I defer to John's gut on this.

Yeah, I'll just play it safe and say "slag" but your sense in hand of it being a "corkscrew" is why some of us are getting a bit of a handgathered feel from it.

Ooops, you do have three Pelt blue and yellows in this batch, but they wouldn't be called Cub Scouts either. Peltier Peerless Patches. AKA PPP's Here's a Peltier Cub Scout. It's from the MarbleAlan site. Sorry, not posed so you can see the seams and the NLR structure.

Ahh ... I'm kinda leaning MK on the "ugh". But at the same time, I would probably put it in the same box as my Vitro All Reds ... just sorta on the edge. How helpful is that? The one with two orange ribbons remains weird. I think it's a PelTroKing.

I agree Akro. I don't think it's common usage to call them Cub Scouts. But I see why someone would. Those colors on a Pelt NLR or Marble King Rainbow would get a Cub Scout designation.

Here's my question from 2008 about the handmade kind: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/7963-please-tell-me-about-submarines-handmade/

*pupils dilated*

Ugh could be Vitro but more views might give something else, say MK, or more views might mean it's one of those that I can never decide what it is! Ergo, ugh.

Vitro Tiger Eye on the right. Maybe Akro on the top. Yeah, that's where I'm leaning. Ugh on the bottom. Hmmm on the left.

One vote for Master.

I need to get to that section of the market.

I agree with slag. I also got a bit of a sense of it maybe being handgathered. The second photo seems like it might be showing a cutline. What does the opposite end look like?

With the black part, even though it's light, and the texture of the white, I'm wondering about a Vacor Wicked Owl here. If I'm on the right track there that would mean the pontil-looking part was some other kind of damage. That would also make it modern. The Wicked Owl style is still for sale at Land of Marbles. http://www.landofmarbles.com/mega510.html

how cool is that

I'll go against the flow a little bit here. I'm not seeing the ribbon structure I expect on Veiligglas, so I'm keeping the door open a crack for an American slag.

Thanks, John, for straightening me out on the name. I knew it had to be one of the good ones.

thank you!

It's very nice to see the swirl motion and the glass quality. I LOVE the transparent red.

Christensen Agate or Peltier? Or handmade?

Does this count as "fancy"? (Just looking at Craig's word for marbles which won't show up in his CAC project. http://marbleconnection.com/topic/22088-cac-slag-colorsize-help/)

It's bias talking now, but I picture the prettier ones as being older. Maybe 60's. That's a shot in the dark for me. I can't swear they're not making any like them now ... I just am not aware of it. Winnie may actually have enough clues to piece together a decent record of their evolution. As to "where", I picture Japan first for the machine-mades ... starting back in the 20's or 30's. Then in the 50's I know that Hong Kong joined in. Then I go to Taiwan. And then China proper.
