Hello and good morning. Going thru what I thought were transitions
akroorka replied to boris64's topic in Marble I.D.'s
The price on image one is hard to describe. If it is 102—stay away, at least in USA dollars. $10.20 would be all the money for sure. Most of the slag’s appear to be what we as collectors call “Japanese Transitional” types. There is one with a blue base that reminds me of a Vacor “Blue Jay”. The third imge far left with lots of white. There may be a few Akro corks involved but nothing worth more than $10. It is hard to tell looking through the bags. Marble—On!! -
It seems to me that I have seen this box with a label attached proclaiming something like "Picture Marbles". I may have seen it in a book or two. It may be a fake--or not. I will research later today if possible--the old back is feeling it today. Marble--On!!

These are not the feathered Pelts that we are all familiar with but that does not mean that they are not Pelts. These may be some that were "Hand-gathered" and/or "Jobbered". The history evades me at the moment. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!!

A Peltier Peerless Patch. Yours is not--it is a Vitro imho. Marble--On!!

CAC with lime green and purple undertones?
akroorka replied to StevenJustSteven's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I looked hard and long—enough said. Great images and I am seeing some cullet glass involved that is more than likely in the white that may be Opalescent. For this very reason I vote not CAC. More than likely a WVS but a very nice one. @Chad G. or @cheese may narrow it down. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!! -
You came and got answers--nothing better! Marble--On!!

We are all honest here and many do not want to comment on a bad buy—I will. I just hope that you got these for free. The big red one is a Vacor. There are many Vacor in this bunch. The top image may show an Akro that may glow (Imperial—the best in this bunch)—lower left in the top of the egg crate. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

Image one may be a "Helmet"—more images are needed—very cool looking with one image though. Image #3 may be a Peltier-PPP—more images are needed. The others are Vitro—not “Helmets” Imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

The dark and deep red in this one may throw many off. Marble--On!
-
I would sort this one as an Akro. Marble--On!!
-
Check out some of the newer Pelts! Marble--OIn!!
-
Your lighting is fired up but I agree with the second one. Marble--On!!
-
Vitro imho--- Nice one---nice find! Of course, I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!

For the most part "bricks" are opaque. Nice images--a rare one for sure--green brick? It may just well be one. Nice find none the less! Marble--On!!

Here are some more pics of this pelt patch. Very odd!
akroorka replied to boris64's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This one is a Pelt. It was more than likely intended to be a patch imho. The metal involved makes it rare imho---very cool!!! Marble--On!! -
@Steph posted some Anacortes Vitro lately. Check them out. Marble—On!!
-
Wisconsin of course---😁. Marble--On!!

I believe that you have more “Opals” than you think William. Each marble has to be backlit looking for a reddish/pinkish glow in the base glass. This will show up while backlighting them as you move the marble around over the light. Some are hard to ID—just get the base glass if you can and be rewarded. If yours is an “Opal” it is a very cool find—not really common imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

Ohhh- believe me--you have more than 6 Jabo in your collection. The Jabo “Factory Mades” (“Classics”) are like a little gnat that keeps folks amazed and confused—and bitten—all of us have been bitten by Jabo marbles for sure as far as ID goes. The Vitro from the times in the state of Washington are very similar—just not the same—in a weird way. @Steph opened a bag of Anacortes Washington Vitro—so did I—several-- just to get the jest of them all. Steph thought that it may naughty—not me—I just want to Marble—On!! The ID is the thing—sometimes a sacrifice is needed/warranted. Do what you must but keep on in the search and of course--- Marble—On!!

Nice Pelt Boris64! Marble--On!!
-
I can see why the purple one was ID'd as a Pelt--the tongue. This one needs more images but I would not doubt that it is a weird Rainbo. The grey AV patch needs some more images as well. My eye went right to the slags nice group! Marble--On!!

I like these too-the egg yolk yellow and the red along with the green base and the white--not so rare but very cool. Keep them coming William! I just love this stuff! Marble--On!!
