sissydear Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Bought a little Marble King. I have a white based Berry Pink and i found a transparent. I haven't collected a lot of Marble King and haven't learned a lot of names. I don't know the name of the multicolored one below, but the bue and yellow is a cub scout. Don't know if the red and white has a name. It is 3/4 inch and the white looks sort of pearly on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Weldon was the peltier collector. We usually collected a box of 25 of each multicolored swirl. I know they have a new name, but MCS is what I learned and I'm old so I keep using it. He only found one of the kind below. I found this one in Sistersville and i added it to Weldon's. We've had the one on the right many years. Only two in over 20 years of collecting. Are they really that hard to find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I was looking for Vitro and I found one I thought was Vitro. It had a red eye at one end and a black eye at the other end of what appeared to be a "tigereye". The band around the middle was blurry gray. It looked like a Vitro Agate "blackie" but it looked odd. I put it on a light and the whole look changed. It's a peltier rainbo - do doubt about the transparent green glass in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Here's another that surprised me. It looked like a Vitro Agate "anti blackie". The marble looks opaque blue with a yellow band around the middle. A little orange in the band too. While it looks opaque blue and a Peltier color, when I put it on a flashlight - there is transparent green glass in there. It's also a Peltier Rainbo.

sissydear Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 This one caused me some wavering. The oxblood color and striations looked Akro Agate to me. The construction looks Vitro Agate tri-lite. I think it's Vitro. More coming later. I do have a life other than marbles. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Nice marbles Edna. As for the green and red It is my understanding that they are even harder to find without the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnauth Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 OK please tell me more about these from post #10 second pic.. Vitro and do they have a name? What size? DAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Dan, the base glass is muddy looking. It looks sort of like the base glass in a Peltier muddy. The reddish orange patch is covering more of the marble than the white. The white forms a "V". There are two more in this post that have a translucent base with the same reddish orange patch and a yellow patch that forms a "V". Both types have a second "V" in the muddy looking glass on the opposite side from the white or yellow. They seem to have the same construction as the "pea" family. Black eyed peas and sweet peas in different colors. I do not know of a name for them. I have never seen this color combination until I bought these in Sistersville. A friend saves Vitro Agate for me all year because he knows I love it. He had a plastic box of vitro for $20. In in were the bag of 40, 2 parrots, these marbles, lots of tigereyes. I didn't need the parrots. They were the large ones, close to an inch. I took only one of the one inch marbles. I think there were about a dozen of them including the parrots. Linda Simmons and I shared the marbles in the box because I didn't need all of them. She got all of the tigereyes except the bag, half of everything else and all but one of the one inch marbles. . I tried to pay my friend more because I knew the bag of 40 tigereyes was worth more than $20, but he wouldn't take it. He's been very good to me for many years. Does that help with the marbles?
