  1. I am thinking Master Made Marble here, looking at the cut marks. Masters are notorious for having eye-lashes. I am thinking this because of looking at the cut marks and the 1/3 coverage. Master Made Marbles more often than not have 1/3 coverage vs ½ coverage for an Akro. The eye lashes are just a result of dull shears with wear (such as a dull scissors) where the glob of glass was cut off before it was dropped onto the rollers. No name from me here. Just a nice Master Made Marble. Marble--On!!
  2. Well-not that great imho. This type, I ways always a sucker for--I love the color combo for some reason--just me I guess. These often show up with some Oxblood--intended or not they do show up more often than expected. I would hold off and wait for one of those for sure. Some can be quite heavy with the ox involved--- Marble--On!!
  3. Nice Rainbo--well filled! Marble--On!!
  4. Probably a Volcano by Vacor--nice one though! They are very similar to Pelts--especially this one. The "Bleed" between the the red and the dark is just too pronounced to call it a Pelt. Marble--On!!
  5. A nice big Akro IMHO. Marble--On!!
  6. Well it has to be here Wolf, You have been given many opinions here from a variety of seasoned collectors that disagree with you. If you continue to disagree--buy the dammed thing--a cute, larger sized Pelt--simple Rainbo. Stop it here, or I will--just move on--I urge you to. Marble--On!!
  7. It is not a Bennington imho. You may not know this but Bennies were made in the USA as well, by German immigrants as many hand made USA Antique clay marbles were (as well as galss). Hats off to your german friends for sure. @akronmarbles may have to settle this one here--I hope that he shows up to either shut me down or share some facts. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. I just love this marble and it deserves some attention--maybe it is a contemporary-I would hope not. Marble--On!!
  8. So do I, this one is realated to the "Tracers". Simple Rainbos that had a line of white included on the edge of the colors--just very special. A Pelt simple Rainbo that were named by Geno Biffany who lived in Ottowa IL and was the tops for Peltier collectors. He was a telephone technician and these white stripes reminded him of the color coded wires that he worked with. There is a name for these--I forget more than I remember @Al Oregon? Vey collectable imho. Marble--On!!
  9. I disagree here, this is not a "Burnt Cristmas Tree" imho. This is a crossover between a Christmas Tree with little color vs one with ox involved (pretty rare). A pretty weird and cool marble to find. We have all seen the weak ones as well as the fully filled ones--what a trip this one is. I just love it--and we all thought that they were different runs?? At least I did. Very nice share here Roberto. Marble--On!!
  10. You are right--go with your gut here. Just a nice clay--very nice! Marble--On!!
  11. These "Red Zebras" came in a much larger size with a few different shades of red involved. This type alway seems to hold it shape quite well regardless of size. lazy?--nope--it just fits. Marble--On!!
  12. Good eyes all, I agree with the final assessment. I had one of these go through the washer/dryer—bounced around but much cleaner—LOL. Yours was at the very least “Buffed quite a bit” mine is still clothes dryer mint—😁. Marble—On!!
  13. Net floats from the ocean?. Cool stuff though.
  14. Transparent Rainbo? I think so. Marble--On!!
  15. This one looks like a CAC to me. A striped something, either an opaque or a transparent imho. Nice find!
  16. Cool Clay--I have not seen one quite like it before. Nice share here. Marble--On!!
  17. Nice Rainbo--it is just falling a bit short on the red and yellow. A pretty cool marble though.
  18. Peltier Red Zebra?? Marble--On!!
  19. Pelt Rainbo to me at least. Marble--On!!
  20. Peltier CubScout imho. Another nice find.
