If the base is very translucent, I'd guess Alley Ghost.

Alley X3.

I think Vitro too.

I'm with Rick - sorta looks like an Onyx or maybe a Cardinal Red gone wild.

Probably Dragonflies then - looks like it from Albuquerque, anyways. 🙂

I know JABO had a peewee machine but not sure where it came from.

That 's what initially threw me - mine is one of the cruddiest looking Pelts I've seen. Thanks for posting yours!

Far less, I'd say.

Just a few more common types on this MK Monday . . .

Yes - the extent that the pattern produced by the striping glass appears on the marble's surface. You did, and I appreciate it too! I imagine that with machine-made marbles a lot of it is just randomness and luck, so to speak. I certainly have seen these types of calligraphy marbles with better "coverage". But as you mention, the majority have a weak "backside". And looking at the CAC photo you provided here adds a lot to your explanation of how the glass flow changes in remelted marbles like the one you discussed in another thread - thanks for that too!

I absolutely love this Champion Agate!

I'm a lucky boy! And I sure would like to see this thread grow!

Thank you, it is also one of my favorites. I like everything about it - the white base and the Alley signature blue. Could maybe have a little better coverage but it's definitely a keeper in my book too. 🙂

Nice marble, Steph. Do you know which run its from?

Something seemed off about this marble, and I think John put his finger right on it.

Whoa, John, that's a nice marble - the size is great, and I really like the the cutoff and the looping!

Thanks for checking that Dave - I'm impressed that you found it! I was expecting it to glow green. It's interesting that it doesn't.

I even like Cloudies . . . 🙂 Some of the coolest "game marbles" around, IMO.

And another Alley for good measure . . . A good white-based Calligraphy is no easier to find than one with a colored-base, IMO.

And a less pretty Alley . . . Still cool though - I like the copper-colored metallic ones.

I'll start with a pretty JABO Classic . . . Some of the classics can be very nice, IMO.

@William @Tommy @Dave 13 Nice marbles last week, especially the bricks. Dave's has been played to near perfection and the turkey head on Tommy's is killer!

I'd been thinking on this marble and had come to the conclusion that it almost has to be Alley, and then I saw this in a photo of one of Ron's Alley cases - check out the loops . . . Sorry it's a poor image - I snipped it from an enlarged photo of the marbles taken through glass and this one just happened to be in a bad spot. I think your marble is just one of those odd Alley types that just doesn't look all that Alley. 🙂

Cool, thanks Joe! I was thinking "Red Devil" for the lower right one?

It's a dandy marble, for sure. Is it a Burnt Orange Rebel or just a Burnt Rebel? It looks more orange than red to me.
