Fire1981 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 This piece always makes me think Pelt Zebras. There is copper in some of the creases. Any ideas on this? There is no UV Pop🔥 RAR🍿🍿🍿 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Lots of Zebras and Skunks without AV. As for the "copper", I'm not seeing it. It looks more like some sort of dirt/clay debris to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I thought it was too. 30X loupe reflects copper, not crud 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 The origin of the cullet is unknown? If so, it may never be able to be attributed to a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was pelt, since RAR's got lots of dug Pelt stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I’ve kept it with my 2 pieces of Pelt cullet. I can’t figure out what other marble is Black/White other then Pelt. Do any WVS come to mind. 🔥 RAR🍿 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a hard time thinking of a company that didn't make black and white marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Lots of black and whites out there. Especially Akro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you're talking "true black" it's probably more limited - Akro, CAC, Alley, Pelt - I may have missed another, can't remember. 🙂 True black was a pre-cullet marbles kinda thing - formula glass, as far as I recall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 2 hours ago, cheese said: Lots of black and whites out there. Especially Akro. Agree. I think the first piece has an even chance of being Akro, but there is no clear pointer either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Yep, I think it would be more likely that it came from Akro IMO, since so much material from Akro has been distributed around the collecting community. Unless it is known to have been dug elsewhere. The first piece looks more like true black but the second is dark dark blue. Once cullet has lost it's provenance, it is usually gone forever, unless it's a recognizable color or something else gives it away. I keep mine in marked boxes or I mark on the cullet where it was from with a sharpie marker in case sometime I'm gone and can't answer the question of where it came from.
