One more today I promise. :-). Peltier Tequila Sunrise?
akroorka replied to DRCtrent's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This one appears to be a Pelt "Clear Based Rainbo". These days many names pop up and I for one am not familiar with the name " tequila sunrise". Your marble looks like it should have come from a dig--rare for sure with Pelts--but true imho. The marble itself looks as though it is "Mint as found" with no damage other than the folds and creases that define it. Thanks for sharing this one--pretty cool! Marble--On!! -
Hello Meep and welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Size always matters in marble ID. Crisp clean images help a lot. I have no doubt that what you show is an Akro Agate marble--it probably will glow under blacklight quite nicely. This one is old and very cool. Thanks fo sharing it and keep them coming. Marble--On!!

Vacor "Bengal Tiger" imho. Nice find--nice marble!
-
Image #1 with that blue line is just killer. The blue even shows up in the lashes--very cool. I have seen this blue line thing before--it just shows up in some Akro marbles ( I hate to even say this but I will--I call this blue stuff "Blue Oxblood" in my little pea brain--it kinda acts the same as oxblood imho) Cool stuff! Marble--On!!

Liberty marbles do not generally have Oxblood involved--this one is just special! I was just going through the end of the day here checking for bad stuff in "Activity" and I was was locked on again to this one. I would have no Problem calling it a "Liberty with Ox" involved. These big ones never act like the smaller ones. Nice find Fire! Marble--On!!

Your images take a hhhmmm marble to a greater thing. This one is a Hmmm--not too great. WVS of some make or model is my assumption. Nice job! Marble--On!!

Akro imho---nice find! Marble--On!!

I think that this one is an Alley Agate---swirl--- Marble--On!!

I am having trouble deciphering what you are asking here. What you show is an Akro Patch imho. Marble—On!!

I have had marbles sold without my consent--by my wife during a rummage sale. I told her one jar at a time--they sold so quick that she took it it to herself to fill a few more jars---well too many--- from my stock in the basement---bad juju for sure--she picked the wrong bucket for sure---well, we are still pals and married. I will never see them again--nuff said. Sorry for your loss--really I am, it still hurts a bit---oh well it is always something! Marble--On!!

Hello--hello---hello, is there anybody in there?--I ask this to myself all of the time. I am listening now--great song! 😁--Marble--On!!

You may be but there are younger that log in here. That is why we keep it clean here @TheMarbleConnection. Check out Pink Floyd and the lyrics--I may convert you to some older music. Marble--On!!

I would be proud to keep this one with my Akro collection--very nice! Marble--On!!

I don’t know much about marbles, but I found some interesting ones

Cool video--I like the sound. Jabo Classics are a much later version of what have become "Vintage" marbles. The value is limited to the design and coverage. Yours are basic imho. I agree with Chad G here. Marble--On!! -
imho this one is a Jabo---"Classic". Lets ask @Nantucketdink for an opinion here. Nice find--great colors!! Marble--On!!

Join the club my marble collecting friend---we have all been there and done that and I am sure that every collector here can remember their worst mistake. There are few stupid mistakes made when collecting anything unless you bet the house🤢. Just learning experiences😁. We all can convince ourselves of one thing or another when it comes down to a good deal. It is a very cool and beautifull marble--Probably a VItro.(Pelt would be a second choice here imho) Back up, learn from it and of course--- Marble--On!!
-
Yes, the possibilty of these all being Jabo--"Classics" is pretty high. Marble--On!!

Red is a hard find--for sure. Vaseline?? Not in my realm at least. Marble--On!!
-
This one is a WVS nice marble imho. No clue as to the maker. Marble--On!!

@Melissa? Marble--On!!

Yep! I am one of them Fire.. Size always matters in marbles ID. It is not an easy thing to ID marbles from images sometimes--this is one of those hard ones. --It is a Vacor Octupus imho. Vacor made quite a few runs of these--heck, they still might be making them. To ID any Vacor from one set of images is fruitless--they changed and changed again. The second image here does no good for the ID. Get it in the sunlight and give us a few more Please. Marble--On!!

New collector just joined to get help identifying some gems.

Welcome Lostmarbles, to TheMarbleConnection. Your images are a bit fuzzy but I think that you have a Vitro "Conqueror" here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!! -
I agree---Nice slag! Marble--On!!
