My Pennsboro Blues ... some opaque, some more filamented. I also tried to capture some of the texture. Your pic came through better than mine ... naturally. But to my eye they seem practically like twins.

Oooh, I see some transparent swirls that I didn't remember in that box. Sorry, got distracted for a moment. Yes, I'm totally seeing Pennsboro Alley.

That would fit nicely in my Pennsboro Alley box.

Kelp!

Before we learned about Veiligglas, this thread would have had a lot more more marbles in it!

Part of me wonders if it could be a conglomeration of dyed minerals ground into a sphere. Part of me laughs at me for thinking that.

It's interesting. I do not recognize it as an antique type. I don't know all there is about antiques, but I'll _guess_ that this is a modern marble.

Big John says to tell everyone hi. *waves*

Sounds good

Would like slightly larger pix if possible Am I seeing a seam in pic #3 for the first marble? Sorry, the pic is small and dim and I can't make it out. I'm leaning toward Master if it has the small cutlines that I think I see a hint of. For the second marble, it looks like the first three pics are mostly the same view. Is that a small cutline on those? I'm leaning Akro Slag on it, but more views could change my mind. If slag, then it's official name would be "Onyx" or I suppose it could be "Striped Onyx" but I don't recall exactly when that name was used.

Leaning Akro

Aw gee, I don't know. Both patch edges are fairly even. Peltier _can_ have even edges, in spite of the stereotype of them having wild patches. Still ... I'm kinda leaning Akro here, in spite of the patch being so skinny. I don't know!

Hi Burt. Thanks for adding some more sizzle to the summer!

LOVE! LOL @ the missing dolls. My baby brother had an anatomically correct boy doll when he was a tot in the mid 70's.

I bet that back in the day the kids would have called this one a snotty.

The grainy photo makes me hesitant, but I say good chance it's oxblood. Processing the cues as well as I can, I seem to see the needed opacity, and the movement is good for oxblood. So, yes, I think so, with the standard disclaimer that other views could change my mind.

Yes. Keeping the tradition alive. And those kids are GOOOOD. It's no longer nationwide. Seems they're not interested in expanding it at all -- as in there might be a rule against expanding it beyond the communities who currently take part. So that's weird if true. But yes, still going after 90 years.

*eek* Gorgeous! and *eek*

Fun idea Bumblebees!

Ah, thanks for the _new_ reminder about what Nancy said. I seem to have a blind spot to that fact.

It looks a little greenish on my screen. Is that just a trick the camera played? I wanna say yes! But I still feel shy about the name even with the encouragement I got for mine. Mike! We need you! What's it look like under blacklight? My yellow one is blazingly bright. Brighter than my Akro Lemonades.

While I'm in the neighborhood ... thought I already posted these here. Oh yes, I posted them in the "post a marble with a name" thread. Black widows on the right, Robin and Blue Boys on the left. Copperheads are the ones which won me over in the bottom picture. But does the red and white and yellow one next to the Black Widows have a name?
