I'll move up a quite a bit in rarity -- here are some of my Alley Tater Bugs.

Buzz buzz .... I was going to start simpler than this but somehow I misplaced my jar of clearies. So I'll start with my all-time favorite style from childhood. (But the gift of these came last year.) Hey ... my camera turns yellow green .... so ??

❤️ sweet I had a cat who liked to play with marbles. Gone to the rainbow bridge many years ago. I wish I had let him play with more.

Do you garden? I have a small backyard, with small garden plots trying not to take up the whole space. And cucumber vines are pretty, so for the past two years I've had cucumbers in the front planter. Not going to do that again -- because the planter is from 1951 and I'm worried about the damage I'm doing with water and dirt -- but enjoying it now. I was getting one or two small-to-medium cucumbers a day ... very manageable ... and then poof! Overnight I got four gigantic ones ... and two more medium ones. Getting out of hand. Delicious though. Delicious though.

With such beautiful seams, this might be offbase, but the colors look Vacor to me.

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

No! Fish are good! Or so I hear. LOL. I don't personally fish, but I know a lot of fishermen. The lounge is for exactly this.

Wow. I had not heard. Sorry for your loss.

Welcome! We like Peltier and Alley and assorted goodies!

^^ what he said

I'm 100% on the side of Peltier. The same chemical reaction which MFC and Akro used on purpose to create oxblood could create oxblood by accident in other makers when the right chemical colorants were present.

(I had labeled 1st batch cateyes when I got started with marbles- seems so long ago-10 mons.& pre-pandemic, the good ol'days)

Yes, leaning modern Asian on the gold. On the purple and blue, I'm not sure. Not sure about modern or vintage, not sure about American or foreign.

Top right is vintage MK Bumblebee. Bottom is modern MK Rainbow. Middle right might be MK. Leaning Vitro on Middle Left. Top left ??? Maybe Vacor? ???

Leaning Master at 9 o'clock, 11 and 1. Leaning Vitro at 6 and wondering about Peltier at 3.

Wow! Plenty to stay busy with.

Master.

I think Christensen Agate on the green and yellow swirl in the first photos. And is that a big Peltier Sunset in the first photo? If so, then wow.

Going with Vitro Tri-Lite

Peltier Peerless Patch

Matte finish is not uncommon on modern marbles. On vintage marbles it usually means time spent in water.

Beauties.

I think Peltier Rainbo on the green and yellow. I like the Marble King Cub Scout.
