Frogfullmoon Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I am a new researcher of marbles and am looking to identify some of these marbles I have found in my mother's estate. I have been researching, but all seems to be rather confusing. I am asking if anyone can help confirm some of these marbles that I have found with the proper name. And to you marble experts, can you provide any other identifying tricks I can use when searching for names? Here are a few of my pics Multi colored transparent 5/8"-Peltier Glass multi-colored transparent swirl? white opaque w/ dark red swirls 5/8"- Christiansen Agate Palette #1 two color flame/Oxblood? Shooter? 7/8" white egg yolk swirl with red flame-Agro Agate Palate #1 shooter oxblood? Blue solid opaque 5/8" w/ pontils, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Peltier multi-colored swirl. Nice form to the swirling. Alley Agate Vitro. Sold in a bag marked Shooters. Game marble. hit marks, not pontil markes. Pontils are almost always above the surface(or where it would be) of the marble. No Oxblood Peace,Galen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi and Welcome in Frogfullmoon. That first one sure is nifty looking. Thanks for showing pics :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I'm thinkin' Galen about nailed it!!! But, I also agree with Felicia, that first one is way cool!!! Note the spelling for Akro Agate... A seach for Agro won't help you!! It seems to be a very common mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtay Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Peltier multi-colored swirl. Nice form to the swirling. Would that make this a Peltier swirl as well? It's got a very similar pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest browse4antiques Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi Frogfullmoon, I agree with Galen, except that you may be right about the opaque blue one. I have seen pontils like that on handmade opaques from time to time (not often, and they're not too pretty like that either). In hand you can tell easily, because if handmade, the flow of the glass will all go pole to pole (pontil to pontil), with a little twist. ...

Steph Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Would that make this a Peltier swirl as well? It's got a very similar pattern Seems like a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Would that make this a Peltier swirl as well? It's got a very similar pattern jtay It isn't if there is yellow following the red. and the base glass is off white. Yours is a Champion New Old Fashion. Mfg. in the 80's. I may have jumped to a hasty ID. Could you get a few more PICS? From a few different angles? Trying not to hijack the thread too much. Sorry if I guessed wrong. I don't know nothing, from nothing.

jtay Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hmm... could someone give me a description of a Peltier swirl? I don't think I had ever heard of them until just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Peltier Multi-colored Swirls and one big ol slag. Not mine! Peace,Galen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 jtay, if that were mine I'd have it in with my Peltiers. That of course wouldn't mean it's a Pelt, but the pattern looks convincing enough from the pics. What size? Frogfullmoon, great pattern on that 1st one.

lstmmrbls Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 The corking reverse twist pattern is also found on Vitros,Champions and a lot Jabos. A few more Pelts. Peace,Galen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
