Would be an interesting one to hold in hand, to see if one could trace a double ingot joining line around the whole marble. And to see if one could identify definite pelt-like ribbon combinations, preferably two complete pelt-like ribbon combinations of course.
-
The structure of the marble and the texture of the white in the first marble say Rooster to me also.
-
spooky!

Reopened the Vitro thread.
-
Good answer, Rick! We figured you were likely just having a bad day.
-
It all seemed pretty on topic to me, since what we have here is a marble with traits of both the Master Tiger Eye and the Vitro Tri-Lite, so rolling out examples of each for discussion is what we hope people can do.
-
This is one of my favorite topics. Here's some Master advertising from different decades with a variety of names. These two are scanned from American Machine-Made Marbles. I have "1951 or later" on the first and "1963 or later" on the second. I get pretty big images by clicking three times.

Vacor seems right for that size. Not aware of anything else it could be. I don't see it on Billes-en-Tete, but I suppose it's possible that there are varieties which didn't make it to Billes yet. Or how big do those Chinese ones get which look like Vacors? -
Today's Saturday - I'm three days late

Sweet box. Yes, it certainly makes sense for a Cairo company to go with an Egyptian theme. -
Here's an eye candy dish I posted in another thread in 2020. A lot of nonmarbular stuff in there.

With so many of this unusual marble, I can't help wondering what other marbles came with them.
-
Yup, that's the "vibe". When I was trying to figure out Master tiger eyes, people would talk about a potato chippy structure. Took me awhile to see what they were seeing. Now maybe I see it too much! But, yeah, that's the vibe I was picking up.
-
That would be cool.
-
The thing that made it looks sort of Mastery yet early than their cat's eyes was the potato-chippy structure I was seeing in places. Such as:
-
Brain racing. Went from Peltier Banana to Master Cat to Master earlier-than-cat to Akro. Gonna sit on Akro for a bit.
-
I think a good chance of it being Vacor. The bubble pop would be consistent with that. Here are three I have in my files, two with bubble pops. The first one has no bubble pops visible but I have a liking for it because I know it came from a Vacor assortment bag, from before the named bags started becoming a big thing.
-
My first thought was also Jabo swirl.
-
Here's the Tricolor Agates box which came into the discussion on Facebook. From a Morphy auction, but through a different website, so I couldn't get a bigger photo in my brief attempt. And here's a similar more patchy one that I have. And my apologies to Ben for being so late in getting to this thread. Thanks for the tag, @William

Peltier Peerless Patch or no, and is that an Ox Hair or...?
Steph replied to NeozLilBallz's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I'm all in on it being Pelt. I think the translucent base on the patches tends to be later, but still in the 1930's. -
Such a big piece to make such tiny details in the cat's eyes. Fascinating.
-
love 'em
-
You are asking the question in a perceptive manner. At least part of the red seems translucent, so that would not be oxblood. But I couldn't swear that none of the red is oxblood. Hard to say. I'm leaving the door open.
-
whizzer ... ha ... hope everything comes out okay
-
Oh it looks Jabo to me. Just clean and sharp.
-
What is the size on the second one?
