    Nice colors on some of those. The pattern on the last one is really nice.
  2. Ric
    @Tommy Yup, those are pretty 'bos!

    You may be right about a double ingot, but there is usually still some sign of the interface between the two ingots, even if it is all smoothed out. And I'll have to get into the archives and see what I can find - is a row 5 marbles or 6? 🙂

    I get the feeling that your photo is a little bright so it's hard to tell from these pics. But it does have that "mottled" look that you often see on oxblood so . . . ?

    Pretty sure that's one of those Horizontal Lathe Swirls - sorta like a Navarre, but wood.

    Those are pretty marbles - it doesn't take much to go from swirls to two seams or vice versa.
  7. Ric
    Dang, look at the pontil on that marble!

    @akroorka This is why I don't think it's a double ingot . . .

    And cateyes isn't a word so . . . ? Al is correct according to Webster's but I'm going to use Cat's Eyes anyway, because I really don't care.

    Cool!

    I ask because the Pixie Dusts are the only MKs I have seen with that type of blue AV. Thanks for this, Melissa. I have not seen them before and they are pretty cool marbles! Do you have any idea when they were made or how rare they are?
  13. Ric
    Is that one of the Pixie Dusts?

    Melissa, please educate me on your "Snow Globe". The only Snow Globes I know about are Masters. Can I see a few more views of yours?
  15. Ric
    It's not a Kokomo, and they didn't make any conqueror-like marbles.

    Keep moving forward, TJ - you'll get there. And I must say, I am really looking forward to the result of your efforts!
  17. Ric
    Couple a dandies there!
  18. Ric
    I'll go with Alley.
  19. Ric
    Well, TJ, I'd sure like to see one of those! Hint, hint . . .

    I'd have it with my Vitros - a Phantom Conqueror variant, I think.
  21. Ric
    Hmmm . . . At 3/4", JABO is a possibility but it might just be a really weird Vitro that folded up and "swallowed" one of its cut-lines.

    To be a double ingot that crease (or evidence of it) should go all the way around the marble. And this one looks more like a game marble to me. Flinties will have an opalescent glow when backlit and many will display "fish eyes" at the poles. I think Akro may have packaged them as Fire Opals too.
  23. Ric
    Sure is a pretty thing. It doesn't look American made to me. It may be an English Whispler but at over 1 3/4" I sort of doubt it. At that size, Vacor seems like a possibility but I have not seen one like it.
  24. Ric
    That's a nice variety of cool bags, Al. Thanks for showing them!
  25. Ric
    A few? That's the only one I have ever seen. lol Nobody has ever dug Master, as far as I know, and that probably at least partially explains the lack of errors you see.
