Very nice, Art! The pouch reminds me of the "V" for victory pouch - does it fit in the insert, which doesn't look like it had marbles in it? Do you know what box/tin the insert is from? The size seems less common to me.

I'd say there's a fair chance it is a Cerise but what do I know?

Pretty typical for Scott . . .

Random swirls . . . Alley Sistersville on the outside and CAC in the middle.

Nice marble, Bill - Akro?

I don't have many contemporary marbles either but here's a 1 1/3" Scott Patrick . . .

I think it's a newer marble, perhaps a JABO swirl, not a corkscrew.

Is it an honest peewee . . . 1/2" or less? It seems like it should ring a bell but it doesn't, at least at the moment. Colors remind me of Cairo but I'll need to think on it a while . . .

My guess is an Alley from Sistersville.

Me too.

It doesn't look Ravenswood to me - I'm thinking Heaton too.

Looks like it might be one of Scott Patrick's to me.

Art, That is a killer marble, but I would call it a Blueblood, a Blue Oxblood is a different marble, AFAIK.

The box you're showing is 3D printed (plastic) - no mistaking it for an original. And the seller clearly states it is a fantasy box. The seller of the box Art is referencing simply doesn't state that it's original, probably hoping that someone will think it is, and will bid accordingly.

A little drizzle is always nice!

It's called Abalone, sort of a metallic finish - and that's a killer example.

Those are nice ones to have, Art!

I have always liked those Presidential Sets - such a great item. Did Nola get to keep that marble she made? That would be a pretty special marble!

Oxblood is oxblood, as you say, even though there may be a few variants. All the rest, Blueblood, Blue Eggyolk Oxblood, Blue Oxblood, etc., are just names of a particular type of marble that has oxblood on it. Having said that, I have seen people use some pretty creative terms for marketing purposes - usually in an effort to call something that is not oxblood, oxblood. lol

Way to start the day, Dave! Lady Tater

Now that I think about it, Chad's marble is the Blue Oxblood, the one I posted (and @I'llhavethat1 is talking about, I think) is called a Blueblood - sorry for the confusion!

And marbles like this one that Chad posted are also called "Blue Oxbloods"

The ones I have and have seen have the oxblood under blue. If it was on top of the blue, I don't think it would be so hard to see.

Here is a Blueblood . . . The oxblood is under blue and if you don't light it up good and look look closely it can look like a dark blue corkscrew.

I think Cairo too. "Vitro" is the Latin word for "glass".
