A disappointing chunk out of a neato corkscrew
Ric replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
When my father passed away quite a few years ago, I found a few marbles he had stashed away in a trunk with some other childhood stuff. Among them were two of the much more typical blue on orange corkscrews and two patches to match - must have been some of his favorites. -
Oh boy - what fun. Lot's of good looking multi-colors in that bunch!

I'm digging the AV @Tommy ! 👍
-
It looks like a Vacor to me too.
-
Nice marbles! The left one might be what some would refer to a Burnt Liberty, since the red looks a bit cooked.
-
A couple of compartments in the first tray and maybe a few other of the contract run marbles here and there but the vast majority, maybe not all, of the rest are JABO Classics. Nice selection! Pretty much everything with any significant bling will be from a contract run.

Metallic Bruiser . . .

Couple of slags . . .

Alley is what I'm seeing.

A different style ceramic (13/32" to 7/16") from a current (Bob Block) Ebay listing . . . Item # 125123298772

Here are two more of his ceramic marbles (3/4" & 11/16") from a recent Ebay auction . . . I believe the flowers are some type of a decal fired under the final glaze. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267021708197

Close enough for horseshoes, hand grenades, and love (in general), I guess.

Nice old 6-ribbon Pelt. It seems like they called those Red Zebras at one time, but I'm old - who knows what they call them now, if anything. 🙂

Here are some of Marlow's contemporary Benningtons that David Chamberlain had pinned . . .

I think they are both JABO Classics.

You got that right, Charlie - an early one from Sistersville too, I think.
-
Nice marbles . . . post them up here too!
-
This one is only 1" but it's got a bit of bling in it . . .
-
It would be nice to see some more examples of Marlow's marbles, so please post them if you have them!
-
I'm not sure which contract run this is from but at just over 1 1/16", it's a big one . . .

Great group!

Happy MK Monday!

The one on the left looks like an Alley to me. The one on the right looks sort of like a "lazy" corkscrew. And marble sizing was not that precise, so that 37/64" marble would have sorted with the 5/8" marbles as one of the smallest of the No 0 size, which would run from a hair above 9/16" to 5/8".

Swirls are tough. Fortunately, there is a new book in the works (soon to be released, in my understanding) that is chock full of high quality photos and, in my opinion, is sure to become the go-to reference for swirl identification. Maybe one of its authors, @cheese, can tell us more.
