Feathered slags are great and that's a very nice marble in the op, I can see why you're thinking Peltier, for sure. I would like to see some examples of hand-gathered Pelt slags. Do you have any of those?

I have always liked Rainbos. Even the simple ones can be pretty cool!

Hey, watch it there buddy - that's my friend you're talkin' 'bout. And get a haircut! I saw those Heaton dig pics - you flyin' a freak flag now?

Those are some crazy nice balls, Hansel - wow! Which one is the stone marble? With lutz? lol

AV is good - nice pics, all. That's a NICE marble, Ron!

It's the best winking smile I have ever found, Roberto. Every time I look at this one I see something different.

I like Master marbles too. Nice metallic Jess!

This is a great video. Thanks for putting it together!

It's nice to see the boxes in context - love the graphics. Great display - thanks for sharing!

I like them too, and I have lot of nice rainbos but not one Pine Needle - are they HTF?

Here's a pic of Easter Eggs from Sissydear - I miss having her around here. . . . and a few more from Jeeperman: I kinda think pink is a requirement but . . .?

A few more, just in case you like them as much as I do . . .

Those are some nice ones. Tri-lites are some of my favorite marbles. The variety is endless. I could look at them all day.

Check out Santa's Bling (click links on the list, right margin). Rich has a lot of Jabo Classic pics, and lots of the newer ones too.

Popeye's usually have a good bit of clear glass - I don't really see that on the mib in question. And based on color, I think the 2nd and 4th above are Akro too. I would need to see more angles on all the others to dare a guess on those, although the blue/white swirl is probably Alley.

Good call.

I wouldn't bet against her!

I agree.

It doesn't look foreign to me and it would probably be the biggest opaque Master I have ever seen.

I have a couple of bags of the brushed patches . . . and I'm sticking with Akro.

Akro seams is my bet. And just FYI, the term cutline is usually reserved for hand gathered marbles.

It looks like an Akro "brushed patch" to me.

Friends, I am sorry to report that my dear son and favorite marble buddy, Jake, passed away early Saturday morning. At the moment, all I can muster is a link to his obituary: Jake Richard Anthony (1992-2018). I will be back in due time to post a proper tribute. If anyone wants to start without me, please do. I already miss him beyond words. -Ric

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy and be safe out there.
