No. I was just searching for a properly admiring word.

Supernova!

You look content. ( : -
Gorgeous. Don't remember ever associating that base with MK, but the exterior is so MK that this is my first choice also.
-
I am actually confident that C is Alley. It is a sentimental favorite. *crossing fingers @cheese doesn't say I'm wrong*
-
Alley for C. Then figure Master for B and maybe Pelt for A. (Not seeing the exact views I would want in order to be more sure on A.)
-
Good job capturing the shimmer.

Well done. You've come a long way in a relatively short time. Such dedication.

Whoa, Rick. Another cool thread I missed. I really should have subscribed to this subforum earlier so I would get notices. Was these projects you were working on? What's in the last picture?
-
How did I miss this. I am now "following" this subforum so I won't miss such a thing again. Fun fun fun. I want to play snakes in the grass.

That middle one looked Akro to me also, but Art not thinking it was one of his made me doubt! Would you say 1930's for the two Vitros?

Remember when people talked about Earth being a big blue marble? Apparently the big blue marble has a giant steelie in the middle. Trippy. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/05/science/earth-inner-core-rotation-slowdown-cycle-scn/index.html

Welcome. Akros and Jabos. A nice range.
-
Hmmm. Art, I'm leaning older on these. At least I'm feeling pretty sure the blue/green/white one is older.

Alley stopped making marbles in the 1940's. Champion kept making marbles into the modern era. My belief is that it was easier for errors to get past quality control in the modern era. Fewer kids playing marbles. Less important to get them all round.

Marbles and Time Travel: The Real Story.

Fair to call this a Peltier Bumble Bee (peewee)?
Steph replied to rockgardenplants's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I am not seeing Peltier. The colors aren't looking right for Pelt to me. And the texture of the white doesn't look right for Pelt either. -
Swirls aren't generally thought of as having seams. All swirls technically have two cutlines, but often the cutlines are hidden inside the swirl, so it's not a thing that's considered often for that type of marble. I'd say good chance Alley. Also, what does it look like backlit?
-
Cool. That black and white one is pretty sweet too.
-
A. I would have been torn between Champion and Alley. B. Good question! Would quality control have let that through? I don't know the answer. But quality control was pretty good back then. I know it's just a toy, but it's a toy that the kids needed to think was good for their marble games. So hmmm?

Happy birthday, you firecracker.

Peltier Honey Bee? Opaque. No aventurine. 5/8"
Steph replied to rockgardenplants's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Resolved? How so? That is the original marble in this thread. The question is whether the auction title is correct.
