Pelts but what kind?


PittsburghMarbles

Recommended Posts

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.

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 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.

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

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!!!

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!!

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!!

I hear ya!

Mine I thought was a weird rebel variation.  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

The last one is def not a buttermilk. It’s some sort of NLR pelt maybe but def a pelt.

I agree that yours is very similar to the last image in the OP.

I am OK with "a weird rebel variation" for sure.
