  1. I'll go with sweet Peltier. If you hold it up to a light, does the white turn into a watery-looking orange? If so, then Acme Realer.
  2. Standard size? I'll stick with WV swirl. The colors are distinctive enough that someone else might be able to hone in on the actual company.
  3. I also considered Japanese on the left, but with the crisp opaque glass it's not the typical Japanese transitional. I think it might e the kind most often found in Canada. That doesn't mean it's not Japanese but I think there's still some mystery around the ones associated with Canada.
  4. That might be a Navarre, Barberton or some other Leighton product on the right.
  5. Hi. Welcome. I don't know what to say other than stone marble. These marbles are supposedly actually marble: I don't know how mine might relate to "alabaster". But that's one of the white stone names I have heard of being used to make marbles. Another is limestone. I don't know enough to make a guess as to what exact stone yours might be. But that range: 12th to 18th century all sounds reasonable for these non-glass marbles. 19th century also. Maybe early 20th.
  6. Let me say, I'm sure they are not MFC. And I'm pretty sure not Japanese transitional, because those pontils seem to make them seem fully handmade. But I'm not familiar enough with handmade marbles. For you I hope they're Leightons, but I don't know enough to rule out them being remelts or some other contemporary marble.
  7. I think much more interesting than Japanese transitionals. I don't see MFC. With those pontils, I think 1800's. Maybe from one of Leighton's companies. But this type of marble is outside my comfort zone so do wait for others to weigh in.
  8. I don't see a barcode. You'll surely find one. I'll put you on my list in case I decide I don't need mine.
  9. What feature are you referring to? I'm not sure how you managed to duplicate the glitch, Jason. Who is adding the img and /img tags to your address? Are those tags connected with the malfunction?
  10. I knew I should have opened this post sooner. I had planned to. But *brain numb* The pix:
  11. I don't see a price. I have a copyright date of 2014. The pictures are nice -- large and detailed. If I studied it more, it could help get me past my mental block on style names of antique handmades.
  12. Maybe it will be easy for an experienced slag collector. Maybe the shade on the red will be a giveaway to someone not named Steph.
  13. Easy guess? Not for me. I see why the contrast with the smaller marble would make one think "not-CAC". And you could be right. The shade is different and the kinda sorta road and tunnel on the bigger one could just be a coincidence. But the swirling is not quite "indistinct" enough for me to feel confident making a guess.
  14. It's a pretty good starting place for building a wishlist.

    Master?

    I see why you think Master. The glass texture is pointing me toward the possibility of it being a non-American marble. Possibly Asian. Possibly European. It's a keeper either way. Not common.
  16. Hi. No MFC's. I can confidently say that. They had a very limited variety of glass color combinations so that makes it easy to rule out. Other than that, I'm not sure. Just wanted to drop in and say hi.
  17. I got my first Akroware this past year. It's all normal size stuff. I was surprised by how large actually. Had been expecting small all along. Would still like some little items, but need to make more room on the shelves first.
  18. Chad, Facebook does have a translation option. Maybe you need to be logged in to see it? I noticed yesterday that things were in English which I had wanted to see in Spanish, so I had to look for the "show original" option in order to get back to the Spanish words. So I go back in forth between the two, all by clicking the show original or show translation links.
  19. A Spanish-language oriented marble group on facebook. I'm intrigued by the possibilities of what I could learn there. Maybe you would be too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1846511308826931
