My vote is a resounding yes.  

What kind do you want?  

Does this link work for you?

I'm guessing they at least were conscious enough of it that they would have decided that a busy swirl would be more interesting to the kids than a single little loop.

Definitely looks like there's a message hidden in that second view.  I can almost read it.  

At least one MK stuck up there.  But yup .... Vitros weathered the Japanese Cat's Eye invasion of the 50's and held their own in the market. Yay for Vitros.  

Prayers for Leroy and his family and his doctors 

And fires in the northwest.   

Seriously. 

Gotta be a fluke.  Or maybe they're planning a special edition?

  yes, both Akros.  

It's rare to have black which doesn't seem to have some other tint on closer inspection.  What I'm curious about is if the black might have a layer of oxblood on top of part of it, but I don't know how to have you check for it.  

Modern Asian marble on the bottom.  

On the top ??

that's amazing on so many levels.

It looks like some exotic plant.

Those Leightons are how I first fell in love with eggyolk and oxblood.

I'm seeing some older marbles in the mix also.   First picture, bottom right is a WV swirl.  

2nd picture, bottom left, could be a WV swirl. 

First picture ... bottom row ... 2nd from right ... more views?

Hey, watch those cinders!

What they said.  Nice Master Sunburst.

It's cold here.  Feels like October.  I love the cold in fall and winter but I don't want it yet.  I'm still nurturing my summer garden.  But I'm  counting my blessings.  

I hadn't been watching the news enough.  I just found out that my friend in Baton Rouge has had 30 days of rain, and the Harvey rains on top of that are more than they can take . 

I only noticed that Harvey had headed to "West Louisiana"  and so I thought she was in the clear.  Didn't know how bad it was already.  

yeah .... not so good!  

Interesting that it's heavy, and maybe silvery inside, and yet not magnetic.

I don't know the material.  Still guessing decorative.  

Two different kinds of steelies were marketed for sale as toy marbles  -- one hollow and one the basic solid ball bearing.  

Not aware of other metal balls being marketed as toy marbles.  

I'll guess it was made for a decoration.  I'm not familiar with play marbles made out of that material.  

The second picture makes it look like the brass coloring might be a coating.  

Is it heavy?

This thread reminds me why I love marbles.  

*sigh*

The dark edge could be a chemical reaction between the red and the blue.  

Peltier Peerless Patch

A desirable marble, from around 1930   

That's luscious. 

Yes, the green flakes shimmer. They might be mica. (Or they might be  some other thing which was _called_ mica -- I never got that straight.) 

Ha!  Even your ugly marbles are pretty!
