  1. With that underlighting, "sunset" is an even more appropriate name. Nice effect.
  2. Nooooo ... the mib on the stand is from Lloyd's box. This was the beauty in question. It's on the small side, less than 5/8", and I have been informed that Honey Onxyes are usually larger. I had been unaware of that. I was 99% sure it wasn't a Honey Onyx, but I couldn't resist asking about it. Isn't it pretty!
  3. How large is the 2nd one? Not Vacor on 2nd one! My first thought was Master on the colors but the structure is more like a Sparkler. But the colors don't seem Akro. Could it be a European sparkler? For that matter, how large is the first one? Sometimes a larger marble will get that "orange peel" texture even if it is American made. What does it look like under a blacklight?
  4. Hi. Welcome. There are some Florida collectors. You might be able to find someone to help you out in person. But we'll do what we can long distance.

    Moonies?

    Richard, I keep getting this niggling thought that they might be Jabo. There are some U-shapes there ... and it would go with LTrain's other Jabos. But I don't know if Jabo did white in clear.

    New goose head

    I need to redo my tutorial on seams/cutlines. It was accidentally deleted. Now that I have a decent camera, I can take pics of seams myself. The cutlines are important for marble identification. In your last picture, the probable cutlines start at about about 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock. Then they're pointing back into the photo. At this point, I think it will probably be a Jabo or a late Vitro.
  7. I think your blue 3 vane is a wonky Pelt banana. Your Vitros are very photogenic.

    Nice goose

    Fun. Might need more angles for an ID.
  9. Would go in my "transparent swirl" jar. (Wouldn't try to narrow it down more.)

    I guess I'd let it ride around with my Vitros for awhile to see if it felt like it belonged.

    Slag ID

    Thanks, Al. (I'm really shaken on my slag identifying ability. )
  12. Someone'll surely be by soon to straighten me out ....... *hint hint hint*
  13. Here is a box of Honey Onyx which Lloyd sold. How widely did Honey Onyx differ? Tonight I saw a translucent based marble which I really wanted to turn out to be a found-in-the-wild Honey Onyx, but I didn't want to give the owner too much hope about it being one of that elusive type.
  14. A couple of those on the left do look intriguingly small.
  15. The U-shape of the curve says Jabo might be a possibility here. I just don't recognize the colors right off. Someone else such as @Nantucketdink might.
  16. Jabo Classics. From between 1991 and 2007.
  17. There are these .... http://marbleconnection.com/topic/7087-marbles-from-south-america/

    That's beautiful. Not helping me ID it. But it's beautiful. Is this a white patch on one side and a blue on the other? Or all blue? I could be making this too difficult. Could be a Vitro Conqueror.

    Jabo?

    Jabo makes sense. Unusual interior though. Very attractive.
  20. To me this looks like a more modern marble than what we call eggyolk and oxblood. (I'm not sure you have oxblood -- but I can't swear you don't.) Here's an example of an eggyolk and oxblood -- pretty sure Akro in this shot: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/23022-oxbloods-show-me-some-please/?do=findComment&comment=207033 And here's an even older style -- from Germany: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/23022-oxbloods-show-me-some-please/?do=findComment&comment=207084

    Moonies?

    Hi. Welcome. Those look like somewhat later swirls. Champion is a possibility.
