  1. I think it's an Alley from St. Mary's.

    I am pretty sure Odin and Superhero were different marketing names for the same marbles.
  3. A Vitro Tiger Eye and and a couple of Alleys it looks like to me.

    "Odin" is the name Vacor gave those marbles - he was also a Norse god.

    Cosmic Rainbows

    Those are great bags Miss Marbles!
  6. Very strange. It looks more like a piece of decorative glass than a marble - the sort that might be sold for aquariums or flower pots.
  7. Did you notice that it's near peewee size, Ron?
  8. The first ones are Vacors from Mexico and it wouldn't surprise me if the second one was too.
  9. I thought the blue looked a little too translucent for a seahorse but maybe not.

    Vacor would be my guess too.
  11. It's such an odd patch, it sort of looks Vitro, but I wonder about Peltier possibilities too. The base is pretty cool but would be odd for either type, I think.
  12. Pretty cool color scheme. I don't think it's Vitro, Pelt or MK so . . . maybe Master, or foreign?
  13. I don't think Master.
  14. If they were hand-gathered MFC Persians I might be able to see it, but I don't think you're missing anything here, Tommy, although the seller may be.
  15. It's NBD, that's for sure. Although, I do think using the term "Turkey Head" rather than "Turkey Swirl" when referring to that turkey head pattern will make your meaning more clear. 🙂
  16. I wonder if you're just a little too close to the marble. It looks like the camera is focusing more on the background than the marble.

    .91 MK?

    I don't think this one is MK - maybe foreign.
  18. I have never heard the term "Turkey Swirl" in reference to particular marble either. I think the confusion comes because the term "Turkey" or "Turkey Head" is commonly associated with a certain "Turkey" pattern on CAC marbles, as your reference says, but there is no marble referred to as a "Turkey Swirl". Regardless, your marble is not a CAC, it's an Alley, and Alley can display their own pattern often referred to as a "bird head", although the pattern in your first photo does sort of resemble the "Turkey Head" often seen on CACs. I think the author of your reference is referring to the "turkey swirl" pattern in the last sentence and not to a particular type of marble. CAC swirls are random and those with identical color combinations can vary - some might show the "turkey head" pattern while others do not, and a CAC swirl with a turkey head pattern is not usually referred to as a "Turkey Swirl". I hope this helps clarify the terminology.
