Might be an old-style Hurricane? I don't know Vacors that well.
-
Is that mib as out of round as it appears in pics 3 & 4. It's a crazy looking Vacor - almost looks like someone torched. it.
-
I'm pretty sure these are German and I think they're kinda cool . . . The biggest (first) one is 7/8". The two on the right almost look like they were floating is some junk in the kiln.
-
I think the only MK I have seen with seams this offset is one of those crazy dug swirls.
-
Wow, the seller apparently misplaced them or dropped the box in the middle of the road.
-
The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Nice! At over 1 1/4" I'd say that big one probably is MFC. Looks like you got a decent little Christmas Tree too. -
Champion probably produced more swirls than any company other than Alley and yet we rarely see marbles identified as such, unless they're the bicentennial, NOFs or Furnace mibs. I think it's because we just don't know alot about their early production.

Yeah, wonky MKs aren't so uncommon, but this one doesn't seem so wonky to me, just unusual. And I can't believe I haven't seen others like it. It's pretty back-lit but kinda dull in-hand.
-
Red clay body with a glazed white painted slip. It's unusual, at least for me, haven't seen one quite like it. It'll be interesting to hear what others have to say.
-
Another excellent example with great marbles! I am liking the green/lavender examples upper right too.
-
Nice - the white peewee is great!
-
I might lean Alley but the split ribbon bothers me a little.
-
I think Champion is a possibility here too.
-
My best guess is Champion but it could easily be another maker too.
-
I think Ravenswood is a possibility too.

@Steph@Fire1981@schmoozer@William I appreciate all of your thoughts!
-
I agree . . . opalescent base glass, a Lazy "S" shaped seam that's near 90 degrees offset fom the other one, it's a crazy MK, no doubt. But I think this one would be odd no matter who made it. 🙂
-
Is this an unusual MK or is it a common type? Just how uninformed am I?
-
Thanks you two!
-
Tha That's what I was thinking but the transparent base was throwing me off. It seems unusual for this color marble, but that might just be because I really don't pay much attention to MKs, especially the newer ones.
-
not too sure why though. I mean, it's clearly an MP, right? And the seams are offset by near 90 degrees relative to one another.
-
Great bunch of marbles, Ron. You know I really like those Rollers and that one's a dandy, but I didn't think they were actually made by AT&MC? And the puzzle is really awesome - looks like you even had some fun playing with it. lol
-
There's not a lot to go on here, but I wonder about CAC possibilities.
-
I'm thinking Heaton.
