Listening to a "50's Pop" infomercial/fundraising show on PBS. Didn't realize how many of my favorites were from the 50's. Hey ... I was young then. (*cough cough*)

Can you imagine Jim Morrison at 71?

Thank you for sharing, Griff.

Loving it some more.

That blue, green and black looks familiar.

What do you estimate such a paperweight would be worth? And how would that differ from the marble version?

Oh noes ... none of my marbles on this page. *sheepish* I've still only taken a few pictures.

That's teh awesome, Alan. Thanks! lol Saving!

Bullet molds!

Hello Dan. Welcome. Might need another picture to make sure. From this view, that looks like a Peltier Rainbo. From that view it looks like a style which was introduced in the 1930's.

... I call them my Dali sparklers. Don't have the photoshop skills but I got lucky with the background.

I've already misplaced my itty new sparkler. And my itty new lutzes. *eek* Please post some of your sparklers. I will be back when I've found my marbles.

This is starting to make sense to me.

So, these are the marbles I'm guessing yours could be: http://marbleconnection.com/topic/15140-vitro-cosmic-rainbow

The seams are kinda hard to see on this transparent base. Do you see where the ribbons join on the side? That's the start of the seam. And I'm not sure but it looks like there might be a line in the glass which you might be able to see or feel in hand. But I really am not sure if I'm seeing the end of the ribbons correctly. Tried to draw close to the seam with the green line. In this view it's easier to see the ribbons coming together on the edge of the seam. (And there will be another seam where the ribbons come together on the other end.) If you don't see what I'm getting at, don't worry. This is a tricky one. Will be easier to pick out seams on other marbles. (:

Here's one I'd call a calligraphy, from Joemarbles.com. It has the look of stylized ink marks.

Alley seems like a good guess for it. I probably wouldn't call it a wirepull. Maybe someone else would or if they wouldn't, maybe they could articulate why.

Hi Jesse. Photographing transparent marbles can be really hard. Not bad at all. My first thought was Peltier Rainbo. But then I thought Vitro. Maybe a Vitro Cosmic Rainbo. And that is what I am leaning toward now. For purposes of art, angles are nice. For purposes of ID, I prefer to see seams straight on. Helps me orient myself on the marble.

For yours, the left is MK and I think the right is actually Peltier.

Who izzit? Vacor? Vitro?

I'm ready. But you have to knock loud or use your cell. The doorbell doesn't work.
