And thank you for the date, Jeff. I thought they might be a bit later.
-
We need @wvrons to take a look at this one. It doesn't impress me as CAC so it almost has to be Ravenswood or Alley.

There are a bunch of good Alleys in this post, Dave. This one's a dandy and not too easy to find.
-
First, I'd call it a really dandy marble. - I'd love to see it backlit. What size is it? What I'd most like to call it is . . . mine. 🙂 I think it's a Ravenswood Solar Flare but it might be an Alley Exotic Coral. It's a great marble, either way.
-
I don't think either is a Bronze Zebra. The primary ribbons and AV on those are pretty distinctive.
-
When you do, please buy one that will read in fractional inches - decimals are a downer for marbles IMO.
-
I need to correct myself. I do not think this is any kind of Tiger Eye - just a big Vitro Patch and Ribbon. It seems to have a patch and ribbon style like a Type I Tiger Eye but they have white veneered on clear transparent base glass.
-
What size is it?
-
I think newer MK too - they have two patches. The older patch & ribbon style have one patch and two ribbons. Having said that, both can get a little crazy sometimes with patches that look more like ribbons and ribbons that look more like patches.
-
It's a big ol' Vitro Tiger Eye Type IV, as far as I can tell. The patch and ribbons can get pretty wild in the bigger sizes.
-
This is a tough one because of the patch shape and the cutoffs, I want to say Akro but I think there is a good chance it's just an odd Peltier because they made a lot of black AV patches like this and I have not seen many, if any, Akros that are similar.

Oh yeah, that's a good marble - nice find! It's great when you find nice marbles you didn't know you had. 🙂 -

Those are pretty! -
Happy Holidays to all! from Indiana

And you're still perfectly normal around here - it's part of the beauty of this place!
-
We're pretty liberal with the hints around here too . . . Can you imagine walking into the five-and-dime and seeing a shelf full of these? Kids probably gobbled them up!
-
Well, admitting you have a problem is the first step . . . I did that about twenty years ago and I worked on step two for so long I don't even remember what it is. And honestly, I don't really care. lol
-
Nice thing about the marble board . . . cheating is allowed, in fact, it's almost expected! 🙂
-
Great group, Dink. Thanks for posting them!
-
I wonder if those are newer - you usually don't find such distinct 4-color ones that are older, unless they're hybrids or blended, and if I recall correctly, I have seen some similar foreign marbles. And now it's time for a quiz . . . what do you call that one with purple and red ribbons in the group of three (background of the last two pics)?
-
Just be careful, Melissa, the marble bug can bite pretty hard and it's nearly impossible to recover completely from the affliction. I don't usually tell people how many marbles I have - it's embarrassing!
-
Wow, that's a sweet marble! An Irish Bumble Scout! Of course, I just made that up. 🙂
-
Great mibs - nice purple colors, and I really like the blue popping out in the last one - very nice!
