I've been thinking about this one a lot lately. It's definitely a contender for my favorite one which is actually mine. .

I hoped you might weigh in on this one. I wondered if that was the case. My NZ friend uses a lot of other UK words so I suspected you might share this word also. Our usage is very specialized. https://www.americanstationery.com https://www.papersource.com/stationery/other-stationery-set/all.html

That's gotta be the nicest Sunset I've seen, then. I do have quite a few of them in various sizes ... but they're not very easy to come by. At that size, with that glass combo ... a keeper.

In New Zealand, if it's coming to the end of their summer and a dad says he's buying stationery for his kids ... that doesn't mean he's sending them away and buying pretty paper and envelopes for them to write home with. Over there, at back to school time, "stationery" is a word for school supplies. I was confused for a moment, but then I remembered that in our part of the world "stationer" used to be the name for an office supply store. About a hundred years ago. The Rosenthals (who gave us Rosenthal boxes of marbles and who Berry Pink worked for before starting out on his own) -- they specialized in rubber items, including erasers -- so one could sometimes read about them in stationer trade publications. https://books.google.com/books?id=TmBYAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA20-PA8#v=onepage&q=rosenthal&f=false

The Ravenswood coral is different. It's like we call it a coral because it's the closest thing to coral in the Ravenswood family. Not because it really fits all that well in with the others.

Rub it in!!!

oh my. Well .... maybe ..... a Vacor Sunset? Akro or Vacor are the only things which come to mind for me at that size. But it's not fitting any definite patterns that I recognize for that size. Edit: to me it seems so uncommon that I'm gonna move it to the main chat area to get more eyes on it. It's beautiful.

Of course! Thanks, Bob.

The shiny bananas are Flamas! Those are collectors items.

I would call it a "Blackline All-Red". And a keeper. I don't have a white one.

My first thought was "it was little kids who were playing with them". But would even little kids have used itty shooters?

how fun not to mention astounding pattern

Looks kinda special from here. Just how huge are we talking?

The swirl is simple enough that it looks almost like patches. So I'll say Jabo.

???? I'm leaning Marble King

Yes? Confirmed? This is one which makes common WV swirl ID's tricky!

Hey, Alley guys!

Quick! go shopping some more.

I would think Pelt on the big one. I don't know on the middle .... I guess that could be Kokomo ... based on what it came with. I mighta thought foreign otherwise. I really don't know. Bottom is looking like a lazy Akro cork.

beautiful ... what else is there to say?

Good addition. He sure has that style down.

That group of three is so tight!

More Veiligglas here! http://marbleconnection.com/topic/23375-assorted-marbles-from-europe/ Stéphane posted such a variety of marbles that I thought that glimpse of of a French collection of marbles deserved its own thread.

So much eye candy. I am intrigued by those patches from England. I've broken this stunning display into a new thread because of the great variety. (I'll put a link in the Veiligglas thread.) Well, I accidentally merged two of Stéphane's posts into one -- I didn't know that was possible -- but I think everything still reads about the same as how it was posted. *fingers crossed*
