Someone posted a picture of a marble with a screw in it.   I coveted it. 

Hi.  Nah.  Furnace brick and other debris is interesting.  But it rarely adds value.  

If it was something really different like a screw, it might be a different story. 

????

If vintage, I'm wondering about Peltier.

Aaaaarrrgghh.  The lighting!   

Is the green only green?  It looks fairly solid on my monitor.  If so, it would not be a hybrid.  

The red appears to have white edging, so that's considered a hybrid. 

Reminder:  the Vitro hybrids were presumably intentional, which is different from how the word is usually used.  

(Yes, definitely ready for some cats!  )

Don't ever change!

My first guess is Akro.  2nd is an older Vitro.  

That would be getting yourself in a little deep.

That would be very sweet.  A spot of sunshine in her year.  

Sad is the word.    

Poor lady.  

Vitro is a good possibility.  Not a standard All-Red pattern.  So maybe someone made a mistake.   Though sometimes surprising things do show up in officially marked bags.

Yes, a fried marble   

Gladding-Vitro was the Vitro company name from 1969 through 1982.

I don't recognize that as an All-Red, or even as  a Vitro from that era.  Was the bag sealed when you found it?

My birthday marbles  

DAS Equinox, 9/25/18

A mist of lutz on the 2nd from the right, middle row.

The texture + structure looks modern Asian to me.  

Gotta be one of the prettiest I've seen.

 .... I guess sometimes the color funnel went one way and sometimes another without them telling it to .... just a guess  

.... sometimes it spun quickly and you got a lot of twists on the marbles and sometimes it hardly spun at all and you'd get a lazy cork or even a patch.  

It means you have a surprising number of corks which just go the other way. 

Someone with access to a lot of corks (I think it was Dani) said they found about a 50-50 split between the clockwise and counterclockwise corks. 

(Keep it in your Akro pile.)

Hey, peltheads, check out his color.  

Yeah, I think so.  With those two loops, it's looks like the baseball-stitching style of NLR.

What colors are you seeing in hand?

that's different   ....  

Just looked it up.  I see I was in high school when it came out.  I should have known about that one.  But I did not. 

Looks vintage from here.  

Someone posted this on facebook ... Sistersville Marble Festival in the news.  Some years it's on my birthday.  I need to go.

Oh no, not Red Devil!

That's wild.  In more ways than one.  

Gonna say no. 

I think WV swirl, not Akro. 

Just found this one in a wooden box ... that maybe I got from one of my husband's friends?  The glass feels Rainbo  even if the pattern might make me want to say NLR.   The yellow seems a little unusual -- a dark gold maybe with a little olive tint.  Darker than in the picture.

 I need to pull out some more yellows ... at least the Mandarin Bee ... maybe I'll find it's perfectly normal.  But I couldn't wait to get a picture.
