What size?  If large then that could point toward Blue Devil.

Your marble is pinker than I think of with the Blue Devil but maybe that's allowed.  ??

It would be cool to get some close-up pictures of the reds.  From the box photos it seems that the reds might have a different internal texture from the other colors.  

Here's a picture posted by Bill Liebbe. 

Here's one of Dave's sets of auction pix.  Pulled it up from Facebook.   41/64".   Big photo but you might have to click through a couple of times to supersize it.    His Facebook listings are nice, by the way.  Quality marbles that you can get for about the same price as as or not much more than what a lot of commons are selling for on Facebook.  












 

Here is nice pic of Joanne Singleton's sample box.   I just figured that Melissa was looking for something showing more detail.   And though I didn't save Dave's pix of the Cloudys aka Melon Balls he was selling,   I remembered them as being high quality.

Does anyone have any close up photos of master cloudys showing the pattern?

@westcoast_dave has been selling some Cloudys recently.  He might have some good close-ups.  

 

❤️ kitten! ❤️

Here's the first light tent I planned to use for marble pix.  My boy Joe quickly claimed it as his own.  I didn't object.  Joe was old.  And he loved his cave so much.

Real or fake Popeye ?  Clear base corkscrew white filaments Popeye with blue/yellow/orange hybrid and oxblood. 

 

Scott Patrick's work?

??? 

I need ... I don't know what I need.

  The marble looks modern to me.  

I'd adjust the  settings on my camera.  That base totally looks blue in the photo.  With a blue and brown swirl, I was scrolling through the Vacor listings, and googling to try to find the Chinese marbles which resemble the Vacors.  

What a difference it makes to be told the base is white.

Some of my favorite Vacors

How wonderful they all look together. 

I think it's a double ingot -- two Marble King bumblebees stuck together.

Yes those are the run of Vacor Wicked Owls that look like the original one to me.  That’s why I shared the pic.  They are older (believed to be the first run of them) instead of a newer run of them.

Good call.  Very possible  

Josh, to me it sounded like you were presenting these as Wicked Owls.

And sounds like others would like to hear more about it.

 If I like it, I get it.

I can dig it!  
 

The colors are dead-on for Vacor Wicked Owl.

Hard to guess the odds on that.   Better odds of a shooter patch?  Or better odds of a rainbo whose ribbon peeled off?  I guess I"m leaning toward the rainbo. 

Crazy weerd.  

I guess I mighta thought of doing something like that ... if I hadn't heard very early on, on this forum, that some Pelts don't like harsh cleansers.  Mighta learned it from you.  

Here's an old pic of some of my Joker 2's.       I was told that was a blood viper in the middle.    Dark marbles which need sunlight to bring out the color as I recall.  Pretty sure no blue cobra in hiding among whatever others I have, but I'll have fun checking my small lot. 

I think Alley.  I used to think Champion, but then someone told me Alley.  So Alley or Champion.

Red and white is kinda hard to pin down.  

Just a thought on photos -- you have the marbles lined up so that they go across the width of the picture instead of the length.  You you reoriented them, they could make better use of the camera screen.  

Also, of course, if you could crop that would be good too. 

Let me change that to "maybe Vacor".  I'm not getting a clear handle on the ribbon structure.  

I'm thinking Alley, Vacor, and then a second WV swirl but not oxblood. 

I'm thinking a WV swirl ....  but whose?

hmmmm
