The one on the right looks like a Paul Bunyan. Likely made by Master, last I heard. On the left? Marble King?

Nice! Good luck!

lol @ the marble mobile.

Akro! And love that greenie.

Love it!

My husband has been watching those cooking shows and he wouldn't eat any of the food even if we did have it in the house. But he regularly watches people cooking up their vegetables and stirring their sauces and chopping their fresh herbs .... it's very strange.

For what it's worth, I'm inclined to think Akro on those. There's a sheen on them in the photos which gives them a slightly foreign look. But I noticed something similar on some of your American-made cat's eye photos. Translating that to this makes me think American here also, and that leads me to Akro. P.s., that's a really cool effect with the camera -- just not something I see often and I've wondered before how you got it.

I'll guess Champion on the red/white/blue. I wondered if it could possibly be newer than Champion but in those two views I don't see the patterns of a newer marble, so I'll go with Champion.

Maybe Jackson on the black? http://marbleconnection.com/topic/7299-black-white-swirls/ Maybe?

Here are some Alleys: http://joemarbles.com/1Marble%20Picture%20Pages/02Alley%20Agate/001%20Alley/Alley%20Agate%201.htm

I'll go with WV Swirl. They look like Alleys. Edit: Yes, what Galen said.

Yes, I bet that's cute in person.

Tournament? What are the stakes? Clean 'em out!

Beautiful. It's still pretty cool here so far, and we keep a fan going for the little one. (Expecting a high of 60 today.)

That's something for us to consider. Most addresses are turned into links automatically. Supposedly when you paste the website address into your post, it turns into a link automatically when you submit the post. The address needs to start with http though, not www. There is a button in the panel at the top of the reply window which can add the http part if your address doesn't come with it already. When I look at the ebay page, I don't see an http. But when I copy the address from there and paste it here, the http magically appears at the beginning for me. Do you do that? Copy the address from your ebay auction and then paste it here? And then does it not turn into a link automatically when you submit the post? Experiment here and let me know.

Probably in the sense of them being transparent swirls. The name "snotties" didn't apply exclusively to CACs back in the day.

Anyone have a bag of snot agates? ... which I'm guessing is Rosenthal because of there being 38 ... and now I wonder if Rosenthal made the snot agates themselves at the Lawrence Glass Novelty Company.

Yes, that's what I meant. and kewl!

That1 .... is yours a transitional?

Oooooh. That's different.

Structure? Corks? Swirls? Seams? Hand-gathered?

That's a definite puzzle, Ray. I'm feeling your frustration. But I don't know what it is myself. That's why I'm just watching.

Oh yeah! Beautiful!
