No worry Nate, the Pelt Heads will kick the can on this one. I am not a name/category guy--just an ID guy. Breaking them down into categories is just not my thing. Too many marbles and too much to remember--. Marble--On My Friend!!

I received this marble from Leigh today. I am convinced. I took some images under liquid in my faithful eye cup. It may look out of round but it is under liquid in an oval eye cup so bear with it. 5 twists on both sides------ slightly opalescent white---hardly any external seam—1/64” out of round—it could have dropped as a ¾”. It measures from ¾” to slightly over that. The white reacts under UV as very slightly pink. The damage looks like it came from play so not from a dig imho. I have no ¾’” Akro marbles like this, one 5/8” with five twists that does display closely. Yes it is beat up a bit but it is a keeper—unless of course Chad wants to see it---then it is yours to keep. Your choice brother—eat the popcorn bag or get a free marble—I know what I would do. Shopping bag with butter and salt will keep me happy! Marble—On!!

Well, This is a good reason why collector names confuse me so much. What about this marble makes anyone think of a Polar Bear. The colors are right for the collectors name but I am not so sure that it qualifies as one. I will call it a nice Rainbo. As always, more opionions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!

Nice BEN, Grandpa was obviously into it all and I mean all—all over the place. He obviously loved all marbles. Treat those Master Made Marble boxes with great care. They are not a real common thing to find in that size. The Vitro Blackies bag is a great bag too. Keep them coming! Marble—On!!

Great images Leigh. The one on the left is a Peltier Rainbo. The one one the right got me a bit excited but after working on it a bit the reddish tint is from your background, I thought that it may be oxblood—not. It is more than likely a “White” slag with pollution from the run/machinery included. It may be an Akro. I am figuring that both are around 5/8". Size always matters. Both are pretty cool marbles—no individual “collector” names from me though. Marble—On!!

If those are in glass---well---very cool indeed. Make sure that you let us know. I figured not glass as well. Marble--On and good luck!!

Some nice ones Fire! Marble--On!!

Hello Reconzero and welcome, I would like to see some more images of these three. One looks like a nice”Coral”. Keep them coming and Marble—On!!

Welcome BEN, Keep coming back and continue to show us what you have found. We all love this stuff. Marble--On!!

These are all tuff ones Mojo. Those are some big cut-marks---really big. Vitro or MK???--neither imho. I believe that they are from your neck of the woods---European, not Asian---maybe South American---just odd for me. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On my friend!!

I never met the man but I am sad at hearing about his passing. Here are a few of his marbles in his honor. The first one was the most fun that I ever had at a show. I knew that it was not a Pelt or a Vacor but I just had to know. “Not a Pelt” was repeated many times by many collectors, some even said that is a weird Pelt Superman— until one fellow collector said—you know what?—I think this is a Scott Patrick marble. I researched his marbles for quite awhile after that event and of course I had to get a few more. What a Rascal he was and it was quite evident that he loved being so and quite evident after some extensive research what he loved to do---be a Rascal, my heart goes out to those who knew him and loved him as well. Marble—On!!

Not too Shabby once again, Another great looking Pelt. Marble--On!!

Hello Ric, Long time no see! 3/4", 5/8"and 9/16", I have sought after these for years always thinking that they were an odd older Vitro. Thick, very thick veneer and colors like I show. They are not too common, that much I will say. Thanks and Marble--On!!

Thanks Ron and Ric, Here is a bunch of them---all Jabo? Thanks and Marble--On!!

That is a nice marble for sure Nate. Keep them coming and, Marble--On!!

X2 Master Tiger Eye. That is a nice marble and not too common either. Marble--On!!

I have never seen UV in blue on an Akro before let alone with Oxblood included. Just KILLER!! Marble--On!!!

Welcome Nate, Show us what you have. Marble--On!!

X2 Nice marbles! Marble--On!!

I have never seen them named. Those are pretty nice examples though. Marble--On!!

I agree. I have seen a number of these twisted up Rainbos, they are nothing special--just different. Most had to be compared with other marbles in the same lot to make me a believer until I got used to seeing them. This is just the way of machine made marble making, sometimes things just go wrong---or different. And we all like different😁 . Marble--On!!

X2 on the left one---Nice Pelt on the right! Marble--On!!

Well what more than is there that I can say---Not too Shabby, Killer, Top notch--- Nice one for sure Carowill !! Marble--On!!

Slow down my marble collecting friend! And keep coming back. If that was the worst that I ever did--well it is not my worst for sure, what can I say. Marble on and keep the skin thick. All opinions, mistakes and ideas are always welcomed here. Marble-On!!

Ann, We can both agree that it just a beautiful blue on white marble. I love the combo. Marble—On!!
