  1. I have not posted this one in a bit. It was missing for a few weeks--my wife found it in the washing machine--at least it is clean😁 I was 7/8"šŸ™ƒ. Marble--On!!
  2. All Pelt attributes for sure--I hope that it comes home and we can see some more. It looks like the furnace was on it's last legs making this one--maybe why it is such a rare one. Marble--On!!
  3. The Batman has him by the throat----Yes? LOL
  4. He is a bank teller--yes?
  5. I think that it is a nice Rainbo Fire. Marble--On!!
  6. WVS imho Fire. Marble--On!!
  7. Rainbo works for me too. Cool stuff. Marble--On!!
  8. Pretty cool Fire--"one of a kind". Marble--On!!
  9. "Backlight them all" is one of my favorite sayings. Marble--On!!
  10. Nice score Mojo! That clay (china) is a killer size. Those velis are not too shabby either--very nice! Marble--On!!
  11. Grape nuts on ice cream yummmmm!
  12. No copy and paste here😁. I think that you have a Peltier slag there. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  13. Yes, I just copied and pastedšŸ˜„. This is a machine made slag--there is no hand-gathering is obvious to me. I would sort it as an Akro. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

  15. I agree with Chad. There are stress cracks on this one that occured during the annealing process (the cooling down period after the marble was off the rollers). I have seen plenty of Heatons with this feature. Swirl not slag for sure! Marble--On!!
  16. I would not count it out, Akro made some oxblood that was more transparent than opaque CharlieT--a good observation for sure! Nice images mccracken, The fact that @Alan has a few like this makes me wonder. I am inspecting the damage on the marble, this usually will determine old vs newer. Newer glass in my experience is softer and more prone to little white hit marks. Jabo is a good example of these little whit hit marks. @Nantucketdink has a very good handle on Jabo marbles, he could clear this up for sure. There appear to be striated scratches not common to game play but more often found in a marble from a dig-site. @Steph may be right on the older WVS idea and @cheese and @Ric both have been on the digs and may offer an opinion. I see why mccracken though that it may be a Pelt—lots of bubbles. Experimetal marbles were not always cooked like production types and this may explain the ā€œbubbliciousā€ nature of this one. I am leaning towards a vintage dug marble, it may be from any number of dig sites imho. If @Fire1981 did not recognize it, then I doubt that it is a Pelt. We cannot ID them all—but we sure as heck can try. Thanks all!! Marble—On!!
  17. Welcome into the fold Diana. Good to see that you admit the truth. Marbles are a tuff egg to crack. We are all looking forward to some images as Chad suggests. Marble--On!!

    19/32,

    Thanks cheese, it is a nice one for sure. Marble--On!!
  19. Tricky for sure and it could be vintage or--- The vaseline colored glass and the one cutline that I can see reminds me of some Akro that I have seen. That being said--it may be easier to determine if both cutlines are shown. Natural sunlight please. Marble--On!!
  20. You are probably talking about some sort of pollution but I agree with Tommy---- Post some images. Marble--On!!
  21. Good to see you back off Melissa. You cannot win them all! It is a great marble! One of the very best! That "woody" looking one that the seller has caught my eye--just not my bid finger😁. Marble--On!!
  22. The rwb one--- Vacor ā€œPatriotā€, ā€œRehileteā€ or ā€œUSAā€, Those ā€œUSAā€ Vacors are my pick for your marble. @Mojo , @Joe2 and @Melissa have a great handle on Vacors and I hope that they show up to give you a definite answer. The yellow on white---is a wvs imho—I will call it a Champion until corrected by @cheese or @Chad G.—perhaps @Ric will chime in ( I wish that he would--) Marble—On!!
