The Nickel Guy Posted yesterday at 12:08 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 12:08 AM This one falls right through a 1/2 inch hole so it qualifies as a pee wee. Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy. It is a bit sharper than shown. This one was also in question elsewhere like the other three I posted here in Marble I.D. land tonight but this way is better with images of all sides. Vitro? if so what type? Do I smell a bit of that Vitro gravy? Thanks, you guys and gals rock! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted yesterday at 07:40 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:40 AM It’s Vitro. I think it’s a variation of a Tiger Eye. We’ll see if that sticks🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted yesterday at 08:33 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:33 AM Almost thought an MK at first glance, but it could be a Vitro as well... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago It's an unusual marble and a nice peewee too, IMO. And I am pretty confident it is not a Vitro. IMO, the colors aren't as they were intended and they're laid on the marble in a weird way too. But if you imagine that thin light brown color is as it should be (even though it's probably not), and the thicker red/brown ribbon is supposed to be the same as the nice orange one, you would see a flip-flopped light brown / blue / orange Peltier Rainbo. No doubt, this would be way easier to explain if we were sitting somewhere looking at this marble together, which is just another reason that marble shows are, hands-down, the best venue for learning about marbles. 🙂 And just FYI, that little mess of light brown showing on the top of the marble in the larger pic goes to the left side of that seam. This sort of thing is very common on Plets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well explained Ric....I was more against it being a Vitro as well, but couldn't rule it out as it is a unique marble for sure...MK was me reaching, otherwise was stumped....Pelt? Now that is a cool ID that you tossed into the ring for sure. I like that thought... A great marble any way ya slice it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted 15 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 15 hours ago I am going with Peltier even though I don't see it. The only Marble Show I might get to again is the NJ one in the Spring. I really liked that day. I will be taking some marbles along for an education. I wish I could sit down and talk marbles in person with a lot of you people. These earthlings just don't understand. Thanks EVERYONE so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago 21 hours ago, The Nickel Guy said: This one falls right through a 1/2 inch hole so it qualifies as a pee wee. This is the key as far as I am concerned--a Peewee. These marbles never act the same as the larger 5/8" marbles which were the more common sized ones. Some of our old "retired" friends did not think that Vitro ever made peewees. I agree and would ask you all to consider Akro here—just in respect. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago I’m out with Vitro. This is constructed like a MCR. Possibly a Tweener. There are 4 orange ribbons on one side of the seam in these pics. I think the base glass is orange. It’s not a patch. Then there’s a blue and brown ribbon. NLR have 4-6 ribbon configurations. It’s not a Rainbo🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted 6 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 6 hours ago This is a tough one. The jury is still out. I think I should take some really good pictures in the daylight tomorrow (Sunday) and post them. I very much appreciate all the attention this one got. Hope we all learn something.
