Fire1981 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think you're last one is a Pelt Multi-Color NLR. There are other types of Multi-Color Pelt that are Swirls. Is the baseglass green ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I agree, the last one is a MCS, and some might call the first one a Skunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I’ve called these Miller’s Swirls. Any other’s want to add to this one ! I’ve always thought the Miller’s Swirl date certain runs during a certain time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I always thought the MCSs were tweeners at the end of NLR production, but . . .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Lots of false myths around Miller. The first Miller machine that Peltier had was a hand gather machine. The first marbles Peltier produced were hand gathered slags. The miller machine had nothing at all to do with the pattern of the marble, if it was a patch, ribbon or swirl. I have never ever found out how many, if more than one Miller machine Peltier had ???? Akro had Miller machines. The marble machine just makes the hot glass glob round. It does not make any type pattern or style of marble. That all happens ahead or upstream, at the furnace, the flow to other special equipment or the shear and through the shear then down to the marble machine. Where the hot elongated glass gob is rounded into a marble. Brian Graham now owns the Miller machine which Peltier had. He has made marbles with it several times. None of those marbles are swirls or look anything like any Peltier marble. The exact same marble machine can make a swirl marble or a patch or a patch and ribbon style marble. I have done it on one single machine for about ten hours straight. Switching from patch to swirl and to patch and ribbon, many times over the ten hours pone night at Jabo. I had four other people helping and witnessed it. Most people here have heard me talk many years about that, a marble machine just makes the hot glass glob round. The marble machine does not make any pattern or certain style marble. A old myth that will never go away in my lifetime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Most marble machines were on wheels in order to be moved easily. The had to be moved in and out under the furnace to change marbles size. Each marble size requires a different size set of rollers. How many different size Peltier swirl marbles have you seen ? Each size would require a different size machine. How many different sizes of Miller machines did Peltier have ? Jabo's normal standard production was swirl style marbles. Marble King normal standard production was patch and ribbon style marbles. I ask both company owners Dave and Beri, why they each did not make both styles marbles. It was nothing but a friendly agreement between them. That MK would always make the patch and ribbon marbles and Jabo would make the swirl marbles. Either one could have and did on rare occasions. Make either style marble on the same machines. Everything upstream or before the marble machine affects the style type or pattern of the marbles. The marble machine just makes it round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I have some of the First and Second run marbles from the Brian Graham's run. I got them from Mike Barton who was there. Small sample boxes and a small blue marble bag. Maybe somewhere between 2004 -2006 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think those are the First and Second run from Boyce, not Brian Graham. I have the same marbles. Mike B, also added most of the colors for Boyce's marble runs at Jabo. I was there with them. He also made most or all the packages for Boyce.
