Wonky Peltier Rainbo I think.

Interesting.. I wonder where they're getting the name from. Maybe one decided to use it and the rest picked it up to help them sell better? Hard to tell if they are really the same color combo or not, they seem different but then again these things vary a lot. My knowledge on Pelts is extremely limited so I can't say much more. With such nice colors, it'd be surprising if there wasn't a name given to these, at least the first one. Maybe someone else will know more.

I asked it about a "Fire & Ice" ID and said such a marble did exist. I asked it to verify its info as I was not seeing sufficient evidence in the sources it gave me, and it responded by essentially saying most of the references to that ID are from selling and auction sites and that it doesn't appear in actual identification sites... so it's likely not a widely accepted name in the community. Either way it's still a beautiful marble and I think that name suits it.

Is there a source for that info or did you get it from an AI? I know that there are some AIs that link sources they take from for answers. I'm just curious where the info may have been taken from as a lot of AIs are happy to "go along" with things you ask about and make it sound more factual than it really is. Perplexity AI always gives sources I think, so that would be the best one to ask about something like this so you can fact check what it says

An awesome one 🫢

A pretty one if so 😯

2x All Red, they have a lot more variation than you'd expect. These three are actually very similar to each other when compared to others I've seen. They're nice examples 🙂

Oh interesting... Vitro was my first thought when I saw it, guess my gut was right after all. can a specific ID be applied to this type? Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone, been awhile since I posted but I'm starting to take interest in my collection again apologies once again for suboptimal photo quality, I'm hoping this ID will be simple enough though. this is a roughly 23mm shooter - just shy of an inch. It has some playwear in the form of nicks with I assume dirt in them, I haven't tried cleaning it. the glass doesn't seem to be the best quality, you can clearly feel the "ridges" between the yellow and blue in some spots. Not sure what you call that, but basically it's not perfectly smooth and would not have been even if it was mint. Photo 8 shows what I'm talking about clearly, the first of the sunlit photos. Pretty much all of the green has aventurine and sparkles. It's not crazy deep or anything, but is clearly distinguishable and obvious. Out of my small collection, this one probably has the most AV. It does not react to UV/blacklight beyond just highlighting the blue, which I expect is normal for that color. With the glass quality, I'm starting to think it's just a modern Vacor, but I wouldn't have expected such obvious AV in one, nor the single consistent bold blue stripe wrapping around fully. I can't see any orange peel. Thanks for your time!

Video works for me. I'm out of my league as far as an I.D. goes, but I do notice a slight dent/dip on the surface, at around the 6 second mark. I don't remember the terminology for those imperfections... Cold roll? Just thought I'd mention it - awesome marble.

Awesome marble - not much more I can say.

I believe there is one Vitro All Red (red, white, yellow) in the mix, and possibly a Marble King with the fat yellow stripe, though I'm not sure on that one. Some of them could be West Virginia Swirls but can't tell from just these angles.

Alley Bacon perhaps?

My first instinct would be Akro as well... but what do I know

Thanks for the input guys, I'll be keeping it with my Akros.

Akro is my best guess at the moment. apologies for the poor quality, I hoped to get better photos but couldn't get them off my other phone. I can at least say that these photos are color accurate. some are taken in indirect sunlight, others taken using flash. the base (the white half, not actually sure if that is the base technically) is a very very faint blue, and becomes normal white in some spots near the patch. there is also a strip of yellowish tan on one end of the patch. there are a few cracks and one chip on the marble, but they likely aren't visible in any of the photos. there is a "dent" visible in photos 7 and 8 at the seam. it is likely a manufacturing defect, though I'm not sure how likely that is on an Akro. the marble is somewhere around 16mm or 17mm. All help is appreciated!

the middle two marbles look like Vitro All Reds, the top marble could be a Vitro Caged Cat's Eye, the far right marble is likely either Vitro or Marble King but it's difficult to tell without more angles. The blue on the left looks like it may be a West Virginia Swirl, though I wouldn't be able to name the maker. The green speckled one is most likely either a foreign marble or a Vacor. Welcome to the Marble Connection!

I have one with I believe a similar pattern that I keep with my Jabo's, but it's hard to say, I never got an ID on that one I don't think. So not really helpful.

I'm not a professional, even less so when it comes to marbles this old, but I can at least give an early response. The marbles in the first photo are glazed clay marbles called Benningtons. They are imported from Germany, I think from between 1850-1950 roughly. I could be a bit off. Photos 2-5 are a range of glass, clay/crockery and maybe even "china" marbles (photo 2) but I am unsure. A quick google search or visit to the marblecollecting site would give you more information on them. Photos 6 and 7 are mostly German handmades with maybe a few outliers. They are the most collectible of the bunch, but it depends heavily on condition and type. I don't know much about them, but there are plenty and sources and people who can tell you a lot about them. This site is definitely a good place to start if you're interested in learning.

If they are Vacor they're much nicer than most of the modern ones I've seen. Very pretty marbles!

Very strange. I'm still an amateur but I for sure would have guessed Jabo at a glance as well. The marble in that link you sent almost looks iridescent, like some Vacors.

I agree with Ric for sure, I have a Type III with almost those exact colors, just not as wonky.

I suspected as much, they sure do vary quite a bit. love this one, thanks!

translucent base. I can't measure it right now but it's safe to say around 5/8s, maybe a touch smaller. all help is appreciated! sorry if the quality isn't the best.

Wow, those are some rich colors. beautiful 😮
