That is one very nice/rare box of game marbles Ron. Thanks for showing it. Marble--On!!
-
This glow may not make it valuable but it does make it desirable. If I had to choose between this and any other variety of game marbles I will always go with the glow--I love the glow! Show the cutlines/seams in any other marbles that you may post--it is a great help. Size matters as well. Glow--On!!

Many companies world-wide made patch marbles like this one. If I found it in a lot, I would sort it as a Vitro. I could be something else but that is the way that I would sort it. I have read that Vitro sent some different color combo's overseas vs those sold in the US--this could be one. It looks like a nice clean marble non-the less. Marble--On !!!
-
I would not call this one a Vitro Mojo. If I came across it in a lot of marbles I would call it Asian. It does have a cool streak of oxbloody looking glass in in. A keeper for sure. Marble--On!!
-
Here are two nice ones. No names or ID from me, I just like them. Opinions are welcome of course. Is there a descriptive name given to the three fingered swirl apparition in the last one? I have seen this in a few different marbles and I wonder what it may be called—if anything. Marble—On!!
-
Thanks Chad, I would call the base semi-opaque. The stripe looks more like an oxblood than a green. Who knows what it is. I spent a lot of time with it so I will just mark it up as "close but no cigar" but will keep on keepin on👍. Marble--On!!
-
I agree that yours is very similar to the last image in the OP. I am OK with "a weird rebel variation" for sure. Marble--On!!
-
Ok Pittsburgh. The last image tells the truth and I will pull my Buttermilk teeth back in😁 Nice Peltier marble for sure!!
-
I always say no to my dogs when I drop a marble--they are always right on it🦴. 😁Marble--On!!
-
I would lean towards Akro on this on. I do not see CAC at all. Marble--On!!!

Hi Dave, this is just a reach on my part looking for a reaction. I know that there are clear based Pelts referred to/nicknamed as, Ketchup and Mustard and Dragon, both pretty rare. Why not A Rebel? The three in question have all of the needed colors afterall. Good question, no good response. Just looking to rattle a few windows to get a better ID for the OP. Marble--On!!
-
I will always challenge black in any marble. Black is blue, brown, green, purple and a few others. Of course, I appreciate the opinion that you have given---finally, someone stepped up to this ID—lets see some more with some knick-names or company names applied. I still think that the last one is a Vitro Buttermilk. I just call them like I see them. Thanks, and Marble—On!!
-
I just love these big MFC slags and can never see enough of them---they do come bigger. What size is yours? I sold a big one years ago and have regretted it ever since. Love it--Lets see some more of these👀. Great find!!! These are rare--hold on to it, or regret it IMHO. Marble--On!!

I am not a Peltier expert but I consider Peltier Marbles to be my second choice in collecting after Akro Agate. The Peltier collectors have named so many marbles with nicknames that it is very hard to keep up with them and I do not blame you for asking for a name for the ones that you posted. Sometimes a misidentification is the only thing that will get a response, so here I go. I am not afraid to call them like I see them. Image one shows what I would call three “Clear based NLR Rebels”—very rare. Image two shows what I would say is a “NLR Translucent based Rebel”—not very common. Image three shows what I think may be a Vitro Buttermilk---a very nice marble to own. Of course, I welcome any other opinions and hope to see some, I challenge all Pelt-Heads or others, to chime in. Marble—On!!!

COME—ON PELT-HEADS LETS LIGHT THIS PLACE UP!!! DO NOT LET A CORK-HEAD LIKE ME TAKE OVER THIS TOPIC. I have this one identified as a Honey Onyx. This is a pretty rare one, in my experience at least. 9/16” Tell me what you think. Marble—On!!
-
Is this one considered a Tracer? 5/8" It was included in a lot that included Tracers of the exact same color combo. This one is just laid out a bit different. Thanks for any input, Marble—On!!
-
This is a nice one at 7/8”, not quite as nice as it was but still--- I am sorry to say that I wanted to post it earlier in the year, ran out of time and put it in my pocket. I misplaced it for quite awhile. I searched and searched figuring that maybe I lost it while picking up leaves on the lawn until my wife found it in the wash machine drum seal catch-all ----ooops. 1,000 RPM and still looking pretty nice. Check your pockets everyone---well, at least I did not drop it on the garage floor. It came out pretty clean at least---springtime fresh as well! Marble—On!!!
-
That Vitro blue is hard to beat---nice find!! Marble--On!!
-
The first image is a great marble--then you have three---excellant. I have a few marbles from my grandfather and they are cherished. Nice group no doubt. No names from me except NICE!!! Marble--On!!
-
I would have to say not Akro due to the backlighting--too electric of a red, Akros are darker cherry when backlit. This one looks bitter cherry vs sweet. Spoken from a true Cherry lover—bitter or sweet. CAC imho. Nice one!! Marble--On!! and Cherry one as well!!!
-
Here is another set of those large Vitro Game marbles. They do backlight the same as yours and they have the same whitish swirling included that yours show. I believe that the same marbles may have been included in some of the “Master Jewel Trays” that Vitro produced. I think that Chad nailed it from the start. Marble—On!!!
-
Al, It took awhile to get mine and I ordered it a few days before I posted this subject. Yes Tommy, I have a few for sale as well🤑. Nice images. Prices of the distant future perhaps. Marble--On!!
-
I have posted these before and I have one left--the crappy one. My youngest grandkids(5 and 6 years old) really liked them. Not only do they glow but if you shine a light on them the light up like a firefly in natural light. My youngest grandson took a laser light that we use with the cats and started lettering his name on them. They both always want to see my "marble room" and I always try to have something that they can take home with them, the bigger the better. I love this stuff! Marble--On!!
