Chad G. Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hmm !! I fully believe they did. I don't know what else to call this except maybe a pelt onyx (slag) ?? I'll add some more pix for ya as I find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Bang ! I've been wondering about this for at least 12 years now. There was only one pic on the Boards when I was there. The picture was terrible and no one ever confirmed this before I left the Boards 12 years ago. Thanks Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'll call that a White Ghost Slag 🚀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I describe Pelt's Slags have white Gill Plates like fish have. Easiest Slag Trait I think with Slag I.D.'s FWIW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Ghost is the word !! I've heard there is provenance from 1926 that Peltier did produce white slags as one of their more common onyx, I know, I know you couldn't prove the "common' thing to me judging by the number of them I've seen , two (2) total since the late 80's. I believe Ron S. has a good line on this subject and am sure he will have something to add to the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest Slag Trait I think with Slag I.D.'s FWIW I know people have the misconception (as I did) that all pelt slags were feathered (gilled) as you say. but I have seen pics of some in boxes, supposedly, not backfilled that had no feathering ??

Fire1981 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'm sure he can. I have one that looks like it should glow but it doesn't. I thought it was Vaseline Glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 You are very right. I guess I should have narrowed that down to a common trait but the one trait one would use to ID a Pelt is not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 The way I look at it as far as any reputable long lasting marble manufacture is odds are "almost" every color combination or variance you could think of, mistake (so called "one offs) has been made. I stopped doubting anything to do with mibs a long time ago. Marbles are one of the oldest toys or games known to man, I don't believe most have any idea how far back they actually go.

Tommy Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Ok . I got 2 white slags The first one I believe is the feathering talked about... And the second one has the crazy tail thing going on . Thought maybe Akro 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I have no doubt at all that Peltier produced white feathered slags. Peltier made the more normal hand gathered slags. I see no reason why they would not have made white. I am not expert on identifying Peltier slags other than the feathered slags. Gino B. was good at it. He pointed out a few for me in some of my marbles for about three years at Decatur. I had three hand gathered Peltier slags, not the feathered slag. One brown, one green, and a dull yellow. I have had a couple box sets of Peltier Cerise slags. Some are red and white and some are more orange and white. So Peltier used white in making two or three different style slags.

Fire1981 Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Man...I forgot about the Cerise slags. Here's to Gino B. I think I lucked out and have one he ID for me. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
