And sometimes it ends up that way in a more evenly spaced Latt pattern, sorry terrible pic (but should be evident) . Speaking of marvering, I appreacite the marve-l of good cameras and photography skills when it comes to marbles say that 10 times fast

Yup, that's worthy of the angles, nice

Or is there a chance at Champion or something else on the metallic ones?

Some slags and a couple extra's (more than 10, I know) Old pic

Interesting. And I'm sure they could crank out a bunch in a year. Not to get too far off-topic, is that normal to just make them for a year (in terms of batch glass, etc.)

Always in the spirit, no pics to add yet but digging everything so far

So since we guessed correct, we get the marbles, right Steph? lol. Good pics Chad, is that a manual Macro setting or you zooming in with an editor to get those details

second one looks like an Alley. Last one looks like one of those old Petiers (blue lagoon, blue surfer, whatever they're being called nowadays)

Yeah, I got distracted after seeing it and couldn't focus much on the rest, lol

top right looks like an oddly patterned Peltier, middle looks like an Alley

Interesting

Those are kinda neat, what size?

Interesting

Is there a color scheme from Vacor, to make you think that way? 3rd pic down - Divot seemed a bit off for Alley, but doesn't lean me towards Vacor.

looks like it to me

Nope, and probably not CAC, the last picture shows a couple Alleys and CAC marbles though

Cool! liking that green one.

Can I ask what is chocolate Oxblood? The Oxblood looks a lot more red/orange in your second pics. Good pics, just a term I not familiar with.

Got a chuckle out of the clever title (whether it was intended or not). From the pics it looks Alley to me.

Good topic, here are a couple.

A couple I still have

Yes.

Solution: With handmades, polishing typically opens up the "ends/pontils". A titanium pen to scribe a P in that area would identify it as polished. And as far as Stephs comment re: "Most of the positive feedback about polishing that I've been aware of in the past has been because there was one much-loved man who was doing polishing and people wouldn't want to hurt his feelings...." I don't quite agree with that. Leroy did a fantastic job and I can't imagine it was an easy one. I know he took pride in his work for good reason. I'm not a huge fan of polished marbles but if you had an example that was beat up and wanted to let the beauty shine through (and say you'd been collecting for ~40 years and never seen another one like it), he would be the guy you could trust to get it right. At least in my experience anyway.

For what it's worth, a gray non-textured background is usually what worked best for me (and my clunker of a 5MP Kodak, lol)
