This showed up in the mail today. New seller described it as an Akro. Ummm? No.

Bulgarian confirmed over on AllAboutMarbles.com

Initially described as a Transitional, seller contacted me and said she came to believe it was Bulgarian and I could cancel the buy. I wanted to see it in hand and she offered to take it back if I'd pay return postage. It's a very pretty mib. Just under 15/16 (29/32). Very rough pontil - third photo. Comments welcome.

I've just called them Japanese Transitionals.

Colors make me think Christensen Agate.

That is one sad bag...

I'm afraid I agree with Jabo.

Not seeing slag. I'm going with WV swirl.

Not Master. Eye lashes do lean towards Akro.

Cheese -- I've got a fellow collector friend who's dying to find another Toucan. There has *got* to be more out there. Repost of my pair.

Took this photo for another forum, but thought I should post it here also. Four early Peltier NLR swirls. All just under 7/8. Little Superboy is just under 5/8 for comparison. A Spiderman, a wannabe Flaming Dragon, a Rebel and a Ketchup and Mustard.

A group of contemporaries in my collection. Love the Kitty at the top.

Late to the party. Your Blue Sky is in fact a Blue Sky and I'm pretty certain your Coral is an Alley Coral. Transparent base or opaque? This matched set of Ravens I acquired more than 15 years ago. Fourth and Sixth columns are the most common brown-based Blue and Green swirls. The second column seems to be much harder to find.

So... Here you go. A bit of color.
