Steph, on yours, is it a cold roll that makes the "9" pattern show up under the UV pic?

They're connected.  They coincide for part, so that I'm not sure how much of the brighter glow of the 9 comes from a pinching of the glass and how much comes from something swirly below the surface.

I was thinking of the bit right at the bottom, not on the other side.

 

More or sharper views might help. 

I see Vitro possibilities.

The white glass on the right could be non-American.  I want to pick that last view up and turn it around so I can see what's at the bottom of that marble.

Anyone have any dug handgathereds?  Or maybe Lucky Boy boxes with handgathereds?  Were the Lucky Boys all Pelt?  Were they from the handgathered time or only the feathered time?

I have a single vintage four-color.  I have several modern four-colors.  Your new mibs are the vintage version.

It has a nine which I noticed when looking at it under blacklight.   

It stayed a mystery to me for a long time but gradually I got more comfortable thinking of it as a Pelt since I saw it in a Gropper box labeled "Opal Agates".   (Gropper distributed Peltiers.)  Eventually I learned that Canary was an early Pelt name and this is the best candidate for that marble.   And apparently they're described in American Machine-Made Marbles, and I keep forgetting that!

I posted this Canary in the thread of fluorescent marbles, but then it occurred to me how really special it is for another reason. 

I had a hunch that the majority of marble collectors don't know Peltier made handgathered marbles.  And then ... even knowing that Pelt did ... it's very seldom that one runs across a handgathered marble and can be reasonably confident it was a Pelt.

So ... anyone else come across any handgathered Pelts?  In their own collections or saved pictures?


 

pretty ... and unusual

Doing more unpacking and disposal of things which were left undone since our move three years ago.  

Found some puzzles I had worked on and then stored in the old attic about 15 years ago.  Was making progress  until ..... 



 

I had a several Cloudys and got rid of them before I realized what they were.  Hang onto that.  They're an underrecognized early Master. 

P.s., this top view is very clear and helpful.  Going to give a solid Master on this one.
 

  What a thread is?  

This "topic" that you've started is a thread.   A thread of conversation is one way to think of it.

At the bottom of the posting window it gives you the option to "choose files" for inclusion in the topic.  That's where you can upload your pictures.  

Yeah, some pretty marbles.  These intrigue me.  I suspect the darker one at least may be a Master Cloudy.  Is the lighter one glass?  (Wondering if a see a hand-facet on it.)  Edit: Oh, I see you did describe the smaller one as glass in the next post. Hmmmm.

pretty!

I could learn to like Alleys.

Well, this is one which IS old.  It's handgathered.  It took me looking at it under blacklight before I  recognized the 9.  It was thought to be a Peltier Canary.  

Just off the top of your head 

What are your favorite marble misnomers?

Was thinking today about how for quite some time I thought wirepulls were actually formed by dragging a wire around through the molten glass.  

Post your glowers!

Here are some modern Marble Kings I decided to light up this afternoon for no particular reason.  

This one I'm having trouble pinning down.  Possibly another Vitro.  Second choice Master.   I'm not getting a handle on the seam structure yet.
