Here are a bunch of pictures of a Shamrock marble. It was made by John Mcormick(sp?) John etches in a little shamrock about .010" deep and fills it in with gold. If a person were to buff this out,the marble would be out of round about .010" to .015". These are just my thoughts on the marble in the auction. Also,the seller is NOT John. John is very honest and would not try to deceive anyone. Terry

The 6 color popeye thread has been very interesting to read. It got me thinking about this one. Does anybody else have a corkscrew with more than 5 true colors? Excluding hybred popeyes and blends. I would love to see them. Thanks Terry

Here is a pic of John's " flame" work.

hardinhunter, Is this the type you are refering to? Larger one is 5/8 and the other is 17/32.

Thanks everyone. I have had a lot of fun with this marble. It's been to several shows, I've had comments about it being Jabo,Christensen,ect.... Then I ask them to show me one with aventurine. The stumped look is priceless! Rick, I love to collect and post marbles that make you think and go hmmm!?!? Charles, I'll bring it to KC (if the weather isnt nasty) Sami, Didn't you see it in Amanna a few years ago?

Here's a very different Peltier. It has a turkey head, a butt crack, and aventurine. I'm not sure if it's a NLR. Any thoughts? This was purchased about 5yrs ago, from a fellow board member. Enjoy Terry

Patry, You make this tough for me! Popeyes are my favorites. Edited because I wasn't playing nice. Terry

Very good answer Rick!!!! I was hoping somebody would notice the post date and the date of the first run! Can you believe the first runs are 5 years old already? I do not know the birthdate of the second runs. Does anybody have that info? Terry

These are Peltier 1st and 2nd run marbles. There are 2 views of each one. The top row is the 1st run. The others are the 2nd run. Now I have a question,are there other colors available for each run? If so, I would love to see them. Thanks Terry

Mel will be missed.......

Thanks Roger........The pictures are worth a thousand words! Terry

Clyde those have great patterns and bright colors. With the nice symetry (even pattern) could they possibly be beachballs? I haven't seen enough to be sure, but they may fit the description. Hope this helps, Terry
