Sold it. Another of the awesome marbles I got early on and sold before I realized how much I'd miss it.

I don't remember my red angel glowing. In fact, I'm pretty certain the base didn't. Long time ago and it's gone now but I was big into vaseline glass then and kinda remember being disappointed the base didn't glow ... and then I started realizing that it might be a special marble even though it didn't glow .... and that might have been the marble which brought me to the forum. I wanted to ask about it.

Pretty

Thanks, cheese. And thank you, Ilya. Nice to see you.

There was a little hole in back of the bag which somehow got a little bigger. I don't know how it happened. Out of the bag it still seems oxbloody on the edges. I'm loving ALL of the colors.

Thanks. Those are the ones which really surprised me. How could I have forgotten those!

I'm gathering all my marbles together and sorting them into pencil boxes which family and friends bought from Wal-Mart clearance for me. I have sooooo many pencil boxes. Gotta fill them all! Sooooooooooooo ... I keep coming across marbles I completely forgot I had. These were all in one batch. What do you call a brown based NLR with red ribbons? ... and do I open the bag? .... I wanna get a better look at one of those marbles. Two blue ribbons on one side, and a wide blue and oxbloody-looking patch on the other.

Yeah, sounds close. Nice and simple. Some white seems vital for the glow. Too much white means blocked light. It's been my hunch for some time that Peltier was better at quality control of the Realer base glass than Akro was of the Ace base glass.

That's just plain fantastic.

Okay, let's call it a Twilight.

Another good one!

I'll guess yes while waiting to hear from someone who can answer with at least a modicum of confidence.

Yes!

Oh that is nifty!

It is beautiful. We can make up a name! Blue champagne? Since we know it's a pelt I'll move the thread to the main chat to see if someone knows a name.

Not a single marble? What a waste! How could you bear it?

Interesting combo. ( : Blue and yellow patch in post #9?

Thanks, Andrea. :) Mike will be glad to hear I'm finally calling the base blue. I'm still feeling pretty warm and happy about that patch. :) :)

We finally got a few inches. At last it feels like winter. I needed that. Now off to walk to the post office in the 10 degree weather. Only 3 blocks ... I hate to warm the truck up for that! So it's layer time.

Cullet is awesome. Not just starting out early but starting out early with some serious mibological stuff!

Your red, white and blue one is gorgeous. What colors would you use to describe the middle one in post #2?

I thought I had more than this. Four will do for now.

Here's a marble (posted by oldflame) which got a split decision awhile back. I said flat out popeye. You agreed. Alan said popeye-ish and some might just call it a corkscrew because it was "somewhat lacking in the thready white strands". You said you thought you saw some good wisps in two of the photos oldflame showed. And my thought was "so what if you couldn't find any wisps?" What if it was solid white inside the clear, without any stray white strands? I was fascinated by the idea that the marble was part of an Akro tri-onyx run and would have been sold in a Popeye box, but that was somehow not enough to make it a Popeye.
