Is this a Pelt rainbo? about.7 and UV.


Recommended Posts

I didn't think of modern until I read Rick's post.

Still could be vintage. Not a rainbo though.  

Maybe one of the lesser known WV swirl companies?

Tricky for sure and it could be vintage or---

The vaseline colored glass and the one cutline that I can see reminds me of some Akro that I have seen.

That being said--it may be easier to determine if both cutlines are shown.

Natural sunlight please.

Marble--On!!

Looks kinda like oxblood in a couple of those last pics. 🤔

I would not count it out, Akro made some oxblood that was more transparent than opaque CharlieT--a good observation for sure!

Nice images mccracken,
The fact that @Alan has a few like this makes me wonder.
I am inspecting the damage on the marble, this usually will determine old vs newer. Newer glass in my experience is softer and more prone to little white hit marks. 
Jabo is a good example of these little whit hit marks. @Nantucketdink has a very good handle on Jabo marbles, he could clear this up for sure.
There appear to be striated scratches not common to game play but more often found in a marble from a dig-site. @Steph may be right on the older WVS idea and @cheese and @Ric both have been on the digs and may offer an opinion.
I see why mccracken though that it may be a Pelt—lots of bubbles. Experimetal marbles were not always cooked like production types and this may explain the “bubblicious” nature of this one.
I am leaning towards a vintage dug marble, it may be from any number of dig sites imho. If @Fire1981 did not recognize it, then I doubt that it is a Pelt.
We cannot ID them all—but we sure as heck can try.

Thanks all!!
Marble—On!!

I would probably put this with Cairo. The bubbles in the base, the dark red ribbon in a simple folded ingot swirl pattern like Cairo is known for... but might change my mind looking at it in hand. Sorry this pic is a little dark:
