Didn't know if they made a transparent clown or a white pelt. The yellow one is a peewee.

I've looked again and I'm not sure about your last pic. They look sort of cateyeish. The first pic are called sunsets. Don't know if the others have a name.

I'm not a pelty person, I do Vitros so I guess you could say I'm a real newish pelty lol.

Some of mine have a bluish base. I think they are more rare. It is believed they were an attempt by Peltier to compete with the cateyes. A long time ago, a marble book grouped them with the cateye marbles. All of the color combos have air bubbles.

I do not think the yellow one would be one, I do not see any white in there, and is that yellow in the first one an anomoly to the picture and not really in the original in hand? Nice ones either way, I love the bubbles!! pax Jon _________________ Ni Carborundum Illigitmi Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Marvelous Mibs Marbles Collectors Zone Forum Index -> Marbles & Glass Chat All times are GMT - 4 Hours Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next Page 1 of 3   Jump to: Select a forum Marvelous Mibs----------------Marbles & Glass ChatMarble Myths & MisconceptionsPros & ConsArchivesThe LoungeThe Test Forum Welcome!----------------Community Guidelines & AnnouncementsContact the Moderators or Administrator The Collectors Corner----------------Collectors Anonymous  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
