I think Jabo.

What to say ... nice thoughts. Bittersweet but glad you have found a haven.

sweet piece. *trying not to think of it looking quite so drippy wet with blood* (lol) fwiw ... M.F.Christensen bought his oxblood formula from Leighton, by the way. And an MFC employee stole the formula from MFC and took it to Akro.

I see Vitro but I'll say "Tri-lite", which would be from the 1930's. About 20 years before the Tiger Eyes. Peltiers usually have some symmetry in their ribbons. If a Rainbo has a red ribbon on one side, it will probably also have a red ribbon on the other side. Not red on one side and blue on the other. Typically. Of course they can get wacky. Here are some Vitro seams. Are they what you expect?

Yes ... they're sharp

Then I'm thinking Pelt or Vitro. Leaning Pelt. But if you do learn it is Marble King, I would love to hear. Expand my MK understanding. I know about Blue Boys ... is that what you might be thinking here? The ones I know about have bluer and less bubbly bases.

Is the bluish streak a peek into a bluish base glass?

Aw, I didn't open this up at first because it was for Ron. But how sweet. And I don't usually call pictures of dead fish sweet.

I hadn't heard of a need to be able to feel them. Here are some pictures I collected to illustrate the classic diaper fold look. The amber marble might not be perfect but at least one side fits the look for me.

In the patch version, most collectors call them Moss Agates whether the translucent white, tan or yellow base. In the swirly or cork version, most collectors call them [edit: the glowing ones] Ades. That's my experience anyway. Way back when, Akro called them all Moss Agate. And they were very proud of that line. Whether in the swirly/corky version or the patch version. Those were some of their most expensive marbles. They prominently featured their Moss Agates in their ads. I think most modern collectors don't realize how proud Akro was of the Moss Agate line and name. I think modern collectors think it's a boring name and so they mostly give it to the patches and come up with more colorful names for the fancier styles.

I have a bitty blue spruce ... hopefully I can find where I have that ... but I need to take my Anacortes pictures before I go looking for anything else.

Interesting how long that seam looks on your last photo. Much wider than the patch.

Nope. Not as close as I had been hoping. Yours is more chocolately than mine. And much more translucent. Mine has just a touch of translucence visible around the edges.

I strongly disagree. This is a myth that just won't go away. It's not just you. The Moss Agate you show is from the 1930's. And Akro corkscrews were introduced in 1930. Possibly in production in 1929, but not in 1922. Ira Freese was gone from Akro before the Moss Agates and corkscrews were made so there are no pre-freese Moss Agates or corkscrews. Some have lashes because the shears were dull. Not because they were made before Ira Freese fixed the mechanism.

perty

Yeah, as a single seam CAC it could be called a diaper fold.

Ah, I thought you had the answer. Want me to tell you what I think it is?

Marble King Rainbow?

*heading out to my Pelt patch box to see if I have a match*

A tray full of fiber optic peewees

Oh ... speaking of Germans .... little lutzes

Yes, Red Angel is very specific. Here's are pictures of three colors of angels which Westcoast Dave posted in the gallery. (If there are more colors, I am unaware.) The custard base is very important. And they have (at least) six ribbons. Four yellow and two of the special color -- in your case red.

I heard them called Bruisers. Not common. Best I can say.
