Lizzy,
You asked, "The difference in number of colors between the Vitro Lucky 6 and 7, is that the 7 has red & orange, whereas the 6 only has the red?"
My anwer is. "yes":
Didn't count the white as a color when counting colors in the, "Lucky 7", nor the, "Vitro 6" which I don't consider a, "lucky number", so to speak.
I just call it a, "Vitro six", but it certainly seems to have been made in the same way as the, "Lucky 7", so I have kept them together.
Now, please realize that that, "Vitro 6", is my name for the marble that I own, that it is a Vitro with 6 different colors, not including white and isn't ia name that I know of otherwise, published anywhere.

Windy, I believe that your second one is one of the "Irish" types. Maybe Duffy or someone else will confirm.
Marble Kings seem to have such a "range of variation" (as BT would say) for each named type. There are "Blended" and "Poor Man's" versions and maybe some that I don't even know about.
Confusing, huh?

Here is my Marble King Peacock! Could the second Marble be considered a Peacock also? Kind of has the same colors but different pattern?

Awesome, Patry!
I do see the difference in the construction of the Vitro Peacocks and the Vitro Lucky 6 & 7. Based on this, it seems that Alan's version is more of a "Lucky" type than a Peacock. Is that how it looks to you?
Does the Vitro Peacock have 6 colors (counting white as a color)?
The difference in number of colors between the Vitro Lucky 6 and 7, is that the 7 has red & orange, whereas the 6 only has the red?
(I know I'm full of questions..........but I do appreciate you sharing this with us.
)
Those MK Peacocks are beautiful! I really like the double ingot (it seems to capture the best colors of the Peacock in abundance!) The one with the transparent is also a "looker". I haven't seen one like that before!
Thanks again for showing these!

Post subject: Vitro, "Peacock's" and "Lucky Sevens"
Vitro, "Peacock's" and "Lucky Sevens" are different types of Vitro marbles in my estimation.
*** Here is an image to compare Vitro, "peacocks", a Vitro, "Lucky Seven" and a Vitro, "six", to the left of it.
The, "Lucky Seven", is in the second row, middle, right, or third from the left in the middle row.
You are showing nice images of the Marble King types of, "peacock", marbles. I have an additional marble that fits that type that has some clear in it.

Post subject: Comparison to the Marble King version called a "Peacock
I want to make sure that I've got this straight in my mind, so if anyone else has any info to share, please do.
Marble King made a marble that collectors call a Peacock too. There are 2 versions. One made in Paden City, below. The first pic is from Alan's old site and the other is from one of Bob B's. (vintagemarbles/paleopal) auctions.
.........and one type made in St. Mary's, below. (not sure where I got this pic)
