Yet you can't see the tunnel on the reverse side. If you hadn't known it yet; look a little closer Steph, should see another tunnel on the darker side with a loop facing the orange side. And, while I don't mean to change or interrupt the topic,; I have been wondering for quite some time; if Winnie had matched them in or from veggyglass too? Because, in this photo ( Taken over ten years ago so, forget exactly how many doubles) below there are 4 or 5 Double Tunnels, the rest are Veggy's and it all came as a group from Germany. And while GB antik says; the striped are pre 1939, I say: Colors, including your orange: 'Feel like', ( in my photo; the red, white and blue, light green and white, orange and violet and the blue and white) 40-60's and that time frame would fit with Veggy.

I can't be sure -- swiss cheese memory -- but I don't remember seeing any indication that this seamed marble style came from the Veiligglas factory.

ann Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 No - and I remember Winnie was sure they were German. So was the German guy I got some of my nicest ones from in a trade (two peewee onionskins w/ mica, for every German he had). He even requested that I always keep a big, worn, and slightly chipped green one because it was his favorite "player" when he was a kid! So it has an honored place with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Nice one Steph, especially with that color shift in it. I don't remember seeing it before. Ok here's one that shouldn't be too hard, just a bad pic I had on file but I have the second shot which was focused to show as well. Fun game idea Fire, I like a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 OK, I will take the first shot. Akro "Tricolor Patch". Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelp, that's too bad as I'd hoped; whenever she first showed up, it would happen. Regardless, on the bright side, unless you're a Green Bay Packers fan, you should be able to retain: 'It's a Double Tunnel' now. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 I want to guess Chuck's but am afraid I'll be right ... and then would have to find another marble to blur! My guess is Kokomo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Steph, I just knew someone would say Kokomo, that's what it looked like to me too in the blurry pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Dope !! now I gotta take some Blurry pix, will probably be tomorrow mornin, almost midnight now. "Good grief" just tried to get some quick blurry pix but the Sony Handycam I use for all my pix has an auto focus function I'm gonna have to work on turnin off. Went to the menu, no such animal, I'm sure there's a way to disable it (maybe?) Now I'll be @ this all night till I get it figured out !! 12 : 20 Finally figured out how to disable the auto focus, now it's so blurry you can't even tell there's a marble there, I never thought it would be this hard to take a "Blurry" shot. Didn't have any trouble doing it when I was trying to take a good one ?? I'll have something for ya by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Well, best I could do, had to bang off a bunch of pix quick to keep the auto focus from adjusting, yea I couldn't shut it down all the way. So a clue w/ the first pic :: This only comes in a Pee-Wee !! I hope this isn't to easy ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 The clue I was thinking I saw was what looks like fire inside ... on the bottom of the marble. But only comes in peewee ... no that does not make it easy for me! Hmmmm .... *heads out to look for head-scratching emoticon* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google is telling me to try words such as "sunflower" and "mustard and relish". But I'm going at this blind. Never heard of these as pelt names before 90 seconds ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Pelt "Sweetpea" Steph. I am not going to lie--I had to look it up too and I have several. I just suck at individual names. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Dope !! Steph got it, I knew the "Pee-wee" clue was to much, yes a Peltier "Mustard & Relish" sometimes referred to as a "Sunflower" Next time "no clues" drat, that didn't last long. Well below the 1/2" .50 inch pee-wee mark, an unexpected gift from a generous marble Sister. Good grief, I just Googled "Peltier Sweet pea" , pix of the same marble from "Worthpoint" ?? no such animal, @ least not from Pelt. Went to AAM and all the sweet pea references are to vitro, so not wanting to cause any further confusion between "Vitro" & "Peltier" manufactured mibs. I've always known this marble as "Mustard & Relish" I'm stickin to the known I.D.

Not your fault Art, I Googled it and Worthpoint showed it as being a Pelt "Sweet pea" I would've done the same as you. The Pelt "Mustard & Relish" isn't common, in fact VVHTF, never marketed, in fact the ones surviving are referred to by some Peltheads as "lunchbox" marbles, not to be confused w/ the Akro marble Bill @mibcapper named "Lunchbox" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
