I'm a little early if that's OK? Ignore that big amber slag 😊

Each piece in the “Last Daze” series is born in the twilight of the torch. These marbles are made from the scraps, the color tests, the strange ends of rods the ghosts of the day’s experiments. They may carry scuffs, fingerprints, tool marks. No plan, no polish just the raw, unfiltered last daze of creation. Each marble is a time capsule of the daze. A piece of evidence that something happened today. A messy, magic, End-Of-Days monument.

Sunday Best bump!

My favorite G & Y Popeye, I paid $20.oo for this one 18 years ago. Wet mint, not a flea or dimple on it. Purple and Yellow is still my fav. Popeye color combo. My favorite Purple and Yellow, a few tics but the whispy strands are killer in this one.

This one is going to sell in the next year or so. I have had it, did a little work on it and it is time to pass it on to the next collector. Just a very rare thing to find and afford. Bottom Feeders rule! Marble--On!!

Welcome back Linda, I like your new Avatar

OP is Alley IMO almost every manufacturer made marbles at one time or another that exhibit a turkey type head or a close facsimile thereof. Second looks Akro to me, never seen ac CAC W lashes from dull shears, if you have another example of one it would be nice to see it. I no longer collect CAC gave & traded them all away years ago, Alley and Pelt now, and of course my first love of when I started collecting marbles in the 80's German Handmades. Funny, nobody wanted machinemades then, my how things do change.

🧩 Every piece was once bound for the trash. Now, it’s treasure... permanent proof that the fire never wastes a single moment.Trash Into Treasure. What you're looking at isn't just glass trash it's evidence. Evidence that something happened today in the studio. A swirl of stormy steel teal and silvered chaos red-and-black vortex sealed under clear 🌌 “Blurple” Colorway: Blue • Purple • Midnight Fade *Mib soft purple blue fog like Leftover cane. Broken tips. Failed starts. 🔥 This isn’t the clean, polished glass of galleries. This is "Last Daze" glass

Its amazing what you can find when you wear the reading glasses you are in denial about needing!..lol...I found this i believe is a nice Pelt slag, thought it was just a blue marble, couldn't see the lines..lol size is .57

There's a picture I see online from time to time -- a moldy orange with green mold on top, white mold around the middle and orange still on the bottom. Every time I see it I think "Vitro".

finally cracked…seeing marbles everywhere

Kokomo 🔥🔥🔥 RAR

Looks Jabo to me. Likely Classics era.

X2 love those

Agree

Alley Coral

No Pelt

The amber one is definitely a nice CAC. I’m not sure about the green one. The last shot of the amber one is a great angle shot🔥 RAR

One of the reasons I'm so happy about this little lot, is that I was absolutely not expecting to find anything as good as this on the site I was on. I was only searching to see if any of the many Vacors on there caught my eye. And yes, the bee has AV.

Amazing as always @stephenb What a display of some of the best 🤤 🤤 🤤

Vacor

Two modern mk and the lighter one looks like an Akro cork.

I don't see a window? I thought it was a requirement for them? Not sure. Very nice.

Vitro Fruit Loop

Midwest Marble show scores.

I’m getting Akro Vibes. I don’t want to commit to the patch being Oxblood so we’ll see what’s others think🔥 RAR

A nice swirly Christensen Snotty I used to own for this "Slags & Swirls Saturday" I traded it for a couple large sized contemporary's to a marble friend years back. No longer do I have any Christensen.

Killer vitro

Nice 👍🏼 👍🏼

Agree, a dug marble, I have a bunch of Heaton W an abalone looking surface on them, some are just coated. I guess it's some kind of chemical reaction between the glass and the chemicals and moisture in the ground that makes the glass react after being in the ground so long. Same Abalone like reaction on the glass surface from one of the dug Heaton I have

My Akro Entry for Today. These Will be up on EBay on Sunday night!

No that’s a Sistersville on page 14 of the WVS book

Imperial 🔥 RAR

No, not Peltier

Agree W transitional

Thanks for the reply and help. Mib has a cold roll making it look out of round. I've cropped the same images. Hopefully they'll look better. Let me know. Apologies for the lack of quality images lately. I'll get it figured out...cheers!
