Female busts like this are rare but I think there are two different versions of Jenny Lind. I'm not sure if there even are any other female subjects.
-
Jenny Lind, perhaps.
-
Good thought, Joe, Cairo was next on my list . . .
-
My guess is foreign, mainly because I don't think I've seen an American marble like it.
-
This one's giving me a Vitro vibe.
-
Pretty sure Mega marketed it as a Superhero, like Dave said, where exactly it was made in Mexico, I don't know.
-
It's giving me a foreign vibe - Vacor, maybe?
-
Cool looking marble.
-
I'm leaning toward Ravenswood over Alley.
-
You're not going to like it but I think it's a JABO from the same run that produced some killer peewee flames.
-
Looks like it'll glow UV and a Jackson to me.
-
I think Akro too, and helmets have a transparent face, AFAIK.
-
I think they're JABOs.
-
More like a Liberty Patch.
-
Not sure I have ever seen a Wales or Pincer at 1" - I think a slightly odd Master.
-
Alley from St. Mary's, I think - too big for CAC.
-
I could see CAC.
-
Peltier Acme Realer I think.
-
@akroorka Nice bunch of marbles and a great set of pics, Art!
-
Bennington marbles in original packaging?
Ric replied to schmoozer's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Definitely something different that I've not seen before. It's hard to tell how big it might have been originally. My best guess would be it's some sort of a warmer - hang it near the fire to warm it up and use it like a heating pad, or put it at the foot of your bed on a cold night maybe . . . -
They're all giving me a Ravenswood vibe.
-
I don't think a bit of additional color is too unusual, even if it shows up only on one vane - looks cool though.
-
It looks like Vacor to me.

1) I think the term "pontil" has simply come to describe a hand-made cut-off mark, regardless of whether the marble is cut off a punty or a cane, or if the cut-off is finished in a particular way. 2) May be a single-gather German slag. 3) I think they were hand-formed but Brian @akronmarbles might know for sure.

@akroorka I think they're probably just dug. The shapes are not uncommon for dug misshaped marbles. I've got lots of Alley examples just like them. @Fire1981 Kisses are common but I don't think I've seen a four-sided one before - more like a pyramid, pretty cool.
