Djp5690 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 I’m thinking pelt for 3/4. One in the left has me a little confused. Way too insecure on my ID’s. Also, what’s up with the hole in one? Some trickery afoot? (Pics through magnification show it.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Not positive of the one on the (L) but the other 3 are Pelt Rainbos, the hole (blowhole) are unfortunately a common trait on Pelts. Which has me leaning Pelt on that one also. Can you get a pic of the seams on the one on the left ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Chad--more images needed--it may be a Pelt MCS. Nice ones! Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djp5690 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Sorry, guys. I gotta pump the brakes. Apparently I have 3 very similar. 🤣 I’ll do the one we have seen first, then the other two. Original and one of the other two are .61. Biggest is .67. Also, the original and XL look more related to each other. here’s the OG nextOG and Big Brother. Finally, the “odd man out”. Something different all together? Wish I could get some better light on it actually, maybe not so finally. This big boy (.96) is orange white blue, and purple too. Someone ID’ed it awhile back as a king or master something or other. At any rate, I don’t think it’s related but idk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 For me the left in that first photo looked totally Rainbo. Not MCS. The marble I was questioning was the 2nd marble in the line-up. For some reason I was seeing it as possibly a West Virginia swirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 But here I'm seeing MCS, so if that was happening in the first marble -- three colors of ribbons -- then yeah, MCS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I'm seeing Marble King here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djp5690 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I can’t disagreee! I’m not sure how it was advertised. And it’s tough to get the base color to show. But it sure is pretty. 😂 that’s my main factor in purchasing. Thanks for the help, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djp5690 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Not that this color changes much I just really like it, especially trying to coax it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 It's a Marble King. Might have a fancy name. I don't know it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you have a Big boy at .96" in one place and a standard 5/8" in another. The .96 is a Tiger variety with a white base. The smaller appears similar as orange but a transparent blue base. . Orange on a blue base is odd as usually it's red not orange. This is a newer when red is called a transparent Wasp. If Orange it's likely to be considered a transparent Tiger, (I guess). A big Tiger on a white base is very hard to find. I mean, in standard 5/8" there are probably 4 times as many, or more, red/black (purple) Wasps versus the amount of Tigers. In perspective, a big boy size in a Wasp is a bit hard to get but comparably a big Tiger is in the rare arena. In fact, it's easier to get a big Bengal Tiger (Almost the same except Bengal gets yellow on the side of the orange usually on top of the white area.) So, the Tiger is black (purple) and orange with a white base. A Bengal Tiger is near the same but gets yellow on the edge too. Much harder to find a big Tiger. Here's a Big Bengal Tiger.

Djp5690 Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 Wow! Thanks Jeff! Who knew I had some cool/rare pieces?I started like a month and a half ago. Not even sure where I got these guys. I think these may have been in an antique store where the owners seemed a happy to get rid of a jar of marbles. Most was junk. And yes. Seems like I have two marble king and two pelts. Sounds like both of the MK‘s are tough, but the big boy is incomparably tougher. That’s crazy! I’m gonna look around and see if I can determine where I got it. Thanks again, everybody, for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it's chiped so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djp5690 Posted December 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Ok. I think I got it. Maybe with a third pelt. Ignore the ones underneath. They deserve a post of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
