lstmmrbls Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 What does it look like back lighted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Why not Peltier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Does look a bit more Peltier than Vitro too me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 That seam is odd - I was thinking Akro at first but maybe even an odd Master? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast_dave Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I'm thinking Kokomo on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I may be able to see Kokomo. Is that a cold roll in the second pic? How does it look with back-lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hello, I just got in from another antiques show. So sorry for the delay. The reason I am going with Vitro is the pastel shades being very similar to the Vitro Easter Egg or Parakeet colors. Let me get back to you on this one as I am working on my quarterly taxes (due today!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Until I can set up a much needed shooting gallery, hopefully this will do to help. Pelt on the left, Kokomo on the right, and I can sort of see a little muddy on one side of the middle (suspect) if this is a Pelt. If Peltier, it might be a bifurcated example. I added another pic also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thanks everyone. Yes there are a couple cold rolls. I think Al might be seeing something I didn't see at first. It might just well be a Master. And I thought I knew Sunbursts pretty well. I'll show it to Willie since Sunbursts are his absolute favorites. Here's a better backlit shot.

William Marbles Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think I'll go with Al on this one and vote Akro as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hmm, I now see making a case for Akro here as well. It had crossed my mind with the first look and I talked myself out of it. lol Not the first time, won't be the last. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Now that I think about it, I believe I have a similarly colored corkscrew on a similar base. I'll see if I can find it . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Nope, not Akro. But at first Willie was going with Akro as well. Then he backlit the mib and pointed out the big fat cream puff looking thing which occupies half of the marble and is (how did Willie put it?) folded over a little on itself at the seams. He said it did look bifurcated in hand but he passed on it due to a couple micro fleas and micro sparkles and of course those cold rolls. Willie, you have grown to be such a purist! I'm gonna start calling you Wet Willie!! LOLOLOLOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hey, I love all you guys, so I just wanted to clarify, and I know you'll understand. Willie is NOT the know all end all, and he'll tell you the same thing, but it is nice to get an in-hand inspection from someone with his educated eyes. Truth be told, when I learn to shoot better pictures, I won't need Willie nearly as much. I really love a mib that can appear as an Akro, Kokomo, Peltier, Vitro, and Master (of disguise)!! Thanks again for all your time and help. (Me? I'm still between Master and Kokomo) Yes, Kokomo! But that's only because I'm such a hardhead.

Ric Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 It is a cool marble. 3/4" is a nice size too. Here are a couple of Akros for comparison. They are a bit bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Well here's a foreign one for comparison. Same type of glass?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Looks like orange peel from here Winnie. A dead giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Winnie, Roger's looks so foreign to me, I wasn't sure it was made on this planet. I thought about suggesting a planet in the Rigel system. I still don't know what to think of it. That's why I was happy just waiting for what everyone else would say.
