Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Brother Bill, are these some strange dug ones you happen to know of or did you hit your head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Normal sized? Any reason not to think the outside ones are Pelt? Or at least run on a Rainbo machine? Is Bill going with Champ? That sounds good for the middle one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think Bill might be on to something - for the middle one anyway. I recall a photo Alan posted - quite a long while ago, as I remember - that showed dug Akros. There was a twisted-looking one with similar colors that stood out in the group. This marble is folded up but it looks like it should have had (has) two seams. There is some clear glass in it but the white is much nicer than most Champs I've seen. I'll have to show more pics. I think the outer two may have come off a Peltier machine in Kokomo, IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I may have found similar colors on a marble Alan posted more recently. The one he shows is big. The marble in my pic is 5/8" . Here's the marble I am talking about from Alan's post: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck G Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Do not want to (ruffle) any feathers out there, but all three are Pelts. I have one or two exactly like the center one that give you the indication they sumwhat swirled but are actually a rainbo type coming out this way because of the fast turning rollers. I cannot see akro at all in these, even though (who knows what has been dug)? I find now and then the super bright yellow and or orange on a pure white opaque base has the color of CACs with their (electric) looking colors. Yes, (i think) peltier had some electric colors. A lot of collectors find these types and for them, like me, these colors stand out more and you want to attribute them to another maker. Did peltier have a glass formula for these electric colors (OR) did they acquire some electric cullet from a purchase from another company? Its all in the eye of the be-holder!! In my (opinion) they all three are pelts. OOPs my chicken foot stepped on a feather!!Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Are they not Marble King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I have no idea what the two in question are really (have not seen similar dug), that's why I'm in the ID section. But based on glass, color and pattern comparison with dug cullet and examples, I think most of those in the group pic are Kokomo. -Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Okay. Fascinating thread. Don't let any of these pictures disappear. (Saving 'em all now!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just to throw this in, I have seen white based mibs with yellow and pink that were unmistakably Akro, and I think they were all larger sized. Only photos, but I have been keeping my eye out for one. I believe they were labeled as dug marbles, which doesn't matter to me, they're unusual and I like them!

I'llhavethat1 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'd go with Pelt top right in post #12, and maybe post #9. Rest look like Marble King maybe (or something other than Pelt or Akro)? Just my guess, and of course I haven't seen them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen dug or packaged Pelts like the one top right in post #12? (I know it looks woody-ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Dang it, I can't find the photo anywhere now of course lol. From what I can recall, the yellow and pink lines were very thin and it seems like they might have been almost a tightline cork. The yellow and pink were very light in color, shooter size. I'm looking everywhere for the photo(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 That's what this thread needed - thanks Bill! The big one is killer - great orange peel. Is that in the case with your Buckskin et al? I like a nice cold-roll on big Akros too. It gives them character. Now I think Chuck is on to something with this one . . . The fold was throwing me. It's just a more interesting than usual Rainbo - four ribbons, two with a red/pink tracer. Good eye Chuck and That1! Now, how about those other two?

disco005 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 FINALLY found one I was thinking of. Edna (Sissydear) posted this Akro in the Color of the Month post , page 16 or 17. Whew. I know I've seen multiple angles of it also, but I was just so relieved to have found this one, I had to share it. I think she said it was 1" in size.

disco005 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 And now that I finally found the Akro I had in mind because of the colors, the original marble in question does not look Akro to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
