That's a great marble - heavy on the white, for sure.
-
I also gave quite a few to cub scouts when I used to do presentations about marbles and taught them how to play so they could earn their belt loop. Unfortunately, that loop was discontinued in 2015.

@William Hey buddy, all you need is a good stone chisel and a grinding wheel. 😁
-
I have about 10 gallons of damaged and too common marbles that will wind up in my landscaping this spring. That way, I still get to fish through them and look at them but they won't take up space in the house. And it's a big attraction for visiting children too. 🙂
-
Start trading - it's a good way to get new marbles. But if you're like me, it can be hard to let them go!
-
@Melissa My bet is it's 1" or close to it. Alley made lots of big ones with single colors - two colors are definitely better!
-
No way it's Akro.
-
A big Alley - what size is it? And a great photo too!
-
Nice photos - I agree with Chad.
-
Just killer patterns on that set!
-
I knew it a few days ago - thanks for the reminder. I probably won't forget it again. lol I was looking at this one . . .
-
Good! 🙂

I'd be happier with the upper right one if the patch was a brighter lipstick red and didn't have that brown bleeding out of it but if the base glows bright under UV I'd be okay with Kokomo.
-
Of course, Ravenswood was my first thought, but the internal action and the dug ones you showed make me lean toward Heaton pretty hard. I think that yellow/amber base is not so common for Ravenswood either. It's very Honey Biscuit -ish.

It's not too sloppy to be CAC, IMO. The wiggles and bare spots are what I find unusual.
-
With that cut line and those loops, Im thinking CAC.
-
I'm just goofing with you, Rick - biologists know all kinds of silly things. lol
-
Is this a pelt? And if so, an mcs or something else?

I'd say it's a MCR or an MCS without the swirl. -
More likely a Pumpkin IMO.
-
very nice, Chad - flaming oxblood!
-
The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

That's a pretty handful of glass, Melissa. -
Every squirrel finds a nut . . .

The first looks like a Vitro Transparent Whitie that's a little odd and the second looks like a brushed patch - Akro and Master both made them. This one looks a bit more Akro to me but it's tough to tell from the pics.
