Steph Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Post some marbles which look like they could be made by more than one company. A couple of Peltish Marble Kings: My single-seam bumble bee: Rainbo-y translucent one from early 2000's (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 The colors and bubbles on Dave's marble are pretty 7Uppy, but that's as far as I can go. Steph, I thought your marbles looked familiar, and finally found the ones I was thinking of. Do they look like Marble Kings? Not what I'd assumed, but then again, IDs that I make have traditionally been best used as an indicator of what a marble almost certainly isn't.

Steph Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 For yours, the left is MK and I think the right is actually Peltier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoast_dave Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I think i've just been "Mibstified". The yellow & blue is one sweet looking peltier. Last photo in the center, i see an akro with submerged oxblood, very nice. The marble in my post i have with my Akros, but let me know if you see something else. ...........after all folks, it is a chameleon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibstified Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I think your mib could be Akro or maybe Vitro. I think my yellow and blue mib is an Akro cork that forgot to cork, LOL. Here is another mystery mib. Looks like a single seam mib but I think it is an oddball Pelt slag with a single ribbon of opaque yellow. The mib appears to be folded in half, similar to other Pelt slags I have with a fold line between the two closely spaced cut lines where the yellow abruptly ends.

westcoast_dave Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I agree, last one is pelt. Nice fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Only the left of the 2 is a CAC. non of the others are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dink1111 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 That's awesome, Steph. I was just pondering some of those Rainbo-ish translucent thingies this afternoon, trying to pin them down to Vitro? Marble King? Pelt? New something? I have them in yellow, purple and also the blue like yours. And they are still sitting in the sort tray - unsorted. Dink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Please forgive me for inserting a quick 'off-topic' comment here. I want to thank Winnie for using the perfect and correct English contraction Here're in her opening statement. It made me feel good, because 99% of the people in the United States would have used Here's in that situation and they would have been wrong wrong wrong! This is a pet-peeve of mine which just makes me crazy. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Ha Ha,I would be a language miracle?On the contrary,i have a lot of trouble to express myself in English. And the language machiene often gives very strange translations,that gives me not much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pet-peeve of mine which just makes me crazy. ( : My sister is the same way and it drives me nuts also. I was very good in math...absolutes. English on the other hand has many variables that confused me. I would spend hours testing her from her "word power made perfect" books that had no effect on me. Now I wish I could do it all over again because people really judge you by your command of the english language. What other knowledge possessed is tested on a daily basics more than english? On the other hand, her math and history skills are mediocre but hidden in the shadows from all who know better to judge. Heck, you are probably grading this as you read and running out of red ink....I try and believe we all have our strengths and weaknesses that create pride and embarrassment. My outlook is not to embarrass folks on purpose and understand that life has a way of holding some back. My cousin would spend endless days reading and doing things he wanted...on the other hand, I was a workhorse and had a duty to contribute, when not in school, to help my family survive.

sissydear Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Doesn't that depend on whether you are referring to singular or plural? Like if you mean one marble "Here's a marble for here is and Here're two marbles for Here are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Exactly. But it's become very common in American English for people to say "Here's two swirls!", even though they'd never say the uncontracted "Here is two swirls!" That's what I find so irritating about it. Boy, I really like Dave's marble! It looks like the yellow and black/brown marbles which were discussed recently, but the addition of that emerald green really kicks things up a notch!

ann Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Normally I would throw myself into the discussion of the English language since I'm a fanatic about that myself. But I'm too distracted by Dave's marble. I'm going to go back and stare at it some more . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 It's a real beauty, isn't it? You can see in my last post how I couldn't stay focused on the language thing either! (And of course we should start a new forum/thread/whatever about that anyway.) I don't know if Dave's going to tell us any more about it. He hasn't been very forthcoming so far! Didn't say a word about my '7Up' idea, so I have no idea if that was the 'chameleon' part of his earlier marble or if I just made another of my traditional stupid comments.

kbobam Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I just figured out the 'bottom line' of what I was feeling in that last post. Of course the 'more educated' should leave things unsaid so that others at their level can find amusement in their immediate appreciation of what's being shown to them. But it would be nice with a topic of this nature to eventually have it explained exactly what 'chameleon' effect is being assumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
