I have always had an eye for Peltier marbles. I would trade any Pelt for a good Akro. This one just told me what I know and have experienced through research and the grind of wanting to know just what or what may be. I will never forget my first and probably best ever marble find/gift. I have a friend who knows what I collect and gave to me with love, a whole bunch (a big bunch) of killer Pelts along with others---I would not accept the gift. She knew why about $8000 later. Pelts were really hot when I sold them for her (most of them are still really hot)--keep your friends and of course----keep a few Akros in the the very least. (She did not mind and I did tell her about my very first Akro Sparkler that I kept—still my favorite) I love this stuff and have no regrets---- Marble—On!!

Carowill inspired me for this thread with his image of him laying back in his Lazyboy with his cat. Show your cats eyes, your dogs eyes, pigs eyes, birds eyes, cows eyes-etc etc etc, your favorite critters. Shown them and post some marbles with them, not just cateyes--- we all love them all—you know what I mean. I am showing my cat Ragnar and some shots of a Vacor Jaguar. I know what these remind me of--do you? I will never forget Ragnar facing off with a fox in my front yard--he won and the fox flipped me off--No cat dinner for him that day! Marble—On and Critters/Pets on as well!!!

Yes Fire--from Wisconsin. There is no high-jacking a thread--just great discussion. Marble--On!!

When I retired, we had a huge rummage sale. We had several families included. One family had many Native American items that were collected by a since dead relative and these attracted one very informed collector who purchased many items and gave us more than expected, not just in cash but in information---a great collector he was. I thought that this was a Native American bow drill cap. He backed off claiming that it was just a freak of nature. I still wonder given all of the knowledge that he provided that day. This is what drives many collectors—the wonder, and in many cases, not the value but the origin. I still wonder. You will always be questioned regardless of your experience---This is the way! Collect on and wonder on as well!!!

These two images are what convince me of it being a Peltier marble, an older one. This fold/seam/elongated stream thing is a not so common thing with Pelts—I do not see it in Vitros. Marble—On!!

There were a few other marble makers in Mexico besides Vacor and I am wondering if this bunch may be from one of them. They are cats and quite a variety of colors. No UPC or warnings/choking hazards and nothing on the back of the Header/Tag. I purchased it because I never saw it before, the wording, ALRO. Thanks for any and all opinions . Marble—On!!

Vacor Picasso?---- I think so. Marble--On!!

Yes, a nice Marble King. Marble--On!!

You will get it--sooner than later. I love this color combo--this one always catches my eye. Marble--On!!
