chocomibs

It may have av, its so faint I can't tell if it's that or dirt/grit. No cold rolls. JABO? Das? If so, anyone know what run?

First might be Velligglas? 

Guh

Looks like a pelt to me

I think this one is a Peltier. Cool one. 

You're gonna send me on a rollercoaster saying that

I have one just like it that was throwing me off too

That's a blue tang. Sometimes the ribbons have another color 

Finding an old marble while digging has to feel great

Ground and polished Peltier Superman. Stay away.  The first picture shows  of half moons that have been ground half away. Also a chip with sharp edges where it was ground. The colors have been ground thin and burnt from the grinding to long and or got to hot because the liquid with the grinding grit ran empty. I agree there is white polishing compound left in the very small a deep not smooth places. The red color is brunt bad and stretched thin and so wide. That it looks like a Vacor.  

Ground and polished. 

Oh so that's why the colors are so muted? That's very interesting. And explains so much about how different it is. If I ever get one in hand this might make a lot more sense. Hearing you explain it really makes it clear you understand the process behind it.

Thank you all I passed on it. One day

@akroorka Do you think there is any chance someone polished a Vacor Serpent hoping to make it look more like a Superman - even a polished Superman? I am not used to seeing those dark-colored striations in the yellow (pic 2) on a Superman and I am thinking the polish may have burned that pinker red you see on some Serpents to this color, which certainly would make the marble look more like a burnt Superman than an obvious Serpent. I also don't recall seeing a Superman where any view of the marble would not show some yellow (pic 1). People could get pretty devious trying to turn a 25 cent marble into one they can sell for $50. Just some thoughts.

Wow that would be absolutely Diabolical

I agree more like a Peltier than Ravenswood.

 

Awesome I'm always glad to add another unique one to the pelt box! This is even better than a raven to me.  Though I still am hunting for one haha

Thanks everyone

My first though was I think that chocomibs meant to say CAC.

These colors are in the CAC pallette.

Why not a CAC?

I appreciate all opinons---

Marble--On!!

Ohhhh yes thank you, I get those two mixed up often. Which i assume is what CAC intended haha

This little snake tongue is what made me think Alley FWIW

 

Maybe that's the missing second ribbon! Good eye!

Oh man I didn't even consider it might not be a superman. Thanks everyone.

This one may be a Superman--or not.

If I saw this one up for bid on ebay I would say that it has been polished.

There looks to be some polishing coumpound stuck in a few crevices and I also see what looks like polished out 1/2 moons in the first image.

We cannot always go by the finish on any marble but this surface looks a tad out of wack to me.

Marble--On!!

 I was reading your old posts about polishing to try to get an idea haha

A Canadian transitional would be a new one for me too. I'll have to see if I can learn more about those.

They said there's a group of transitionals that came from Canada but aren't defined as being made in Canada as of yet. Another person chimed in from Canada and agreed.  If I find something on them il share it!

Wow that's beautiful

it was an assumption from the 9 looking swirl and nobody corrected me yet is what it boils down to. Kind of just using it colloquially. I've been going off books and trading to learn about this for some time now and I hit a wall on some ids. Someone else just told me last night it's a Canadian transitional, they seemed v knowledgeable about it. Another new one for me

Why are you telling people it is a MFC ? 

Looks mk to me too

Yeah there's a section of the glass that is discolored, I wouldn't call it intentional. Maybe that's what's throwing me off. No av unfortunately:)
