Here is a Master.
Yes, thats a Master.

Well, if the first swirl was debunked, then I would like to see reason to keep these in the Peltier "swirl" pile. I don't believe these swirls date that far back, but cannot prove it personally. Lumping marbles into the Pelt column because they contain aventurine doesn't seem plausible. Many swirl manufacturers as well as Master, Akro, and Vitro had aventurine. I just don't see how Peltier fits. Not arguing, and you are free to keep them where ever. Just my thoughts after a couple dozen years of collecting. I open to new info all the time.

I've always considered those Peltier but..... I wonder what Dave Mc would have to say. I have a few of them yet. Cool marble. David
I would be interested in why you think Peltier.
-
THere is an obvious swirl pattern in the ones like your first posted picture Steph. Mine doens't resemble a Pelt or Master in construction.
-
They are referred to as artifacts in the digital photography era too, so you are correct. JPEG artifacts are caused during the file compression.

If you are saying "huh" to my post, let me explain......the books are full of mis-info, especially the older ones. And you can only do so much with a photo. Handling marbles and marble shows is a way better learning tool for me. Your mileage may vary, and I am sure it does. If books blow your skirt up, thats cool by me.

For you car folks.... I'm cleaning out my side of the garage... Years of totes and boxes from co-op and ebay work stacked all over... To make room for the '65 Buick Skylark convertible project car my husband just bought...
Awesome! Congrats on the new to you folks Buick! Sweet looking car for sure.

Marble books are my last source of reference. I haven't cracked any of mine open in quite some time.

Jabo! well damnitman
Tell us about the Jabo Silver Ox?
Intentional non intentional is moot point and smoke screen talk in my opinion.
Heres my feeling on these kinds of marbles.
We should already know more about them.
Weather its a handful, a quart, a bucket, a box, there are marble collectors standing right there. When it spits out Two its not only worth mentioning to fellow collectors its the right thing to do.
Theses marbles will complicate I.D.ing as all marbles before them have done.
The makers know long before these questions come up, over e-bay marbles or on the board that, a particular batch of marbles is going to cause Xtra confusion.
Weather for profit or for the marble they belong to the owners and I guess they owe me no info on watch out fors
but I would think more of them if that is where I got my info.

Well, said David. Hopefully all the investors start opening up a little. You'd think they were working for the CIA the way some of them clam up.
-
Hope you find the good in everything. I just read what interests me and skip stuff that don't. Pretty easy to do.
-
I had to go re-read the posts. My bad, I thought I read that the photos were going to be posted on the other forum.
-
I say go ahead and do group shots and post them Bocci's site. Could be very informative. You are correct, I too think group shots would be a better representation.
-
What kind on Canon? I am assuming its not a point and shoot if you are monkeying around with the settings.
-
I bet that sure looks nice in a window! I haven't ever seen that much in old stained glass either. Is it original to the house?
-
Oh my! Those frogs are hilarious!
-
Reminds me of a "jasper" or "lined crockery".

Well I have around 50 Brass or Bronze lizards so, ummm where was I going with this? Oh yeah I have around 50 or so lizar... nope that's not it? Ah screw it....
I can live with Parrot lizard. Or music Lizard. Whoever musicnmib$ is has a great eye for marbles, and is almost as anal as I am when it comes to the grading and measuring of marbles. As well as a valued customer.
I'd actually like to see a group photo of said lizards. Cool collection now that I think about it.
-
THose Halliburton cases are very nice. Is it the one that are similar to the pelican cases? Very tough indeed.
-
Well, I know I would WANT to. LOL Depends on the price if I would or not.
-
Never get tired of looking at your collection or your great photography.
Awesome BT!

Did I hear Salazar
That is a great looking piece! I really enjoy the simple designs. Way more attractive to me than the overly busy (too much crap going on) marbles.
-
Everyone that smokes pot should have a brass lizard. LOL

My guineas have pretty solid coloration.

I just looked through my photobucket account hoping I had pictures of mine on there. (I am away from home). No dice. I will look on my other laptop this evening when I get off of work.
