Magnificent Bubbles

Im guessing this is a peltier marble. Around ⅝" impressive size and amount of bubbles

Insane Vitro that might pop and glow under UV light🔥

Really Fire?

Come on and lets get real here😁.

This is one of the very coolest Rainbos that I have ever seen--all of the bubbles with just one that broke out?

Vitro? Really?

You are slaking--get back on the zambonie.

I am just having fun with you and I feel tested as well.

I met the challenge🤪.

Marble--On!!

Hyper-bubbly Peltier Rainbo, IMO.

🤪 So here’s where I went with this one. Veneered ribbon and then I got stupid. This is where I was coming from. I thought this one it was PPP but the ID here is it’s a Vitro.🔥

Bad day on the Zam. Question: Does it pop and glow under UV 🔥

You sure didn't get that Vitro ID from me, Fire. Your marble is a PPP as far as I am concerned. That's the same weird sorta base glass as the other PPP glower you've posted. I posted two of them in response to that post.

Has anyone considered Kokomo?……The marble does have somewhat of a “single band” kokomo style trait and is also overloaded with bubbles…..The only Pelt Rainbos Ive seen with thick bubbles like that are Sunsets…(EDIT-and a few PPP’s)……but?

Here is a sample of a bubble filed single band Rainbo that I had years ago that at the time stirred up an ID controversy between it being a Pelt Rainbo or a Kokomo… I think it was 3/4” (have to go check my data base)

and heres a hefty 15/16”  Bubble filled “Twisted Sunset” Rainbo

[Fire1981]

Sorry Ric. I’m sure I got that mixed up. Art. Now that you brought Kokomo into the picture. The OP’s  bubbles pretty much look the same to me🔥

those are amazing

Kokomo was my 2nd guess and secretly my 1st choice of potential answer lol. But I wasnt sure if they made this color or type.

The Peltier or Kokomo debate has gone on for years and years, especially for a few particular types of marbles - the OP marble included.

There are some marbles that can be definitively assigned to Kokomo and others that can be definitively assigned to Peltier. And there are likely some examples that were made by each company and you would struggle tell them apart, even in hand. There are still other examples that cannot be definitively attributed to one company or the other because they have not been found in original packaging or dug at either location.

For examples like those, I always go with Peltier, just because they made many, many, times the number of different types, and numbers of marbles in general, than Kokomo ever did in its short history. When in doubt, I think it is wise to play the odds and go with Peltier. And while you may not be right every time, chances are that you will be wrong a lot less often.

Having said that, I think Chuck's marble is Kokomo, not because it has lots of big bubbles but because of the base glass, which is the same as that you find on the less bubbly Kokomo Christmas marbles - the red is pretty much the same too. I use the same sort of thinking to call the OP marble Peltier. It has the same hyper-bubbly base glass as other known Peltiers, and I have not seen similar in known Kokomo examples.

I live in Indiana, and this is how I approach the subject. Because of that, I have a rather small collection of Kokomo marbles. But I am at least 95% confident that they actually are Kokomos.

Just my two cents.
