I think a question for Jeff would be was there any transparent red or crystal used in the run?
-
So Alley cullet was used for striping on transparent red baseglass? I could see that! Looking at Galdys' pics compared to the Jalley pic I posted, I'd say hers would be the cream of the crop.
-
With St. Patty's Day coming up, I thought I would spread a little "luck of the Irish" . . . The biggest is 15/16" and the Rainbow Red is just for size comparison.
-
If those are made from Alley cullet I will be astounded - the likelihood seems near zero to me. Here is a pic from the JABO Jalley run that @Bocci posted at Jabo Collectors of America
-
Nah . . . are you're thinking about the Mansion run at JABO?
-
Gnarly lashes on this one, no doubt.
-
Me too - patch style. Some of them glow and others don't.
-
I don't think it's a ghost - not enough transparency, but I do think it's from St. Mary's.
-
JABO.
-
I'm always up for talking marbles and I am drawn to the "gray areas" by nature so I appreciate you posting the oddballs and I hope you'll keep it up!
-
At this point, it seems the likelihood they are JABO is higher than the likelihood that they are Vitro but I am still interested to know what Josh @Nantucketdink thinks about them.
-
I really don't see anything that would make me think they are made by different companies and I think the likelihood that they are is very small so I am not sure what to think now. Transparent red base glass is very uncommon for Vitro and it's quite common for JABO so . . .?
-
They all look the same to me. And I sure thought the dark color on the mibs in the OP was purple and not red covered by blue or something. Can you show me a pic of all 5 together but grouped by base glass?
-
Wow, are those the same marbles as the OP? If the base glass is red I'm heading for JABO but quick.
-
Me too - an Akro Blue Eggyolk, another Moss Agate type, I think. They're great with oxblood too.
-
It's Akro but it's a wanderer, I think Steph would be happy if I called it a Lemonade Moss Agate, and I try to keep Steph happy.
-
But you know me - I'm all about statistics, and I am happy to play those odds!
-
I suppose I should broaden my horizons and stop over there occasionally- I am such a creature of habit.
-
Ron is my favorite person to agree with!
-
Thanks Ron. How do you have such a good memory - you taking vitamins or something. lol.
-
Interesting marble. My first thought is foreign.
-
Does it react to UV?
-
Both. Does light pass through the base glass?
-
Man, Ron, that's a great box. I'd have a tough time letting it go! Thanks for posting a parting pic - I am sure I have several of these.
