Here's a thread for the "good" versions of those plainest of all marbles. The essentially solid color marbles. Here's a 5/8" hand-gathered translucent, ultra fluorescent, with fire inside. Possibly a Peltier Canary. Here's a Christensen Agate of the kind sometimes known as a "Pastel". Mine is a single-seamer.

Royals deserve their day.

Hehe ... yes ... I also liked that it was a slow burner .....

Woot woot! We again have a gallery preview on the homepage. This time on the right hand column!

Oh that IS cool. A surprise sparkler. Nice!

Yes! To both! That tree does look VERY Vitro-y.

I'd already forgotten Cairo had an example. Bump for reminder of Cairo and reminder to archive .... keeperthread.

I just did a random google ... would you say the top right rainbo here is close to "vitro lips" or a "vitro v"?

It's different. Probably a real hybrid. As in it's irregularities were accidental. We call Vitro Hybrids that even though their multicolor vanes were made that way on purposel. Yours looks like something which happened when the people were changing between runs. Asian or Mexican. Still leaning Asian.

That reminds me of a sweet Vacor I had with stretchy frit which I so hoped was a guinea. I'm sure the photos are lost to the great Macintosh Hard Drive Crash of 2008.

Yeah, that's pretty special.

Congratulations! Well-loved! I'm always shocked to hear you say your first for any Akro. Are you thinking of trying any repair? That could be a job for the water-soluble polymer.

#TeamTai Nice of them to try to humanize the bully boys so that maybe they won't receive as much hate mail, but no fan mail for them either!

Army of Darkness, with Bruce Campbell .... coz it looked like it was gonna be funny ...... having skipped the first two movies in the franchise because at least the first one was too scary. P.s., what does my Survivor buddy think about this season?

Well, I made a hodge podge of that post. But I'm done editing now. I hope I have all my numbers right.

Hiya #1, 2, 5. Vitro hybrid cat's eyes. When I say "hybrid" I'm referring to having multiple colors. However, they do seem to blur the lines between caged and not. #3. you could be onto something with your German guess. #4. Looking like it could be Japanese. Would prefer a head-on look at the cutlines so I can see the vane orientation more clearly. #6. American-made cat's eye. Could be Marble King. The bubbles make me wonder about some other maker. But in the larger size, it makes me feel like going back to Marble King.

Of course Bob will want to know what kind.

My single seam Bumble Bee

Another good one!
