PittsburghMarbles Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 My grandma just gave me these marbles in a huge jar of marbles that my grandpa had in the 30s or so. I tend to think I know my marbles as I’ve been doing it for years but I can’t think of what kinda pelts these would be. The last photo is the pelts in question. I think the 2 more colorful ones are NLRs of some sort but I’m not quite sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 can you describe the colours of the mib in the 1st few pics is it dark brown and red or more black and orange that will determine what they might be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 A few of them look similar too the Citrus variety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 well i’m going to tap out on this one and just wait to see what Chad G or Chuck G or Ron S or someone else has to say After doing a little more digging in the archives here and on AAM i’m not confident enough to say out of the two i’m thinking of because there too similar the others ones your showing are really nice too and the most important part they come from your family 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Link to the pelt citrus site, the last pic does look similar to a citrus family type but there were so many variants in Pelt ?? Maybe a bit of a peek at the pix on the pelt site ?? Wish the orange ribbons were yellow then an easy Plum Citrus I.D. Plum citruses are a little HTF than the others. The trouble with a one off is there is nowhere to get a value base. Still I have, and am drawn to one offs.

I'llhavethat1 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Nice, probably some sort of Christmas tree variant with a lot of oven debris. I had a similar one kicking around here for a while. It's nice of your Grandma to think of you, so the marbles can live on in posterity. Probably some very interesting marbles in that jar, thanks for posting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 The first image is a great marble--then you have three---excellant. I have a few marbles from my grandfather and they are cherished. Nice group no doubt. No names from me except NICE!!! Marble--On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 hi your first pic i was looking at yesterday i’m thinking is a Pelt burnt sunset or Pelt Halloween 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghMarbles Posted November 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hmmm I’ll have to look that up. Either way, these are some pretty rare pelts if they’re stumping people on here lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 yes i’ve noticed the ID section has slowed down with the seasoned collectors giving there thoughts and that’s fine it’s not there job they do it in there spare time .i had a few on here that i was thinking was going to get more action too all i know is between all the old pages in the ID section here and AAM Steph’s study hall here the archives at AAM and Stephen Bahr utube vids i think a person can find enough info to ID most mibs just got to watch the older stuff from years ago because as some new info comes out some things have changed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I am not a Peltier expert but I consider Peltier Marbles to be my second choice in collecting after Akro Agate. The Peltier collectors have named so many marbles with nicknames that it is very hard to keep up with them and I do not blame you for asking for a name for the ones that you posted. Sometimes a misidentification is the only thing that will get a response, so here I go. I am not afraid to call them like I see them. Image one shows what I would call three “Clear based NLR Rebels”—very rare. Image two shows what I would say is a “NLR Translucent based Rebel”—not very common. Image three shows what I think may be a Vitro Buttermilk---a very nice marble to own. Of course, I welcome any other opinions and hope to see some, I challenge all Pelt-Heads or others, to chime in. Marble—On!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Pretty sure all the one's circled are Pelt and some variation of a Christmas tree (with green), rather than a Rebel (with black). Nice looking marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I will always challenge black in any marble. Black is blue, brown, green, purple and a few others. Of course, I appreciate the opinion that you have given---finally, someone stepped up to this ID—lets see some more with some knick-names or company names applied. I still think that the last one is a Vitro Buttermilk. I just call them like I see them. Thanks, and Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 hi Art i’ve never heard of a clear base NLR Rebel yet were can we find info /pics of it thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hi Dave, this is just a reach on my part looking for a reaction. I know that there are clear based Pelts referred to/nicknamed as, Ketchup and Mustard and Dragon, both pretty rare. Why not A Rebel? The three in question have all of the needed colors afterall. Good question, no good response. Just looking to rattle a few windows to get a better ID for the OP. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it for years and just hadn't looked at close enough to see the green tinge under closer inspection of the "black".. Probably wouldn't have even been noticed on an opaque white base. This is the only crappy pic I could find from years ago and (at the time) I think I was trying to take a pic of marbles with debris. But I think you'll agree there are some similarities with the OP. I'd love to hear about/see others 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 A Pelt variant to me, Pelt made loads of variants and one offs. I've seen them before, no name that I know of, definite keepers though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
