fentonacres Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Besides you all... I don't know too many folks who really LOVE marbles. Except one friend in our sporting dog club... and his friend. We will be moving out of state soon so I asked him.... What is your favorite color marble? He said red. I plan to gift him a few of my reds... But what are YOUR favorite reds. If you could gift someone nice... maybe four? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Here is Marlo Keith's Ruby Slippers, found on Pinterest. Made by Peltier. I don't think I have one. Simply elegant. I don't know if it is a "Ruby Slippers" or a "Ruby Slipper" though. Heard it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck G Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Steph, very nice and i like them also. Red transparent glass in the bases of peltier are not that easy to find. These can be found now and then with some looking. Two types i have found, internal cross-thru white ribbons and then the external white ribbons ribbons on the surface. You will find the other colored transparent base ones a little easier than red. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Jerry ... you there? Didn't you have some luscious red cat's eyes? Found 'em! Aren't those luscious! Base looks red to me in the picture but it's clear and all the color is bursting from the vanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Oh, those are nice! They take my mind off of the obsession with having Alan's box of Cardinal Reds next to my box of Cerises. In reality. In my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 completely amazing someone could keep something from when they were 7 years old. His hands were shaking so much from emotion when he handed them to me - I told his adult son that I didn't want to take them away from him. He had a lot of memories tied up in the box. They had to have a family discussion and the gentleman smiled and told me that he was ready to pass them on to someone else. His memory of pulling the box out as a boy and looking at it were vivid.

Chuck G Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Dave, very nice (red) marbles and photos. You see the internal ribbons on both. Do you all have a name for the left photo? I know there is a name for this one, but cant remember? Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Those were Peltier Bloodies. Here are Mibstified's Christensen Agate Bloodies. The Peltier Bloodies are much easier to procure, at least if you want individuals and not the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 That is a dandy marble, but it looks a lot different than the ones in the Bloody boxes I have seen. Here are Mibstified's Christensen Agate Bloodies . . . It seems like there is such variation in this group that "CAC Bloody" has little if any meaning. In addition, I could not distinguish some of these marbles from dug Alley examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks Ric! I just went in search of information and found that Peltier did make a Bloodie in the NLR line, I think most of the boxed Pelts are the Rainbos. I put this one up for identification a few months back and Peltier was decided on. There is a very good chance that I am also clueless lol, this is a new area for me.

Ric Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I don't doubt it's a Peltier, and a nice one too. I am just trying to figure out what the range of "Bloodies" look like. It seems there is so much variation within that 'group' that it hardly means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
