Thanks Chuck, the Peltier "Inky" you an Galen describe is a marble I have seen, may have one I'd have to look. Would like to see the Alley version . Negetory on the " Inky types". Bo

Here are some inky types.

Yes, I should have called them pinchers, they don't have pontils. As for nines I don't know but I'll get them out and have a closer look.The shooter has a little aventurine too. Thanks for the pointers.

I think these may be Japanese pinch pontil.

Great thread, great marbles

Thanks Steph ,I guess the blue color and aventurine were making me think something else. I have had aventurine in my Akro agates before in a different color combo and they all came from the same box so Akro works for me.

Nice van, I will be looking for that, I like cars too. The more I look at these I don't know if Akro? ,Vitro?, ? .I had a box of corks and I took all the patch marbles out. Many are opalescent three in the first row are opaque with transparent blue patch,the one in the middle pic is loaded with blue aventurine in the blue, is that different? Did Akro or Vitro make anything like these.

Found this the other day going thru some slags and this one has a pontil. Steph had mentioned Barberton or Barberton green. I like to have more.

Ann I am becoming convinced that mine is Alley. It has very fine aventurine. A tiny JGG?

Here is another picture of the marble I posted earlier that I thought could be champion. This marble has some surface swirling going on, there is white translucent aventurine glass also. The size is 21/32" . Great marbles everyone.

Champion

first is Master second Champion.

This little master is loaded with aventurine , it's a favorite of mine.

Same run?

I believe these are Rainbo's some of my favorites

Great marbles everyone! I have taken a liking to big slags lately but haven't found anything bigger than 1-1/4"

Nice marble Craig. I have liked them for a long time and after looking for years I learned they made shooters too.

I don't know about Barberton, it was just in with a group I got recently. It has a regular pontil, kinda thought maybe "Shanghai". But could be Barberton green? Size is 21/32"

A little transitional I just got off ebay.

Champaigne bubbles for 2015

Some big slags. From 1-1/8" to 1-1/4"

Dammit! I must be a Jabowocky ,I thought I was a Pelthead!

Hey, that Jabowocky remark is an insult to Polish people all over the world! LOL
