It is a Jabo. It is a swirl. That is the first trait.  I have never seen a Peltier Green Rebel swirl. I have not seen many Vitros this size swirl. Large Vitros can and do swirl sometimes. Most all Vitros this size show two cut lines.  Jabo has made lots or marbles with translucent brown and red. Jabo has made marbles of about every striping color possible. Jabo has produced  lots of marbles with four colors, with five and six colors. I have seen them added. Plus added some 4 & 5 myself.  I see no Peltier trait and very little if any Vitro traits.  Thanks Cheese. I was not going to dig any out. 

Thanks Ron, your input and knowledge is always extremely appreciated

Just went and scooped around in my big plastic tub-o-jabos and pulled a few out to help ease any uncertainty. Cell phone pics, sorry.

Thank you very much for taking the extra time pulling those out as it is much appreciated and extremely helpful

Vitro Parrot. Many companies made the V pattern. Akro made lots of V pattern.  It was not intentional. It is caused by a short length glass stream from the furnace orifice to the shear.  The Parrot was plant manager Blaine Lemon's favorite marble. Every time I saw and talked to him, he had Parrots in both front pants pockets.  If he was wearing his usual bib overalls or dress slacks, he had his Parrots with him.  

Thanks for that Ron. I hope you have at least 1 book in the works as I am sure you could pump out many many many.

Sick!

Peltier Blue panda? That's what I immediatly saw but I am clearly not great at ID's lol still fun too chime in Nice marble either way for sure.

As a postscript, I did see the 9 hole Jaques set sold at Block's auction.

I hope the buyer ($1,100 plus fees!) realised that they were buying a set with incorrect marbles! The auctioneer surely will have known this and it was disappointing that it was not mentioned in the item description!!

Sorry I get a bit grumpy about these things😒!!

Here's my real original sets to round off my comments in this thread😊

ope, I think I answered my own question lol, was it just that they were supposed to be 1-9? I hadn't even noticed that till now...

I am a bit confused as to what was incorrect about the marbles on block, like to know just for future reference, thanks a ton:)

Wow, extremely informative, thank you very much!

I'm assuming opaque means no light passes thru.  I have 3 hanging 1955 Rotoflex lights over my dining room, on a dimmer, so I can really replicate the early dim lightning!  But I'm sure they could take them out into the daylight or hold them up to a dim light and see translucent.  Would be surprised if they didn't know what kind of marble they were marketing.  Nontheless, using my LED flashlight,  no light passes thru.  Do I not have Master Comets....?🤔 

.  5/8"

Great photos:)

I believe the top ones are called Orcas by Vacor De Mexico but could be wrong

All Vacor De Mexico

The Block’s auction marble sold for $110 + an 18% buyers commission and was graded a 9.9.

That was labeled as Master, but it was different, Swirly and opaque... looked like the champion version to me unless i looked at wrong one?

Killer ! Top Shelf for sure 🔥

Any idea on the possible value of mine, I have someone wanting to purchase it but I feel the offer may be a bit low but honestly have no clue as I can't find any sold anywhere so far. Thanks

Video using cell phone in the sunlight... hopefully this helps some.
