black + blue + white + brownish + shimmery in places
Steph replied to jennyafrank's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I don't know what it is, but I can bump it for you. -
Two thumbs up. Makes total sense for the vane shape and colors.
-
Do you mean Wedding Cake? My first thought is that it is not a Wedding Cake. Not familiar with Birthday Cake. A couple more views could help with the ID. Plus the size.

Blue Flames Swirl - not sure who made it
Steph replied to Plutonianfire's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Hi. Welcome. What size? I'll go with Alley Agate as the maker for now. -
I agree that it looks Vacor though I don't know the style name. Sometimes in the Vacor Galaxies you could see things like cats eyes under the splattered surface, deep within the dark glass. Was a mystery why they had stuff inside such a dark marble which was covered in splatter.
-
Lovely effect.
-
I don't know. Vitro or Marble King. This pic shows why my thoughts immediately went to MK. Your vane structure isn't yelling vintage MK at me, but that's where I have my marbles with similar colors. And your vane shape is not yelling classic Vitro at me either. So ?
-
Congrats!
-
Sweet Veet!
-
Yes, that's the vintage version. You can tell because of the blue being across from the green.
-
??? The ones that looked like All-Reds but don't have red are Tiger Eyes. Not sure if all the big ones had names. Aren't some from generic "shooter" packaging? (But I am out of the loop on the names collectors have come up with.)
-
Closest style name I'm coming up with is Dragonfly. Maybe an unswirled one?
-
I'm with Pelt Rainbo. And noting that big ones can get weird.
-
Marble King Rainbow Red. 1960 give or take
-
Rainbo? same patch on each side with juxtaposed colors
Steph replied to mccracken's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Peltier. I think a Multicolor Rainbo with underrepresented white. (edit: well there is white inside, in addition to the strands on the surface ) -
pretty! Condition looks good overall too.
-
I'm considering Japanese transitional and Christensen Agate Company. Sheer numbers would point to Japanese, but it would be cool if it turned out to be a CAC American Agate.
-
*squints through blinding light* how about Akro?
-
squeeee ❤️
-
I think foreign. But I don't recognize who could have made it.
-
I'm not seeing any as slags, fwiw. That looks like a distinct and wispy ribbon to me on the top right.
-
It's in our interest to help sellers make responsible marble IDs. I don't consider Chocomibs a lost cause. I can let bygones be bygones. So it is disappointing that he's still pretending he's someone else and not yet resolving to post and sell in good faith in the future.
-
Looks like oxblood to me. So are we looking at Akro, or do we need to consider an Alley oxblood or ?? I've _heard_ of Alley oxbloods, but I'm not sure how to ID them.
-
Gotta be Peltier. I'm going with accidental hybrid, or other acciddent where the color went off somehow since the gray isn't a standard Pelt color.
-
Yeah.
