What a sweet remembrance. Yes, I think of him often. I can't bring myself to get rid of a marble mailer he sent. I use it to store marbles in. He's still my "facebook friend". And thank you for thinking of the site.

that's different

I just hope the winners are happy. Looks like two bidders dominating the four auctions, duking it out. But one of the winners has low feedback, so I guess it could have been a shill who was trying to get that other guy to go higher.

Hi, David. Welcome. Do you see the paperclip attachment option at the lower left of the reply window? You can add pictures there, as long as they're small enough kilobytes. I think around 425 kb. Might be a little higher. Or you can choose another host such as pinterest and post the picture address and the software usually automatically turns it into a picture. You can also post in our gallery, and get the address from there to post in your threads.

Sounds like a fantastic guy. Another wonderful project you picked.

I'll go with Alley. As That1 notes, we expect the white to be more solid with CAC.

Thanks. Yes, it does make 'em look flat ... trade off to see what's inside. Gosh, I do so like these.

If it's vintage, then it's Alley. 1940's.

That's neat. My two guesses are Peltier and Master.

We have seams! We have some interesting color coming through. I hadn't caught the two-toned look before in the purple. Need more size in general, but I can tell you it wouldn't help me. I think I "see" you marble pretty clearly with the combination of all the views and basically I do not know what it is. I can't remember ever seeing another one sufficiently similar to it.

wowzer Someone is on a roll. Those WERE some pretty marbles though ... hope whoever got them wasn't hoping for vintage.

That's a pretty little thing

They sneak up on you. Before you know it, you're hooked. Nice get.

The first Joker run set a high bar for all who followed.

Seems a good chance on top right and bottom left, but I never try to narrow down a transparent swirl.

eyepop!

Started an underwater thread not too long ago, but That1's picture is missing coz of the photobucket screwup --- and so it depresses me. So here's a new thread. These are the marbles I pass by in my office on the way to my computer. They make me happy ... and underwater is the only way I know to share with you anything close to how they appear in person.

Probably a compromise on the distance might help, also. Closer than the three marble picture, but still a few inches away. (Assuming you haven't tried that yet.)

Some nice golden looking chunks in that brown one, Dave. (All lookers, as usual.)

Nice effect in the sunlight. Got some lovely smoky tendril action. (p.s., I think it's an Akro, if you're curious.)

Rainbos will tend to have at least one pair of ribbons ending in the middle area of the seam. You have that color peeking out at the side. Not standard with anyone, but seems far from the norm with Pelt.
