I don't know how I missed this.  It seemed I was seeing her around, but apparently not. 

At the beginning of December we lost Winnie Goddijn, our friend from Amsterdam.    

She was in her 80's at least, maybe 90, but what a lively spirited person, and what a great help to many in marbledom.
 

I'm not sure where the marbles are right now to check for eyelashes.  

I really gotta get my marbles better organized.

looking good for it to me

Also, Alox jobbered cat's eyes so it wouldn't be surprising for a cat to get mixed in with the swirls.

At that size, in sunlight shades, I have to consider Vacor Sunset. 

But I don't want me saying "Vacor" to take the shine off the "wow".  Because (a) I'm far from certain and (b) wow! 



These are my Vacor Sunsets ... 

tasty

WV Swirl -- I don't know whose

MK on top center.  I think MK on top right also.  Possibly on bottom right.

Then "transparent swirls" on the other two and that's as far as I go.

Thanks.  Was confused by the "these" in the subject line.

It has the coloring of a Vitro Superior.  

The orange ribbons are in the pattern of a Peltier.  And the yellow is not out-of-line with a Peltier.  So I am staying with Peltier.

How many marbles are we looking at?  

My first thought was Vitro but then the pattern started to seem more Peltier.  I am currently leaning Peltier. 

And estimating 1930's either way.

There still might be a way to view your library and save the images to your desktop.  Worked for me a couple weeks ago, which was really nice,  since PB usually freezes up my whole system

I went ahead and signed up on the $4.99 a month plan.  That stops them from freezing up the computer.  The pictures I'm trying to replace in the threads now are ones I downloaded to my computer and then deleted from Photobucket as I tried to get the image number down into something which wouldn't give me warning messages about having too many images. 

So, I have the pix on my computer and am uploading them to imgur, and then to here.  Of course since the Akro pix were the most important to me, those are the ones I made inaccessible with this not-well-thought-out plan.

But ... I'm working on it!  

  

Need to put that on my list ... that is to say, on my husband's list for when he goes out DVD hunting

Hi. Welcome.  Pick a few marbles out and post some photos of them.  

A few marbles per thread works best.   

A new thread for each new small group of marbles. 

I resolve to restore at least one photo per day to the archival threads which got broken because the photos were at Photobucket.  That would be at least 366 photos for the year.  That would be a good hunk of pix.  

I'm not seeing enough regularity to guess anything other than Akro. 

Look who it is!   *wave*

Mike, aka Migbar,  had been feeling poorly for a few months and has passed away.  Someone said it was on Christmas.   

A sweet generous friend with a sometimes biting wit.  A keeper of Pelt history.  A stained glass artist, and marble maker.  This is a blow.

Thanks for posting that.  I saw Pete's announcement on Facebook and should have thought to post something.   Very sad. 

that's hot

It might have a different collector's name, but probably to Akro is was a part of their proud Moss Agate line. 

What does the top far right look like under blacklight?

It might "just" be a fancy moss agate. 

Merry Christmas!  I do hope everyone has a blessed day tomorrow.  

These marbles?  One was on my wishlist for 2020. One was on my wishlist for "sometime".  One I never even thought about fantasizing about having. One I don't remember ever seeing before and I'll need to spend some more time trying to do it photographic justice.   I've spent this whole month in a state of amazement.  I am still stunned and misty-eyed.
