--it is pretty clean for an Imp. though. Marble--On!!
  8. I agree. It is a cool marble. Wish I could help. Roger Hardy is not a bad guy to ask here. He was very receptive to a question that I had awhile back. Marble--On!!
  9. Why not Ron? The interweb provides a variety of themšŸ˜. I agree Chad--Zebras---not. I will stick with the black and white based and the occasional Red and white, Dark Red and white, Orange and white, Brown and white, the Burnt Red and white, Bronze and white, or all of the above that include AV, or the Blue and whiteā€”are there others??. The Pelt names do get out of control. Poor Noah, I think that he liked the Black and White the best. This is of course all in fun. Marbleā€”On!!
  10. These are some great images Dave 13. Nice marbles as well!! Marble--On!!
  11. ACME Realers have a base glass that is opalescent and they generally do not bleed into the matrix--just a nice thick patch. I am not feeling Akro or Peltier here. Hmmm?? Marble--On!!
  12. I will second that--nice marble! It may well be--just out of my realm for a positive ID. Marble--On!!
  13. This is a nice one. Nice deep yellow with two varieties of white ( one of which appears to be opal) with a transparent base. Ya know what--I would not rule out Champion--I do suck at WVS ID though. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
  14. That statement says it all--if you go back far enough that is. How many Alleys were purchased as CAC before the big reveal from the digs? CAC collectors were a wild, big spending bunch. They still have some of the best Alleys ever seen though. We will all see them again, before too long. This is the way! Marble--On!!
  15. A good question for sure. I would call them "really nice" Rainbos--just mho. Marble--On!!
  16. Nice image and great info. I am bedazzeled to be sure. It sure looks like an Akro made marble to me. Marble--On!!
  17. Here are two that show actual wear patterns that are close to yours in appearance. Notice the little scratches and the overall wear that may be called ā€œpocket wearā€ by many sellers. The original surface still shows through however. I treat CAC marbles like Antique hand-madeā€™s and no not mind a bit of wear or imperfections. I stop at anyone polishing any machine made marblesā€”I just do not want to ever board this ship. Still a nicer marble that you haveā€”unless it was misrepresentedā€”if it was--- go after the seller for a refund. Marbleā€”On!!
  18. These are some killer Vacors Mojoā€”all of them. There are a few that I do not recognize that I have posted below. If you have the names I would love to know. Marbleā€”On!!
  19. Well, that one is not too hard. It does look like it was "polished". The hard sharp lines on the holes reveal this to me, also the dull finish. Still a nice marble. "Electric Yellow" CAC--love it!!
  20. I see two cutoffs. Look where the white dives into the marble. The red may be a result of pollution from lubrication or other means. (copper lubricant amy be the culprit) These two match up quite well--maybe two from a hundred or so out of a million or so.( I may be a dreamer) Nice pair for sure! Of course, I appreciate all opinions. Marble--On!!
  21. It could be--nice call. I am not getting any Akro vibes here. Marble--On!!
  22. The first one is a Peltier ā€œRainboā€ imho. It is a nice Rainbo to be sure The second one looks bigger and I will throw out a possibility of it being a Ravenswood if it is under or Ā¾ā€. Bear in mind that I suck at WVS IDā€™s. The third one is a nice, well filledā€œSlagā€Imho, probably an Akro. All opinions are needed here and most welcomed. Marbleā€”On!!
  23. I think that you have a nice big Jabo there--pre "contract runs" Marble--On!!
