  1. I'm still going with Vacor on that first one based on colors and texture, but this view makes it look like it could be more of a folded cat's eye than a swirl.
  2. I'm considering that the bottom might be vintage, but I don't know what it would be if vintage.
  3. Rick was posting while I was looking at the Billes site for which Vacor style the first one would be. Maybe a Sunflower. The shades seem to not be quite matching, but the Vacor Sunflower has orange, brown and yellow in clear, which is what I _think_ I'm seeing in the first marble here.

  4. That red and yellow is classically beautiful. I generally tag Josh when I want help with Jabo dates. @Nantucketdink
  5. My memory has gotten so bad that
  6. Still no sun to speak of but I won't wait any longer. Picture came out pretty well in spite of the clouds. Lutz on two. Mica on one. I uploaded a big pic, so if you click enough times on it you can get some good detail.
  7. I'm guessing that's one of a kind. Like something a workman might have done in spare time.
  8. With the new views, I will stick with Vitro on the lavender and Master on the other. Still just guesses though. Mossy base on the lavender and large sizes in general all leave me plenty of room for doubt.
  9. Not getting a good handle on the texture of the base glass or certain elements of the structure. Tentative guesses are Vitro and Master. But with mossy looking base in the photographs of the first one, I am puzzled. I associate the lavender with Vitro but I can't place a mossy base with Vitro at the moment.
  10. That's some nice ephemera to go with some nice marbles. Dennis Webb and Robert Brown are both marble luminaries. I found this thread first ... it has Brown's photograph.

  11. Some Alley Agates. A Peltier or two. A couple of cat's eyes.

    Time to Fight

    Breakfast of champions!
  13. I was able to put my hands right on my Scott Patricks but the photos will require sunlight, so hopefully tomorrow.
  14. The ribbon is not the type that makes me hopeful of CAC.
  15. Welcome! That's a nice group of marbles to concentrate on. I hope all goes to plan with your book.
  16. Something about that ribbon on the left made me looked closer to see if it could possibly be Christensen. I'm leaning Akro though.
  17. I wanted to say Vitro Bullseye, but I'm not sure if Bullseyes can have the extra color on the opposite end from the bullseye part.
  18. Peltier on the left. Vitro on the right.
  19. Scott's wife said he passed away in the night. How to describe Scott to anyone who didn't know him? Is it possible? A glass artist who wasn't afraid to rock the boat. I'm glad we eventually became friends. I knew he had health issues and still it's a shock. Prayers and condolences to all his family and friends.
  20. Contemporary handmade is accurate. I don't see the aventurine but could be.
  21. At 9/16, I'm calling it a really cool game marble.
  22. I'd gladly call it a Marble King. If I were selling it I would talk up the aventurine. But Green Hornet? ... not me. Also, note that you're looking at the description chosen by someone who doesn't know how to spell "aventurine".
  23. This second seller didn't like hearing the bad news but eventually he pulled the bad listings. Some people ARE willing to listen.
