  • Sit down and sort a group of vintage machine-made mibs with me! This specific lot was full of Peltiers, Vitros, Akros, and some West Virginian Swirls!

      I have a small handful of marbles I know are old, and think they may be good ones, but theres so many types and manufacturers that it seems hopeless. Could i send u a group photo and get a little help identifying them ? Let me know, ans thanks again.

    I believe a lot of the curious marbles that you have are Heaton agate company and Davis marbles. Lovely lot 100%.

    I hadn't bought any bags of mixed junk for a long time. I decided to pick a few up at the show last week. To my surprise I actually found a few nice pelletier's for pennies on the dollar😮

    At 8:25 that looks like an Akro Carnelian. Cool variety!

      I think that's a definite possibility and is at the top of my guesses! I took it to the Omaha show and completely forgot to ask other's for their opinions
      Appreciate your thoughts!

    I just picked up some marbles at an antique market today. Was wondering if you could help me identify them. They are for sale as well. If you would be interested in any of them I would give ya a good deal on em

    thebrown marble you said you did not know is a slag.

    • @metamibs
      @metamibs  Рік тому

      Could you specify what time that marble appears in the video?
      I imagine you're referencing the swirl at 9:42 which is very close to a slag but not quite. The swirls in that marble contain a darker color glass than the base, not the required white glass to be a slag.

      Which marble are you referring to Joe?
      Perhaps the UV mib at 10:00? I don't think that one specifically is a cherry ade, although it seems mighty close!

      I'd say that's a solid bet, although I'm still on the Vitro/Pelt fence ⚖

      Would you provide a timestamp for the marbles you're referring to? I don't recall any that I would've marked as Ravenswood, but I'm also not the best with swirls!
      I would love to get another Ravenswood ID'd in my collection! I have just a few, and they're all pretty busted.

  • @lelonbond6682

    the colors in your last bag are the same as the bag before it.

    • @metamibs
      @metamibs  Рік тому

      They're close, but not quite the same. They could both be Peltiers, but the glass color/composition is different.
      Colors don't always show the best in video :/

      The first set of swirls give me a Ravenswood vibe the way the color ribbons dive into the marble and you see the little thumbnail shape windows the ribbons make.

    In reference to any Vitro, they all have the color red in them. It's something the makers decided from the beginning. Just a bit of info that helps me sort my Vitties.

      ​@@metamibs you need to disregard that comment. There are many Vitros without red in them. They commonly used red but it was not a priority in every run that's for certain .

    • @metamibs
      @metamibs  Рік тому

      ​ @Rockkhound But then why would they call their marbles "All Reds"?!? (I jest)
      It is a funny thought to think they hid just the tiniest bit of red in each marble, like a secret.
      Thanks for the comment and correction Rockkhound! Discussion and nuance is half the fun of marble collecting, IMO.

    • @rockkhound943

      @Meta Mibs Yes marbles are in my opinion the most complicated hobby there is. So much diversity. The all reds is just a name that's not a full description of their whole entire marble library. Just for example, aqua Marines have no red in them.
