newmarblemom Posted Friday at 12:21 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:21 AM I would like to apologize in advance for my questions. Whenever i developed an interest in something in the past I just started searching and reading until I knew everything I needed to know. Marbles, not unlike Lego mini figures (my other addiction) apparently require a lifetime of learning to understand ! Please bear with me ! I have 3 things on my mind ! First one ! So I found this Itty bitty teensy tinesy thing and I absolutely love it to pieces ! Had to share ! I wasn't near my caliper so I placed it next to a small blue Aleve tablet and a guitar pick. Second ! The old marbles with the ribbons of color....are those ribbons of color called ribbons ? waves ? For some reason I want to call them swishes but im pretty sure Nike already owns Swish ! And why do some marbles have the same type of ribbons on the surface of the marble rather than inside ? And what exactly are those swishy marbles called ? And third ! Any ideas on what themulti colored marble in the third photo[ is ? My Google image searches kept coming up with Jaba but it looked nothing like the others. I like how the salmon top and bottom are completely opaque but the center orange has much more depth ! The salmon stripish things are wider on one side. I thought it was going to wrap around but instead it just tapers down on the opposite side..... it's a beautiful piece 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alta Posted Friday at 12:34 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:34 AM I hope others will comment as well, but here goes. The little one is called a Peewee Cat's Eye. Based on the colours I want to say it is likely Japanese but not sure. The 'ribbons' are called vanes. Those are multi vane cats eye marbles (usually they are 6 or 9 vaned but can differ). Some of those may be classified as caged cats eyes. Most looks a bit modern The last one looks like it may be a Peltier Rainbo, but will need more photos.  Ps. I am a big collector of lego minifigs as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted Friday at 01:02 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 01:02 AM I don’t have any Pelts  that have the same ribbon configuration. If it was Pelt it would be a Tiger. I don’t think it’s a MK,Vitro or Akro. I think it’s an early Vacor. We’ll see what others have to say🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted Friday at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:32 AM Giggle/Google and AI don’t know diddly squat about marbles. This Board knows marbles. Do…..stick around. There are no robots here that I’m aware of. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted Friday at 03:36 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 03:36 AM I think if we could see a couple more pictures of the salmon/orangey one at the bottom that would be great. Whatever it is, it looks like a really interesting marble. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted Friday at 06:44 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:44 PM Here is a Pelt I think confirms your marble is a Pelt. Are there black ribbons on both sides of the wide ribbon like mine🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
