Isn't AV a precipitate of excess colorants?
-
I suppose it could be but something just looks off to me - I'm thinking about a "burnt" Vacor Red Tide.
-
I was thinking more of a "Figure Eight" too.
-
We just had a discussion about those types not too long ago . . .
-
There are a few pretty similar to Jeff's marbles in here . . .
-
I think the first is a Vacor but it looks kinda CAC-ish - pretty nice one, I'd say. Not too sure about the second but it may be Vacor too.
-
Here's a Royal with light AV in the transparent red patch - a first for me, and tough to capture in a photograph. I hope you can see it . . . if not, just trust me. 😄

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Nice brick and a couple of Popeyes - I'd say you did great, congratulations! -
The pink/lavender glass is the giveaway.
-
I'm thinking maybe Marble King.
-
Common Marble King Tricolor patch and ribbon - but not as common as the one colors. And you should always look for AV in MK's green. 🙂
-
@Jeff54 Thanks again, I wasn't entirely sure the "Blue Boy" name pre-dated the newer versions - it'd be interesting to have one of each in hand. 🙂
-
Thanks, Jeff. I gotcha now.
-
Yes, it's an oddball that appears to have gotten twisted in the production process. Sometimes, oddballs make for the best marbles. They are often far more interesting than their standard counterparts. 🙂
-
A few later All Reds with shiny metallic-looking patches.

It's got a nice fold in it and the seams are pinched together to make that nice "V" pattern in pic 1 (the "pinched-together" seams are easy to see in photo 2 - they would normally be on opposite sides of the marble).
-
That is pretty typical for a Peltier Rainbo pattern and colors.
-
@Jeff54 Thanks, Jeff - I was thinking you'd probably have more detail about these. Do you recall how Jill's dug one might have differed from the modern ones. I seem to recall that a Blue Boy back in the day was more like what they call a Golden Boy today - but my knowledge and recall of MKs is obviously not as good as yours so, yeah, there is that. lol
-
I do think it's called a Blue Boy, and I think they were made sometime in the early 2000s but not entirely sure. They also did red/orange and white ones (maybe more) I have no idea if they are named or not.

Here's some I posted in West Virginia Wednesday
-
I'm having a hard time seeing a pontil. It might just be the fact that this one appears tough to photograph - not too uncommon with monochrome marbles. Does it look like any of the pontils shown in this thread?
-
I agree, it's one of the newer marbles, jabo contract. DAS or Sammy.
