Congratulations on the new addition!
-
Way cool! I had Mike Barton's word for it that they existed, but still very cool to see white feathering! What a find. Thanks for sharing! Edit: I just saw Roberto's post and got sent down a road and tunnel. Still ... I believe!
-
Amen! So many good friends. It's definitely the people who have kept me going.
-
I'd say newer MK is a very strong candidate.
-
I'm going to toss in Champion on the middle mainly for the reason that I can't think of anything else it could be. With those colors and that activity, it is a very interesting marble.
-
Woot woot! Alley Spruce!
-
That's different. Looks like Vitro and Asian in the same marble.
-
Did you say large? I'm thinking about Jabo on top. WV on bottom. All Alleys?
-
I don't recognize it. The seam looks a bit elongated for a Master, but that's my first guess.
-
Vitro Superior. A member of the Tri-Lite family from the 1930's.
-
Christensen Agate on the blue and red. Possibly also on the one beside it. For sure flame on the blue and red. I think Alley on the yellow and white. Four tips might be enough to get that called a flame.
-
I think maybe Vacor on top. Not sure at all on the middle. The bottom are intriguing. I'm aware of a Peltier Woody, but not aware of a Marble King Woody. I am considering Marble King, but also am considering a modern-ish Vitro. Seems like maybe too many stripes for a Peltier.

Is that blue in the upper right corner if the picture part of the marble? Having trouble thinking of anything with that blue and that green.
-
No ruler showing, but trust me ... these are little
-
I'm getting an Akro vibe there. Is it a "lazy corkscrew"? (not quite a full turn?)
-
I should be able to tell at a glance. I'm looking at a pic of some of mine and trying to see if I see a match ... and I'm not quite there. They look sort of like my bottom left. Might just be a difference in lighting making me unable to lock in the match. Will wait to hear what others say. Mine:

(not seeing Akro or CAC)
-
If vintage, then I'd go with some West Virginia swirl manufacturer on these.
-
This could be Marble King. Could be Vitro. Could be some other company which usually does patches (which could include Akro but that's low on my list)
-
Very rarely is it possible to i.d. them with any confidence. In the past I have found it amusing to try to detect whether they were made on a swirl machine or a patch machine but most probably wouldn't believe or care if someone said they could sort them by manufacturer or decade. I have a special fondness for them but they're commons.

Good question, Bruce!
-
Six! I'm impressed. I too lack lady taters. But am blessed to have my tater bug family.

I've heard of someone who calls himself Dr. Marbles on facebook. Did video sessions. But I never became acquainted with him. The bubble is a nice little surprise inside, but I don't think it means anything for the ID. I agree with Alley flame.
