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!!

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!!

You are right--go with your gut here. Just a nice clay--very nice! Marble--On!!

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!!

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!!

Net floats from the ocean?. Cool stuff though.

Transparent Rainbo? I think so. Marble--On!!

I agree. Cool find!!

This one looks like a CAC to me. A striped something, either an opaque or a transparent imho. Nice find!

Cool Clay--I have not seen one quite like it before. Nice share here. Marble--On!!

Nice Rainbo--it is just falling a bit short on the red and yellow. A pretty cool marble though.

Vitro--a Conqueror.

Peltier CubScout imho. Another nice find.

Great stuff Marco! Happy New Year to you and yours. Marble--On!! -
No--Shamrock--these are collector names--almost of them are when you are collecting marbles. Just for an example--Akro never named any of theirs as "Corkscrews" they had many company names such as "Prizenames" or "Spirals"-etc. never Corkscrews. Cac named some marbles but we do not know them by most of them--Guineas stood up as they should be--a true name by a true marble company. Most of the names that you will meet up with--maybe with the exception of Vitro are described by collectors names. Vitro was a late inclusion into the world of collectable machine made marbles and many kept the original name. Vitro was always the stepchild in the early years of collecting "machine mades". Pelt was the same--Pelt never marketed a Superman or a Super boy or any amount of names--they named their slag’s but never as "Feathered". Many companies marketed boxes that still stand up name wise but when you seperate an Akro marble out of a box of 100 "Prizenames"--it becomes a corkscrew. The WVS or any marbles were never named by the company that sold them with the exeption of Vitro. As an example, the owner named one of the greatest the--- ----well you tell me. Do some research and get back here to tell us some more, and show us what you have. Never be embarrassed here at TheMarbleConnection, you just do your best. Marble--On!!
