Great news to wake up to.

I'm leaning Akro.

I enjoyed a phase of hunting for Bakelite. I still am fascinated by it. No marbles!

The primary colors for light are different from the primary colors for pigments. For the colored lights that you see coming from your TV screen or computer monitor, the primary colors are red, green, blue. I wonder if that's where the notion of a fourth primary color came in. But they're two separate things. Three primary colors for pigments. Three primary colors for light. Not a fourth primary color.

Yeah, that would make my heart pitterpat.

Maybe Vitro? Maybe I should be more confident, but something is making me hold back. Possibly just too late at night. But at least I can bump the thread.

I'm sticking with Rooster. To me the white looks swirled. Not Peltier-like ribboning. That's all I got. I'll just spectate from here.

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?

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
