marblenewbie Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 The first pic I believe is Vitro at 1.02 in. The next three left to right, 1st I believe it is Pelt at .61, but I have never seen one like this-does it have a name? 2nd at .64 I'm hoping is not a Jabo as I have several that came in the same jar. 3rd at .61 I can't see any distinctive cut lines or swirls to even attempt a guess. The Fourth I found in a jar purchased several weeks ago thinking it looked foreign, but intriguing, so I took photos and put it away. Apparently I put it away to well as I can't find it now, but would like to know if I should be tearing things apart as I just saw an ad of one for sale advertised as a guinea. As I remember it was approx. .58 but it has a pontil, that is even easy for me to identify, but disqualifies it as a CAC. Not sure the pics show it properly. Any help would be appreciated.

Chad G. Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Peltier Rainbo for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 The first one is a Peltier as Chad has said---not quite a Red Zebra but a nice large one-- non the less--- Not a Bloodie because of the opaque-ness of the white. The last one is a Vacor. The others may be one of many. Marble--On !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblenewbie Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I apologize for the poor quality of the 3 mibs. I guess I am getting taken in by the V's on the shooter as they are very distinctive. The last one still has me wondering as one exactly like it is being advertised as a Guinea for $350.00 I believe on ebay. Not good for collectors if things are as blatant as that unless you really know what your are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 The first marbles that I ever purchased were from a very old lot of extremely old vintage things of a various nature, most of what I recognized as being very old and vintage. It was at an estate sale held in old outback buildings that were covered in dust. Turns out that they were old Vacor "Galaxy" types---yes, I thought that they may have been "Guineas". This was about 30 years ago. This started my research into what may or may not be. I am sure that all on this board have had similar experiences. Research, Research, Research. Great job asking, you are always right to question any sale. Marble--On!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
