    Handmade?

    ann replied to browncat73's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    I don`t see a pontil in the photos - can you get a close-up of it?

    Interesting!

    Handmade?

    Me either. But it is machine-made.

    Am also leaning toward JABO special run for the middle one. Almost looks like a Lawn Chair, but hard to tell in a photo.

    I don`t think it`s a pincher either, but if you look at that spidery cut-off, i think it probably has to be Japanese. Can`t say Yasuda because I don`t know that they made marbles like this. I only have the slag/transitionals and the figure-eights. It`s certainly foreign, anyway.

    The syrupy I agree with. But sloppy, in my mind, indicates Akro. Also, Akro - when they started making their own slags - did not particularly try to get a nine-and-tail pattern. So I`m stickin` with Akro, with a slight chance of MFC. Anyhoo, it`s a nice slag, no matter who.

    My thoughts too.

    I`d say yes. The amber ones look like my MFCs. A few of the blues. Maybe a couple of the greens. IMO.

    MFC is possible. My MFCs are more clearly defined than this one; white more solid, 9 very evident/solid, and very smooth cut line the same. Basically, not so wispy. On the other hand, Akro didn`t usually use as much white as this. So I guess I`m about 80% Akro and 20% MFC. `Course, there are those darned exceptions to every rule, in marbles.

    Me either. From these pics, anyway. New ones welcome!

    That`s what I`m talkin` about!

    Nice.

    Glad I found this thread again. akroorka, mine is not an insert box, which is what you`re asking about, but my box of Pelt Cerises has metal corner reinforcements just like those shown on your insert box. FWIW.

    Anything that has bacon on it is a friend of mine. I think I have one of the blue-based ones too - oh shucks, now I`ll have to get out my Alleys. Life is hard.
  17. ann
    WOW.

    I would be inclined to your yellow banana in amber glass being right, except for one thing - the Peltier Honey Amber cat has unusually flawless glass - no bubbles, no small debris, and your example seems to have some small bubbles. I could be wrong - there are exceptions to everything. Maybe the few others who have the Honey Amber will chime in.

    Hello

    You will be very welcome here! Check out the Archives and Steph`s Study Hall. Lots there, but only the starting point. We used to have a London collector here, but she doesn`t seem to have posted in some time, unfortunately. So welcome in.

    Yes, I just saw that bacon thread, too. Was startled, in an ESP sort of way! Everybody who`s following this thread, check out Ron`s bacon. Well, you know what I mean.
  22. ann
    That`s what caused me to fall in love with the old Germans first. Only when I had a nice sampling of as many types as I could get my hands on did I start to see the attractions of other types of marbles. But I still have a pretty soft spot for the old Germans. OK, a very soft spot.

    That`s it, that`s my family!
  24. ann
    Maybe somewhere around the bacon family? I know I consider myself part of the bacon family.

    I lean to JABO too. Christensen didn`t do much with blended colors, as I understood it, outside of their two-seamed crazy opaques. Swirls were more about very sharp separations (and flame-y ones, too!), I think. But I can always be wrong.
