Master started out with very clear-cut styles. After a few years, their styles blurred. I'd probably put them all in the "Sunburst" category ... while the purist part of me recognizes that they're very different from the Sunburst marble which was introduced in 1930. Oh ... I just reread your post. I guess you might want to put them in with Comets since they present as opaque. But I still feel awkward about that. The lower left one might be a flat-out Comet. But would the others have come in a Comet box? I don't know. After the early set of names (Sunburst, Comet, Meteor, Cloudy, Clearie), other styles came out ... and what did Master call them in their official company paperwork? For example, what did Master call their brushed patches? I don't know.

oh yeah

Thank you! Those are some sweet eyefuls!

Yes, very pretty. I think the first one might be a Christensen Agate. The last two are Akros. The middle marble is an Akro Popeye. The bottom one is an Akro Oxblood. I _think_ it might be the kind called a Silver Oxblood. And it's a SUPER marble.

Those pastels are so lovely. I think I might like Vitros.

16 huh? I was thinking earlier today about a how many types of beans I could name. I guessed it would be less than 13.

Agree with Galen. Handsome Master.

So, you think the person knows he got posted on YouTube?

Oh my! Scrumptious.

Thanks, Edna.

Listing fees are a lot less expensive now than when I last actively sold. You can list many items per month for free, no matter how much the initial price is, if I understand correctly. Used to cost more to list something for $20 than to list it for 99 cents. Now free for all for your first 50 listings. .... I think is what I saw when I checked recently.

More adorbs ....

With that thick black middle, it might have been sold as a yellow jacket. Hybrid no matter what.

Gutta warm feeling from that one.

Oooooooh. I don't know what the current word is on Parrots. Used to be that they had to be 4-colors and a certain large size. Some people allow small marbles into the family now. Maybe three colors are okay too. But it's just a name, isn't it. This marble stands on its merits!

I'm not sure that one is even vintage. Doesn't look MFC to me. But it's busy. And someone might think they're getting a "brick". Who knows? *scratching head*

7/8" is pretty darn big for a Master Sunburst with that much color in it -- maybe that drove the price? And maybe some people thinking it could be a Sparkler helped. Whatever it is, that's big.
