With that tinted base, I don't know. At least a "cat eye" I think. (A "banana" is considered to be in the "cat eye" family.) My brain feels kinda full right now. I'm not sure if it would be called a banana or not. I'll wait to hear what others think.

Yes, that is a fun one.

Gonna say yes. Is the base glass tinted or is that light golden color a reflection from the banana?

Those were Peltier Bloodies. Here are Mibstified's Christensen Agate Bloodies. The Peltier Bloodies are much easier to procure, at least if you want individuals and not the box.

Bloody Mary: And Bloodies:

My second Bloody Mary. (The one at this link might be my first Bloody Mary -- think I may have bought this one -- I should pull it out to see if it's a match. )

I think that probably qualifies. A Bloody Mary has been said to be part of the Tracer family. A sloppy Red Tracer.

Reading up again on Veiligglas, noticed this last post ... pretty marble in there ... did we see the whole bag?

Much eye appeal, BJ. That1, that top middle one looks aquatic. A sea anemone ....

Nice! Thanks again!

What a truly sweet story.

Thanks, Chuck! And Dave and Sami, too, of course , but thanks to Chuck for the long list of names.

Yup ..... You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friends' Boogards.

Now this one .... ???? .... Will Bogard turn out to be the company which made the sort of soft textured aventurine bananas? .... or will those stay in the Peltier box?

Really really really like:

Yikes! I already was shy of selling internationally. But yikes!

Had occasion to pull this fun pair up today so I'll post 'em here -- it's a cork and a patch from the same old box -- one Marblealan was selling.

Finally! I thought I'd never figure that one out. Thank you much. Your Bogard multicolors are waaaay prettier. But I'll always like this single-seamer.

Faskinating .... as Popeye would say .....

Orange and gray ... one which you posted in Caroline's thread reminded me of this .... Four skinny vanes.

Coolness. .... and those are both Bogards?

Bananas!? Oh no! Oh no! Three companies made them?! I'm gonna quit trying to ID bananas!

Jerry ... you there? Didn't you have some luscious red cat's eyes? Found 'em! Aren't those luscious! Base looks red to me in the picture but it's clear and all the color is bursting from the vanes.

Yes, they did have ade patches. The Ades were Moss Agates. And I'm pretty sure some of the Ades patches had at least a little extra white to go along with the main color. (I'm seeing some extra white on yours, yes?)

I wondered if they could be Masters but I don't know how we could tell. We could start a thread asking about the range of Master's seams or Master's translucent bases or Master's UV reaction ... but unless we have folks looking at original packaging that might not be very informative. Most of what we think about Akro versus Master has been passed down like an oral tradition among collectors. Our IDs are made based on that tradition and the ID's reinforce themselves. Long seam for Akro. Short seam for Master. UV-reaction for Akros. Not UV-reaction for Master. So if I start a thread for Akro patches and a thread for Master patches, people might sort them by stereotypes, and I'm betting a lot of marbles would end up in the wrong thread, with errors going both ways. It could turn out that if we had a bunch of Master's boxes we could find a lot of marbles with traits that we have been identifying as Akro. And there are surely some Akros I've been calling Master.
