  1. Great color--great marble---I cannot call it though. The early ones elude me as far as ID goes. Once again, great images Fire, keep them coming! Marble--On!!
  2. Pelt for sure. Marble--On!!
  3. Good eye Fire, I have one of these waiting to get my attention/confidence to restore it. Lets just say that I got lucky. Research is the key as always. Marble--On!!
  4. I am pretty confidant that the ones with the x's are foriegn made.
  5. I circled one--are you sure that it is a cat?
  6. Great images by the way. That black and white one deserves a closer look imho. Never seen one like that.(upper right in the first image) Bogard made some black cats, Master glass did too. Marble--On!!
  7. Hmmm, good topic. I do not think that I have ever seen one. Marble--On!!
  8. This one is 11/16” and it just feels old to me. Thanks for any and all opinions. Marble—On!!
  9. Not "funky" at all. Once you see a few Pelts, this one becomes normal. Blowholes, dimples, bubbles, inlcusions, fire brick, etc. It is just part of the Peltier line of marbles and the way of things with them. Ya gotta love em! Backlight them all, Pelts hold many secrets. Marble--On!!
  10. I do believe that #5 is a Vacor as well, I just cannot come up with a name for it, they may have come as a frosted example as well. Nice marbles for sure. Marble--On!!
  11. Good luck Fire, sorting cats for me is like hearding them---get a good herding dog to help! Marble--On!!
  12. Here is a nice “Milky”Oxblood, just under ¾”, there are some inclusions in this one but I have found that “Milky’s usually have a problem here or there, folds, bad coverage, as made pollution, etc. There must have been a very long run of these and the sorters just got bored. A flawless milky is a good find imho. This one has great coverage and I do keep it in a drawer—one of my best. Marble—On!!
  13. I think that Tommy is refering to the UV---two colors plus two colors of white---very cool imho--four colors if you count white. five if you count clear. Marble---On!!
  14. Yes it is Ric--great coverage in this one for sure. Akro--On!!
  15. I know what you mean-- Marble--On!!
  16. I am getting some Vitro vibes out of this one. Marble--On!!
  17. Wow, talk about hard to shoot an image—well I did it. These are cool to see spinning for sure; they really sparkle/light up. I got 40 seconds as a top spin—they almost balance on their own and with trial and error I do not doubt that they will. It is just a cool thing that you may come across someday. Marble—On!!
  18. That is a really great find SherryFain. One of Vitros finest. Marble--On!!
  19. Furnace marble---no doubt. Nice one at that!--A very nice one! Marble--On!!
  20. You do not have to admit that you ever fell for these; just admit that many folks did. I will admit that I did a bit of research before I fell into this trap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224878007474?hash=item345bc614b2%3Ag%3ABYUAAOSw4E9iKTSl&LH_BIN=1 Research —research, research. Put the good money on the good marbles and no not fall for the false traps---of course—these may be a collectable fake by now—just so you know, they are not from the Civil War. Marble—On!!
  21. These two have been in my set aside WVS for years. They just looked special to me so here you go. Call them what you like, I just call them old and cool. Any ID opinions are more than welcomed. Marble—On!!
  22. Ahhh temptations abound---I will hold my ground.. Of course--I do know how to do it with no damage to the original---maybe-lol. Marble--On!!
