disco005 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 So, is "Inky" an actual title of a marble, or is it just a description, an adjective? and does it only apply to the dark bluish color, like india ink? Or only to a certain brand of marble? Is this considered an Inky? I've looked around a little, but haven't found anything really on Inky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 There is also a Pelt rainbo called an Inky by collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've also seen some India-ink-blue on white corkscrews called "inkies." At each pole, at the start / end of the corkscrew, the dark blue always had a kind of a "wet-ink-on-white-paper" look. Kind of like on Jess's example above. I'll see if I can find one. Would love to see a pic of both the Alley and the Peltier types. Don't think I've ever seen either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Whoop! I hadn't even considered the spelling of it. It sounds like an Inkie is a blue or black striping on a white base? So is Alley then the only maker that called one of their marbles an Inkie, and the others are collector-named? Yes, I would love to see pics.

Steph Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think the Alley name is also a collector name. Right, Bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibcapper Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think the Alley name is also a collector name.

migbar Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think this is a poor example of a Peltier inky....it's on a soft yellow base... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I was looking around trying to find another Pelt similar to the one above, no luck ann, is this close to what you described above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Galen posted a picture of one on the first page of "Sharing Pictures Of Pelt Rainbos", post #9... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Oh! wow, that is not what I was looking for lol, I guess I figured it was more of a thin smeared ink. That is really cool, and literally looks like ink. Thanks migbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Here are some inky types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Gonna add my (two) cents worth to this subject. I have noticed over the last few years that so called (names) cross over to different manufacturers, per say this subject "Inkys". Alley-"Inky"--white or off white opaquish base with swirls (or flames) of vibrant blue rich color, resembling writers (ink) Peltier-"Inky"--Opalescent yellowish transparent to translucent base glass with the blue color palat as the one above (Mikes example) So far no other makers are attributed to this name yet, even though there could be?

marboman Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks Chuck, the Peltier "Inky" you an Galen describe is a marble I have seen, may have one I'd have to look. Would like to see the Alley version . Negetory on the " Inky types". Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I was looking around trying to find another Pelt similar to the one above, no luck ann, is this close to what you described above? It's close. The color should be more India-inky, though . . . a little more to the black-blue side. But the ends of the cork look pretty good - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
