Oh what the hey, I think if you put some bright white around that patch you'd have a Vitro Wedding Cake. So there you go, three people, three different takes - you know what that means . . . You're gonna have to figure it out yourself.

Pinchers, Pincers, Wales, Mt. Fujis, I've heard them called a variety of things over the years. They are all Japanese, IMO, and they were all probably made by the same company over some period of time.

Is there a name for that style, Alan? They seem pretty nicely done to me.

Yeah, that light ribbon looks like it split, if it was together it'd still be narrow but it probably wouldn't be as ghostly. In my experience, the six ribbon bos are way less common than the four ribbons, especially those on transparent with multiple color ribbons like this one and the one on the left here, and I am confident they are earlier than the four ribbon ones too, that's why I think of them as tweeners.

Just trying to help. 🤣

This one reminds me of those "Mushroom" marbles from Japan.

I think it's probably a Vacor.

I am pretty sure they are not. This marble was hand-gathered and machine rounded, it's older, for sure.

Creased cut off Japanese transitional by Seike, IMO.

This one is Japanese to me. We should see what @shiroaiko thinks about it.

Yeah, I'm comfortable with Master now - not a brushed patch though, more of a Sunburst style.

I just want to be sure you understand that I think the white ribbon on top in the second pic is two ribbons running together. I see it as w/w/y on both sides of the seams, with the typical Pelt flip-flop.

FWIW, that blue is pretty unusual for a typical Cub Scout, IMO. I have seen these as normal P&Rs but I've also seen them called different things, Golden Boy among them, but I don't think that's right either, my best idea would be a Blended Anemic Cub Scout.

I'm having the same "strait on seam shot" issue with this one. 🙂

If it was a master, I probably wouldn't call it a "brushed patch" but I'm not even sure it's Master. I notice that you often don't show a straight on photo of both seams, which is often critical to having the best chance at an accurate ID - I'd like to see a straight on shot of the seam at the top of the marble in the upper left small pic before I say more. I do appreciate that nice shot of the other seam in the lower right photo though. 🙂

I think it's a Peltier Rainbo.

I'm pretty much with Al - $227 does seem high. But it is a 100 count bag and they are certainly less common in that size. The only other thing that I can see that may have influenced the price is that it has a mixture of patch & ribbon and double ribbon types in it, although I'm not sure how common or uncommon that is.

That is a cool marble - it almost has to be a Peltier, IMO.

I sort of think of these as "tweeners", FIre - a six ribbon Rainbo, and far less common than an Orange Sunset too, IMO.

You may want to consult Steph's old list of contemporary marble artists. And hope @Alan will take a look at it too.

It does look quite a bit like a Master but I am getting a significant "Imperial" vibe from this one.

There is no getting around the fact that this marble is messy but, FWIW, I think the seam is actually where I've drawn it. The two ribbons on either side of it have come together to produce that blobby mess of a "patch". IMHO, of course.

It's hard to keep track of the seam(s) - are there two or is it just one long one? If there are two, I'd agree with Fire - an odd Peltier Rainbo.

Heaton is my take on it - perhaps, a really Rotten Robin.

It's not Vitro. I think a Vacor Dragon is most likely.
