that one is frothy ... nice

Well, that's another "awwwwwww". That's a cute one too.

Hello there! Welcome. That's a wild effect in your marble. I take it that's a double ingot?

awwwwwwww .... that's totes adorbs

The only marbles I know of in regular production at that size are Vacors. I simply cannot think of anything else.

I don't mind. I like revisiting mysterious marbles. 1.83 inches. I wasn't sure what we said about it before, but when I did the size conversion, I became fairly sure what we would have said. At that size I can only think of one option. I could hope it was some super rare dug Akro, but that is huge, so it leaves me with only one practical choice. ( @Alan, it's not some super rare dug Akro, is it? )

I presume it was an intentional play on "MIB". But I don't remember anyone confirming that. I love it if it's an elaborately-produced yet obscure pun which hardly anyone in the world was expected to get. Well, I love it anyway, but I want to know what the writers were thinking.

I think I see a little bit of a structural clue at the cutline in the marble in the top left corner. But if they hadn't been mixed in with modern foreign marbles, I might not have guessed.

The rest of the marbles in the photo are foreign. So I am inclined to think the black and white ones are also. Possibly in the Vacor Old Fashion family. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=99

Can you think of any good ones? I like the alien at the end of Men In Black playing marbles with the Milky Way and other galaxies.

Funny you should mention that one, Joe. A couple of years later, I got to really wanting one of those, and forgot I already had one .

Thanks for sharing. What's next on the list?

found these on my porch one morning.

Next: honey-colored

Okay ... found an old photo where I was comparing white bases. Pinterest turned it around on me ... but there is on the left now, my whitest white.

That calls for a Chrissie .....

Oh gee ... I thought that view would convince Sean I was right!

What do you say, Sean?

Oh, I don't think so. Still haven't seen the whole seams though. That could help nail things down.

I think you've got yourself a Vacor Sunset. Possibly my favorite Vacor. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=123&lang=en

Then I'll stick with WV swirl on the left. With a strong vote for Alley.

I'm not at all sure On the red, I"m with Dindo on West Virginia swirl. Probably. If it is a WV swirl, then I think the particular company is Alley. Something about the ribbon ends is making me wonder if it might be something else. On the green, could that be an Akro corkscrew?

Could it be a Peltier Rainbo?
