I'm sorry you saw her poisonous post. We fixed the problem as fast as we could. I hoped you managed to miss it altogether.

Interesting! Hanvntlostem, Ron (wvrons) is the king of marble ID's. I had hoped he would weigh in. At this point I had been sitting on the fence between Akro and Marble King, in spite of my early Vitro thought. When in doubt go with whatever Ron says. One last note: We never asked the size. That is often helpful for an ID.

Actually that is an interesting thought, which would put the marble a couple of decades later. Nice marble. Too many choices.

I too am leaning toward Vitro Tri-Lite. Estimate 1930's on the date whether it turns out to be Vitro or something else such as Akro.

Awwwww ... thank you

I really really really wish I could find my marble that had a cursive S. The marble is probably gone forever but a picture of it probably still exists ......

I'm leaning Master.

Pelt to me. Looks related to the Tootsie Roll.

Multicolor Rainbo

Loved 'em to pieces. But imagine lying down on the couch to watch TV with those two both on your chest. My old body is looking forward to being the lifetime perch of lighter weight sweethearts.

When they were a little younger.

Here's a pic of my last two "kittens" ... back in 2004 or so ... when they were four-years-old.

My kiddos will turn 11 weeks old tonight. Have had them for a month. I'm making myself get a little practice with the video on my cellphone before they get too big. Big is relative here. I think they'll stay small as far as cats go. Punkin was only 1.5 pounds at the 10 week weigh-in. Bear was 2.5, so she's still in normal range, but their parents are pretty small. I'm used to some gigantic cats. I'm looking forward to cats that will stay small enough to share lap room. If you watch on fullscreen you can see some pretty good detail on Punkin's forelegs. Edit: oh yes, I forgot the video shows up pretty big already in Marble Connection's format.

Love it! And a happy and safe Fourth to you.

I expect it's part of a regular clearie run. I think the oxblood is accidental, associated with the blue coloring. The path the oxblood ribbon traces could help illuminate the structure of the marble, and thus could give a clue about who made it, but that would just guessing the maker for fun. Nothing definitive about maker. Edit to add: but not Christensen. Probably someone who was making marbles in the 40's or later.

What a lovely tribute. Thank you for sharing.

After an unfortunate detour which resulted in this thread needing to be closed, the problem has been fixed, the thread is cleaned up and reopened. Thanks for everyone who was on top of this.

I am also hopeful that this will turn out to be a brick.

Talented!

NICE Veiligglas

Those shades are very dark for Alley. I'm leaning toward Vacor Volcano. DETAILED INFORMATION (billes-en-tete.com)

Could be. Some Veiligglas comes with interesting little textured bits though ... might have been something that was put in the glass more intentionally.

Not seeing an Akro cork here. At first glance the glass looks Peltier. But I don't recognize what Peltier style it could be either.

Hugs all around.
