Happy WV Wednesday!

@akroorka It's just that the base glass of this marble reminds me a lot of the base in these no-oxblood Akro "bricks", not that I necessarily think the OP is an Akro, even though I was leaning that way slightly.

Yes, that's a pretty good reference. I have been looking for a red Cloudie for a long time but the closest thing I can find that is similar in translucency to the other colors isn't really that similar at all, it looks far more opaque and filamentous - a bit more like a solid game marble. In fact, if this marble didn't have that red on it, I might think this was one. Having said all that, if anyone has a nice photo of a red Master Cloudie, I'd really like to see it. Maybe they're not as elusive as I think?

@cheese This one is a shade over 5/8" and I think the glass is old, but it is kinda odd, for sure. Have you ever seen a good red Cloudie or any Master with transparent red?

@akroorka I could easily see Master but it's unlike any other I've seen. The base glass is very cool.

Yeah, I can see why people like Pelts - that's a dandy!

I'll say, it's a nice marble no matter what you call it. Now that I think of it, I may have a Melonball around here somewhere, I'll have to take a look - seems like I had one at some point too.

I think this may be another Champion.

My best guess for this one is Champion.

Just a few Rainbos . . .

Nice way to start the day! @davesnothere Cool Rainbos, it's pretty fun collecting the white on transparent colored glass Rainbos to go with that clear transparent one - they made them with several different base colors @ScottH Nice group - good looking Rebel!

A little different Superior . . .

Maybe not too helpful but it might give you an idea - this took a STRONG light!

I am leaning Akro over Master Made for this one but I would like some other opinions. One seam looks a little tight for Akro but the other doesn't look at all Master to me. Then there's the base glass, It totally reminds me of one of those translucent Akro "non-brick bricks", like a Mulberry Brick, with red or something. 😄

Here are some common Rainbow Reds - I like the way the ribbons are misplaced on the top middle one. 🙂

@Dave 13 I like the blue and brown one! @davesnothere I haven't seen one quite like that before, so thanks for showing it - nice color! @William Are you pulling a Ron - sneaking a Vitro in just to see who's paying attention, or am I seeing things? 🙂

Nice find!

It looks like a six-ribbon Peltier Rainbo.

Interesting marble, it looks mostly Asian to me.

It is certainly a trait on many Vacors, especially the larger ones, but you do see it on other mostly foreign-made marbles too.

Lots of nice color there, Joep!

I am not entirely sure if they would all qualify as Lilacs but I think they might.
