peltity pelt pelt pelt!

But don't ask me the name.

Something seems odd about the base glass.  Plus there's some extra green going on.   I'm gunshy on Pelt names!

 

The base glass kinda threw me too. I think the green is just a result of where the yellow thins out over the base. But I'm no expert... Regardless of a name, it's def Pelt, huh? Cool beans!

Listed as a Tri-Lite, which I disagree with, but what is it? Vitro? Akro (I'm leaning towards beach ball type Akro patch). 0.629"

I made a knee jerk purchase thinking it to be a Vitro of some sort, but whatever it is,  like it!

Exactly  5/8ths

I took it for granted it was a Pelt, now I'm not so sure. I think I'm in ID overload.

Trivial fluke.  Someone on eBay trying to turn a nickel marble into something special.  

Thanks. I knew it! Now I'm seeing why folks get so hung up on names.

9/16ths.  Is this just a fluke where all the vanes are on 1/2 of the marble or was this done on purpose? It's a strange question, but I swear I saw one that someone had it described like it was special in some way. Probably just trying to make a buck on the bay.

Sorry for the errant hair. 5/8ths

Just a little over 1" w/ a little opal floating in clear glass at one pole.

I admit I’m not really into contemporary marbles, but this cats eye by Ray Laub really caught my eye and I had to buy it. What is your favorite contemporary?

I can see why you had to have this one. Gorgeous!

Thanks guys!

Are there any that stick out here as NOT being a Jabo Classic?

They are all 1/2" to 9/16" or thereabouts. 

Thanks!

That 5th one is sporting more than just a little butt crack. Heh.

Thanks!

How can I tell the difference on this marble? 9/16ths

There's an as made messed up spot there as well.

Thanks 

What a tremendous loss to his family and the marble collecting family as a whole. My deepest condolences to his loved ones. This is a sad day indeed.

I can see why they are favorites, Tri Lites are very good glass and good colors. Vitros can be habit forming. 

Amen!

Kinda like a twisted up cat, but the ghost like wispy filaments are making me think otherwise.

For sure.  They made marbles a long time. At 200 per minute 24hrs a day, each machine, 12-15 machines, from 1931 until 1986 is a lot of marbles.  Take out a few days off or holidays or breakdowns.  Do the math, get a calculator.  

Holy smokes. That's A LOT of marbles. Just astounding

Thank you!

Thanks guys!!

Trying to find it's family members to group together. Stumped again.

1/2 ‐ a peewee!

This one has a clear base, but it's pretty much all covered in white. There is a very light lavender, almost gray-looking, and 2 diff shades of blue, with one just being 1/2 and under the other blue patch. I had with my tiger eyes. Am I right on this one?
