  1. No idea on the maker but it looks like a slag vs a swirl to me. Very few Pelt slags display feathering vs the many that they made. Look into the base amber glass and see if there is any feathering there that does not display as white. This is a more washed out amber that I am used to seeing in Pelt slags. It could be one af many makers though. Marble--On!!
  2. Were you doing some painting today Fire, or are those flakes of AV that I am seeing. Pee wee Pelt is good enough for me name-wise. Killer pee wee Pelt may be a better name. Great marble!! Marble--On!!
  3. This is the best way to display corkscrews imho. Preserve and protect--love it!! Marble--On!!
  4. Well, You just never know do you? I sorted this one as I was cleaning a recent lot from ebay containing a few corkscrews mixed in with a bunch of Cats and Vacors. A very pleasant surprise it was. 9/16 “ and in very nice shape. Sorry about the cat hair, it floats all over the house from my Ragdoll. Marble—On!!
  5. I have to correct the toe-breaker thing. This is just a nice big one--lol. Marble--On!!
  6. Well, the flash sure did not make these look like they do in hand (not much sunlight today). The yellow color steaks/covers the blue color making a wonky grey color. The flash exposed this. I am still convinced that this is what you have. Marble—On!!
  7. Imperial x3. Vacor made some that are similar to this one but the cut-offs are cleaner and the colors float on the surface more. This is another great example of eyelashes on a non-Akro marble. I love the Ghostly white stretch on the third image. A very nice wet looking marble in a toe breaker size. Marble--On!!
  8. Akro and Master had many similar color combos. Look for a one third fill, with seams like this and they are more than likely Master. Marble--On!!
  9. I think that both may be Akro corkscrews. Vacor made Roosters that mimic the first one but they do not go quite as deep, more of a surface thing with them. The Akro red transparent is a beautiful thing to look at. Marble--On!!

    Gasp! A very cool name. I did that everytime I walked outside a few days ago, -19 degrees will do that to a guy. Marble--On and stay warm as well!!

    Vitro

    I cannot say just what it is but it is a coral colored marble and I just love it. Great marble!! Marble--On!!
  12. Here are what I consider to be two “Lifesaver” corkscrews. I try not to play favorites, they are both very nice.(the one on the right-lol) Marble—On!!
  13. That is an Akro Oxblood patch my friend. Nice coverage on this one! Marble--On!!
  14. That green color shows up in a bunch of Vacor models. I could not pin a name on it though. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  15. I think that this one may be an Akro Corkscrew that went wrong. This blue and yellow combination often shows that wonky, muddy gray color. This one has a bunch of it. I will post some later today to show what I mean. Yours may be a double ingot, but I cannot realy tell. Marble-On!!
  16. I use theses two lights and have had them for some time. I would suggest head magnifiers over a lupe, my lupe always gets foggy.

  17. I love the "Glow"---Great marble!! Marble--On!!
  18. A double turkey is cool in any marble such as the OP. I think that it is a nice WVS of some sort and make. There are Turkeys in Mexico, your second one. These are the collectable marbles of the not too distant future imho. Marble—On!!

    MCS

    It is a Pelt MCS, no doubt. Were you in on a Pelt dig? Some really great stuff that you have posted lately! Marble--On!!
  20. Here is a link that I have posted lately. It shows some might rare Pelts along with some nice "clowns". I may have posted an "Orion’s Belt" back awhile without even knowing it--I'll have to do some digging. https://www.peltiermarbles.info/rare Marble—On!!
  21. That is one killer piece of cullet---love it! Marble-On!!
  22. Pelt Rainbo gone wild, as they often do. Marble--On!!
  23. I think that the .786" may be an Akro patch. Marble--On!!
  24. The first one is an Akro---I agree. Marble--On!!
  25. I agree with Ron, This one looks egg shaped and is kinda cool in it's own way. Marble--On!!
