  1. I believe they are called English Whisplers not sure about provenance . . .
  2. These are pretty cool too, similar deal. I am thinking Asian but . . . any thoughts? Black stripes on the surface, and the vast majority of the bubbles are attached to the vanes - kinda cool.
  3. I may have asked about these before but I would like to throw this fly back in the water. What are your thoughts on these? My inclination is Asian but . . . ? There are 5 of mibs here, three views each, in columns.
  4. AND . . . . I happen to have a few great ones around 5/8" . . . come on Bill, show us some Sparklers. I have seen one somewhere, might have been yours . . . do you have a pic you could show?
  5. Thanks Tommy, this one is Akro. Hint, hint . . .
  6. Masters can have some good lashes too.
  7. I agree, thanks for the post - love the bubbles!
  8. The one with the red/orange on it looks like some kind of hybrid Vitro All Red. I am not sure about the marble in the OP. Since the base glass is not transparent, it can't be a Vitro Tiger Eye variant unless its Type IV, and I've never seen a Type IV anything like it. It does bear a resemblance to some big JABO Classics from the 2000s and at 1" . . . ?
  9. Well at least you dredged up a good one! 👍 Nice marble too!
  10. Biscuits & Red Eye Gravy, I think, like Ron said.

    Christensen???

    I see it now- the "black patch" is actually amber base glass. I'm all in with Master now. Check out the marble lower left here:

    Christensen???

    This is a tough one. I am confident it is an Akro or a Master though. At this point, I could go either way, but I am actually leaning Master now. Maybe I'm just not used to seeing Master's with a black patch?
  13. I think they're both Peltiers - the right one looks like it has flipped red and white ribbons on opposite sides of the seams up near the pole.
  14. There is a resemblance, for sure. Gladys, Is the base glass for these two marbles transparent? Does it look like the color is primarily on the surface of the marbles? If so, I would go with Vitro, and it would be a very nice one, for sure.
  15. That greenish color, especially, is not too uncommon.
  16. It's a very common trait for Vitro, much less common on others, and I've seen it on lots of them from almost all time periods. The seams are often not directly opposite one another either.
  17. I will agree with that! And please give my regards to your "little" marble buddy next time you see him. 🙂
  18. The first couple of marbles are about as nice as I've seen. And the box is great too! Nice work, Cheese!
  19. It's a nice earlier one. Does it look like it needs a bath or is it just me? lol
  20. I agree, sort of non-descript.
  21. Are all these marbles close to 1"? The one alone on the left looks interesting.
