Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Found this nice Shooter (0.80” inches diameter) in my Peltier Slag marbles box. The colors are very close (see last pic)After looking at this for some time I believe it’s construction lends to a Peltier Rainbo maybe a Frosted Pine Needle. Marble has lots of AV,,,,…? what do the Pros here think? Thanks y’all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 Well, it is not a slag, we can all agree on that. I see two different types of white, one may be opalescent. Lots of bubbles---no AV. It is a big marble. The cut-lines could be Peltier, or other. I do not think it is an Akro or a Master made marble. I would not call it a Vitro. It appears to be a vintage USA marble---hmmm-- My instincts say MK, but it seems kinda of big for that. It could be a Pelt.(pass me some popcorn too) Chime in Peltheads!! Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted May 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Ok Akroorka so no AV? What is it I’m seeing with the green here? There’s an obvious divide or difference in glass density with the Green and Clear glass. I’ve gone pretty deep with this one pulling out several boxes of Rainbo Peltiers for comparison and I can’t find any that have this effect in the base glass. But I do see this in Christensen and in Master Marble glass when I look at how their colors never really blend but form different strata. As for Marble King I can’t find anything in my collection with a seam that’s even close to this. MK are much longer and mostly straight compared to this ones. But couldve an outlier and not to get under Ron’s skin but it could be an “experimental”. then looking at pic 6 I have several Akros with similar patterned Tongue Patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 This is as close as I can get with a Pelt that has one of the same seams 🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 I’m looking at the seam in the group pic. Last one to the right in the second row.🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 My last pic looks very similar to that seam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rainbo Marble I was looking for. Thank you Fire1981. I have some that are similar but they’re either to loose or tighter seamed. There’s even a match in the whispy white sorta feathering at the cut. But to me, your marble’s a match in the pictures I see. I appreciate yours and everyones input. Even further I appreciate your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 Bubbly clearish green . Just screaming Peltier to my semi untrained eye... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted May 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 But there’s still a question in my mind about the glass density and also the blooming matrix. Anybody have a Peltier with these effects? This is why I live bigger marbles. They’re prone to having extra features like these than most MIBS have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was why I noticed the marble in the slag box to start with. I was like coool a bubbly glass slag. Then I was like Noooo a bubbly glass Peltier Rainbo Shooter lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always look hard but I went back and looked harder. I circled what I think you are talking about. I thought that it was a light reflection earlier, my bad😏. Green colors in most makes of marbles will show up with this from time to time. The recipes for green glass have some ingredient that often does not totally melt into the mixture of glass resulting in these flakes. Most folks will call it AV, I do too😁.
