  1. Yes Lumbo---not a Pelt---no way---never, not even close! Sometimes we get so carried away that we may forget the original question . There are a whole bunch of marble nuts here and you may have to sort through the responses to get a good Idea. This was a great post and by you and I recognize what your original question was. Keep them coming, my marble collecting friend. There are very few marbles or questions that we will shy away from here. The one that you posted is a Nice Alley Agate Swirl😃. Marble—On!!

    Vitros

    I do not see Vitro here, but I do like a Bump Up!! Marble--On!!
  3. I think that this one may be an Akro. These blue and yellow colors really did not corkscrew well together. Just my thoughts--- Marble—On!!
  4. Here is a nice pile of Akro ā€œFlintiesā€. The dark green one is 11/16ā€. I just love these marbles. Marble—On!!
  5. A nice Champion Furnace marble without any fractures is a very good find indeed. Here is a bunch from a digger that I like—not too shabby imho. Champ made some nice ones! Marble—On!!
  6. I do not think that it is a Vacor. It is not a Peltier marble. I do not agree with CAC. I have seen a few of these big ones and I always thought that were Alley Agate. There is one buried in this set of images. More opinions are welcomed/needed. Marble—On!!
  7. They don't look familiar to me at all. I wonder if you have a group of Akro ā€œexperimentalā€ here. A lot of strange stuff came out of the ground at the Akro site. More opinions are needed with this group. Nice ones though! Marble—On!!
  8. I agree with Alan--far from antique and more than likely a Vacor from Mexico. Marble--On!!
  9. Almost a Jinx---lets just call it one😓 Fire. Marble--On!!
  10. The blue and yellow were an argument for some time--Vitro vs Akro-- until a digger revealed were they came from---many, many, many, of these were dug in this color. Any Corkscrew will show up as a patch--including Pop-eyes in any color combo---just they way of things in the machine marble made world. Blue and yellow patches are pretty common---the rest are not. Marble--On!!
  11. I would have to call these Vacor ā€œBlack Panthersā€ made in Mexico. Nice marbles! Marble—On!!
  12. This is a tuff one Leigh but I will call it a Master Made Marble. As always, more opinions are needed and appreciated. Nice one! Marble—On!!!
  13. I like to say or type Champion sometimes. These are great images! It is a very nice example of a WVS. Great colors! Marble--On!!
  14. This one is a "classic" Akro Agate Popeye Patch. Most of these were dug from the Akro Site. Nice marble-- Marble--On!!
  15. Here it is again Gladys, If you did not get a proper ID I urge you all for some proper input on this one. It is a very nice marble. Marble--On!! https://marbleconnection.com/uploads/monthly_2022_06/_DSC1583.JPG.562cd895b05af9c026f3ef54413ab9ad.JPG

    Tricky

    LOL, I will stick with my original ID. Pelts can be tricky! My second guess would be VacoršŸ˜† but it would be a far from second--Vacors can be tricky too. Marble--On!!
  17. Chad is right on. But as I always say---backlight them all--this one looks special. Marble-On!!
  18. I did not want to spend anytime outside yesterday---95 and quite humid---I still did my thing though---sweat with no relief. Marble-On!!

    Tricky

    Well--- if you know what it is, I see a challenge coming and I am always up for those. I just love this stuff---challenge on—Fire has pretty thick skin🐘. Give the opinion that you think and do not look back. Marble—On!!
  20. This is a nice bunch and they could have all came from the same run imho. Multicolored swirls are not predictable. Plenty of folks have experienced this first hand during the Jabo Contract times. This is of course just my humble opinion and more opinions’ are always welcomed. Marble--On!!
  21. Here is the one that I am talking about, I circled it. Vacor marbles can be a tuff ID sometimes--they are what they are, just like any machine made is. The colors in the big ones do not always show up as they should or do in the smaller ones. A well colored biggie is always a bonus in a Vacor marble. As always, this is just my opinion and I welcome any others--this is what I love--and what I learn from---I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
  22. Yep---another nice one! Marble--On!!
  23. Nice one Fire! marble--On!!!
  24. I always knew that these would become collectable, that is not why I kept them though. They are just very nice looking marbles—I just love them, I just do not know them by name/company . (I really do not care; I collect what meets my eye). I have a good eye for WVS and almost talked myself into an ID post today that turned out to be a Vacor Velociraptor, hours were spent and I enjoyed every moment. Research paid off once again—I just Love the ID section because I am always learning from it. Marble—On and collect what you like as well!!!
  25. It would be a stretch--- a very nice Pelt marble regardless of my opinion, Marble--On!!
