sclsu Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 In my little learning on marbles, my best guess is an oxblood patch and ribbon, but I have no idea where it could be from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I want to say Peltier Rainbo for this one. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing the "Pelt flip flop" on it, so I'd like to have clearer views of how the ribbons meet the seams. Since I'd like to have more photos, I've split this off from the other thread to cut down on confusion. Edited May 27, 2015 by Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 A little blurry but those first two in Post #3 are the angles I wanted to see. Sorry to be a hard-ass. I'm certain that they were made on a Rainbo machine. Here's the thing which is making me hold back. The ribbons don't appear to have the typical Peltier Rainbo pattern. That makes me want the marble to turn out to be a Kokomo. The Kokomo Opalescent Glass Company bought some marble making machines from Peltier and used them for a short while. They did not make very many marbles. So going by the numbers, it's unlikely that it is a Kokomo. Numerically, the odds are far better that a rainbo-looking marble will be a Peltier. But I'm just not seeing the ribbon pattern for Peltier. BUT ... one more big BUT ... if you identify something as Kokomo on eBay, people won't like that. There will be some curious and then possibly angry person who will want to know why you said Kokomo. So don't say Kokomo unless you get a solid consensus that that's what it is. Did that make any sense? You can read company histories here: http://joemarbles.com/2Manufacturers%20History%20Pages/Manufacturers%20Home%20Page.htm And also find examples of different marble types there.

sclsu Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks, that was very well put. I actually think this one is going in the keep pile, which is why I was so curious to see what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 how about Vitro? The pattern of the ribbon (patch) of the first post right picture,looks Vitroish to me?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 In doing a little more looking, could it be a master marble sunburst? It does look to have a little clear patch on one pole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 The relative symmetry between the sides makes it not seem like Master. (By relative symmetry, I mean two distinct sides with red and white ribbons on both sides. Masters don't generally give the impression of having two halves.) Here are some Kokomos: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/11352-kokomo-examples/?hl=kokomo Confirmed kokos are so uncommon that if you ask for examples, you'll see a lot of the same photos over and over. It's hard to know what their range of variation is. If you ask for pics of Pelt Rainbos you'll get a whole lot more examples. Your color combo is in the general area of the Peltier style which collectors call a 7-Up. In this thread folks were posting some Peltiers which didn't match the standard Pelt patterns. I don't think they necessarily meant to post nonstandard patterns but I guess those naturally arose when folks looked for interesting ones to post. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/20719-sharing-pictures-of-pelt-rainbos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
