The Nickel Guy Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 Here are 5 different white slags or swirls or a combination of the two. These have been posted before but the topic was a bit different. I think they are a mix of both. My best guess is that No 3 and 5 are swirls. Please help me understand. This has to be a common hurdle for a lot of us new learners to figure out. I have two other white marbles I will folllow up with and see how I do after hopefully learning more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree—pretty common swirls that many companies made. Check # 4 for any UV reaction—it may be a Pelt imho. The other two (#1 and #2) may also have some UV reaction—probably Akro imho. Keep on keeping on and you will get it eventually. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more— Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 More pics on #4 needed. If #4 is a Pelt which it looks like you have a VVVHT slag.🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White is so hard for my camera to focus on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted September 12 Author Report Share Posted September 12 I will try using a black background. It does have numerous thin lines but it does not glow. Be back very soon. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted September 12 Author Report Share Posted September 12 This is No 4 and I have "tweaked" the image some to sharpen it up. Trust me, this is the best I can present this particular marble. Had a very tough time with these images. I can see there are bruises and small chips. They are quite obvious now due to editing. It really brings out the damage. There is also a series of much thinner lines near the top of the top right image here. They seem to follow the same path as the thicker ones below them.

Chad G. Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 Page 179 of Sami's book "Peltier Glass Marbles" an American legend shows an original 100 count box of Peltier white slags, many of which display none of the feathering aquatinted w/ a Peltier "feather" slag, many that do. IMO unless the feathering is obvious you'd be hard pressed to nail it down to being a pelt slag. OP is more Akro to me than anything but that's just my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
