Those two with the blue are top notch patch types. Old and very cool--I hate to call them MK for some reason but I agree---very nice. The reddish one may be an Akro. Marble--On!!

Killer for a Rainbo---just killer. Marble--On!!

This jobber box of mostly Pelts ( at least two Corkscrews and one WVS are involved ) is shown as purchased, in the original Riker Display box that the previous collector had them stored in. This one came from an estate. Notice the fade lines on the box top—they line up quite well with the edge of the Riker box. Who am I to question/change this one? The previous collector treated them with care and respect; this may just be what the original jobber supplied in this box, who will ever know. It will stay the way that it is---just because. Respect the past collectors and of course-- Marble—On!!

I appreciate all that has been said. (good to see you back Chris) This type of sparkle/defect, whatever you may call it, will routinely show up in a green colored part of many makers and their marbles. We in the marble collecting world will more than likely refer to it as AV for many years into the future. Right or wrong, it is just the nature of this beast we are all involved with. Why does the green color carry this pollution/desirable defect, more than any other color is my question? Thanks all and--- Marble On!!

Six bucks for all three---great score Fire. I would almost feel guilty---almost😁. Marbles On!!

The one on the far left looks like a MK to me. The one on the far right may be a Pelt (bee family) does it have any AV? Marble--On!!

You have to love that Vitro eggyolk color---I sure do. Marble--On!!

Good reading bumblebee, I think that you know which one is my fave---no buttermilk for the OP🚫. I love this stuff--- Marble--On!!

Is there anything cuter than a baby Rhino---really?? Rhino On!!

Backlight this one Fire, It may open it up for you a bit. Marble--On!!

Finding an orange Slag is very hard for me to do. They are out there but when I compare them to a red one or an amber one I will almost always question myself. They may have been a crossover between the two colors. I believe that Akro made an orange slag and CAC as well, maybe even Pelt did. I have seen very few of any maker that I did not question. They are probably very hard to get a true image of. A true orange slag from any maker, worldwide, is a rarity imho. Marble—On!!

Well Fire, I took about 60 shots before I posted these. My eyes are still shot. I will get lasered next week. I have never heard of any blind marble collectors, I do not want to be the first one---but if that is what it takes--my dogs will help I am sure--lol. Marble--On!!

Fire, I can jump onto the Vitro train with yours. The OP has some hits that I would consider as a lately made marble(the last thirty years or so). It could be a Jabo. These strange ones always have me looking for damage. I believe that it is much younger than the Ghostley image that you may find in the OP.. I still love this nut the best!! Marble--On!!

I was going to post this one in the MK Monday thread. I have had it stored with my MK’s for years. This may be a better place. As always give me your best opinions, they are all appreciated and respected. Thanks, and Marble—On!!

Here is another one at just under 7/8”. I had always considered this one to be flawless and wondered if it may be a newer knock off. It does have facets, highly polished but still there. I thought, no way this one will shine light through it. It sure does and it shows a few hits as well. It helps to light these. I am now convinced of its age. Of course the hits could be faked but I am still happy with my findings. Agate On!!

Yes I agree--these slags can show up fully filled and some times almost naked. Nice blue! Marble--On!!

Thats a nice big Pelt Gladys. Marble--On!!

Some really great Images Fire. I love the pink. Marble--On!!

It is a nice big Jabo. A collectable of the not too distant future--maybe right now. Marble--On!!

Very ghostly, I saw a similar image in one of my marbles last week. I think that this one is a WVS gone wild—call the Ghostbusters!🥶 Marble—On!!

I think that you have a Vacor there my friend. Some form of a "Black Panther" They came in different color combos. Marble--On!!

Thats a nice little marble. Akro--on!!

Yes, the black and dark blue one. I would love to see more of that one(top image). The first one in the second row is very nice. They are all great to see. Marble--On!!

Thanks Ron, This may just be my spirit marble. We all take a lot of hits in life. I am still rolling on though. Retirement On!!

I truly believe that Gino Biffany was the very first Pelthead. RIP our old friend!! Marble on in his memory, that is the way that he would have liked it for sure!! What a great fellow he was. Keep on keepin on!!
