  1. I think it could be a special Alley. One from the Blush line. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/13019-alleys-blue-skies-and-blush-lines/
  2. At nearly an inch, I think that's a Veiligglas wirepull.
  3. Pretty. I would enjoy seeing the unexposed version too.
  4. Messed up Akro cork sounds good on #1. Pelt sounds good on #2. I'm not familiar with a name for it. No clue on #3. That's pretty wild on #4. I think it's "drizzle". I want it to be CAC. From what I can see of the structure, Peltier is my 2nd choice. But that kind of drizzle on either one is unusual.
  5. I'd say good possibility on all. The first I might have thought Vacor but if it came with the rest of those, then I think good chance on all 4.

    More help plz!

    Used to be, that thought would freak me out. I'm chill now.
  7. Hi. Welcome. From left to right: Marble #1 is interesting. Looks like a patch in the first photo and a swirl in the second. Not sure what to make of that. On #2, I started to say West Virginia Swirl, but now I'm also considering Akro Lemonade. Do you have a blacklight? I'm curious to see if it glows brightly under UV light. #3 and #4 are WV Swirls. (There were about 10 companies in West Virginia which made swirls in the 1930's through 1950's, with one continuing on past that.) #5 is also likely a WV Swirl, but the kind known as "Transparent Swirl". I considered the possibility of it being a "Slag" which would have been a little earlier, but I think Swirl. #6 is likely an Akro Moss Agate. The damage is obscuring the pattern, but I think that's what it will turn out to be. I expect that one will also glow brightly under blacklight.
  8. Going strong Alley on top right. Nice pattern.
  9. Looking at the bottom group: That bottom right orange one might be a Peltier Acme Realer. In that same picture I think I see three Vitro Conqerors -- those are on the left side. The 2nd from the right on the top row in that bottom group is a modern Asian marble.
  10. Unusual structure for those colors. The colors look like Vitro Tiger Eyes. The structure looks like a Master or a Japanese "Wales" style marble.
  11. The blues in photo #2 look foreign and modern, not sure if Mexican or Asian. The splotchy ones in photo #3 could be modern handmades from Asia. The colors in picture #4 suggest the possibility of a Vitro cage style cat's eye, but I'm not sure I'm seeing the structure well. The reds and blacks in #5 could be a mix of makers. Likely modern. But depending on the structure could be Marble King or Vacor or Asian or something else. Last pic: Modern foreign on left and right. Curious about the middle one. More views please.
  12. Have you had any exchanges with Ricardo Mendoza on Facebook? He has some wonderful Vacors from 60's and 70's. I don't know what he knows about 20 years ago, but worth asking.
  13. Not from a cane. Not from a punty. Machine-made marble with damage. The white could be furnace brick. That could have weakened the marble and made it more prone to fracture.
  14. But to the left of that seam, it also looks like a fold. So I'm guessing the seam look is just the end of the stream, and maybe it looks wider than usual because the marble is so small. I guess I'd keep it with the WV swirls. And I'm leaning Alley because of glass, color, size.
  15. If I have them, they're on my last computer ... which I haven't hooked up since moving to this "new" house three years ago.
  16. I just received marble #2 in this sequence. I _thought_ I had a peewee version to make the progression more dramatic, but I guess not. Found a non-cat with similar coloring. I guess that's what I was thinking of.
  17. Front left? Looks Pelty to me.

    3 miles!

    I did 3 miles one more time. Did 1.8 miles a couple of times. Am sitting out for the winter. Am tired from work right now but am looking around for safe exercise options where I don't have to worry about falls. Will be back on the road after the thaw.
  19. Thank you for sharing that. I will fix.
  20. The top right one doesn't look MK to me. I suppose MK is possible on the rest. Might consider Vitro on the bottom right. I like that top left one which you highlighted in a solo shot. But does it have any other name besides Rainbow? I don't know.
