I know I should recognize the blue and orange one. Maybe it'll come to me. Hopefully it will come to someone else first.

That sure is different.

No, I sure can't.

Good detail on that one, Winnie. The rough part was unexpected.

Hi Josh. Good to have a JABO/Sammy's/DAS specialist in the house.

Could it be an Alley Ghost?

Do you think Specials were one of the types in this box? Or did "Specials" refer to it being an assortment?

Once upon a time Mike said that the Peltier name for the marbles in this box was Sunsets. I didn't make the connection to them being tri-color.

A Southern Clay Manufacturing Company did exist, but I'll guess someone just came up with another story to explain the same old Tennessee/Atlanta Porcelain ruse. Of course photographs could possibly change minds.

Do they feel heavier than ordinary clay?

Darn ... lots of missing pictures in that thread and the linked threads. Need to update. Still likely fake.

Do they look like anything in this thread? http://marbleconnection.com/topic/6908-mostly-pix-fake-chinas-tennesseeatlanta-porcelains/

Really good chance they're bogus.

Nifty way to save them.

I'm not able to make out enough details of the marble to know. From this one angle, it kinda looks like it could be in the more corky moss agate family. But with other pics who knows what it might look like.

Thank you muchly!

Who is the question to? Jess about whether there is opalescence? ... or me about finally capitulating and agreeing to the name "Ace" in spite of lack of opalescence? In my mind I'm still calling it a moss agate. But it looks like what others call an Ace so if you can't beat 'em ...

Yeah, hmmmmm.

Personally not sure of Vitro here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171833322493 Don't see Akro Blueblood here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171833304193, and not sure about Akro. This is a Peltier Rainbo. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171833348236 Not what is generally labeled "Multicolor". Multicolor is a name for a certain type, so it's confusing to use it as a description even if the description is accurate. This lot has one blackie. The marble with red on both ends. http://www.ebay.com/itm/171833340889 Since Blackie is actually a Vitro name, Blackline All Reds aren't usually called Blackies as far as I know. You asked for comments! I hope I didn't go overboard.

Nice use of busted marbles .... I guess they were busted?

We have photos of two of our cats who have passed. And a refrigerator magnet poem dedicated to one.
