sissydear Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Nola Morgan, West Virginia Marble Colllector's Club named the "Chick Peas". I had written an article about the pea family in the Texas Marble Collector's Newsletter and called them " Unnamed". West Virginia reprinted my article, Nola saw it, and told me what she thought their name should be. I agreed. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Another favorite Rich Hollingshead Margaret Zinzer does more beads than marbles. However, she does make some of my favorite marbles. caterpillars and lady bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marboman Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 What beautiful Vitro's you have,many I've never seen.Thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Marboman, I think a lot of people have overlooked the lowly Vitros. I have many more. They made more patterns than any other company and used more color than any other company. I've been collecting them since 1992. Don't tell anybody how nice they are or how varied in pattern and color. Akro was my favorite until I recognized how many different marbles Vitro made.

Sissydear I agree,for many years my favorite marbles were Peltier but now have found a new passion for Vitro's and BIG slags.I recently got a group of 32 Vitro's multicolored with aventurine.I just love em.Your Sweet Peas and Black-eyed peas are some of my favorites.The Vitro colors are very vibrant just outstanding! I don't think there lowly anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I like Peltiers too especially NLR's and multicolored swirls with the Miller Machine patterns. Weldon was the Peltier collector. These were his favorite multicolored swirls. I know there's a new name for them, but they';ll forever be for me what Weldon called them. Some of these are very swirly http I like Champion Jrs. and Rainbos tto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catfish Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Catfish, is that blue/green flame an Alox and did you buy it from Marblealan a few years ago? That's how he had it listed, but I do not believe it to be Alox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catfish Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 So do you think it's an Alley? That would be my guess. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobandPat Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Here's my thought on that subject..... it sure would look good reunited and setting next to it's big brother brick. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m!b$ Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I would guess it's an Alley, tho I hardly qualify as an expert on such things. I think I recall that Alan said he would have guessed it to be an Alley too, except that the consignor had it labeled as Alox and had correctly labeled all of his/her other marbles (something like that).
