Only double?  At one spot it looks triple. 

that whole display was their work?

Impressive!

I've seen Bear play with marbles a time or two in the past month.  That phase may be over.

Eggie!  

I think you're correct.

Pelt Rainbo.

I expect a more even translucence in Cloudys in general but looking at some photos, it seems the red Cloudy might be different from the rest.

Cloudys on the left here:

I think it could be a Master Cloudy.  

I wanna know too!  My first thought was Alley, but then it reminded me of a marble that I think may have turned out to be Heaton.  So I await the input of others.

Very pretty, in both UV and normal light.

I think it may be a pelt but I'm not on board with a woodie. No brown wood grain texture between orange bands. 

   

I've never quite understood what makes a Woody.  Not surprising to get that part wrong.  

Glass.

Pelt.

And I want someone to agree that it's a Woody.

I'm still waiting for the punchline. 

It's a Pelt, right?

I don't know either.  First thought Pelt.  But then all of a sudden it looked like Akro.  Then it quickly looked Master.  

I _guess_ I might still be leaning Pelt because of the two-sided-ness of the ribbons.  

Today I added to my stack of Chinese Checkers tins.  

But for now I'm gonna go with @Ric's  pic of Lambs in the Pit.

Alley. 

Alley Superman, I think. 

I don't often hear myself saying this ... not ones which are often confused ... but I'm going with "Alley or Pelt".

I'm giving serious consideration to Pelt.

It goes in the "transparent swirl" jar.  We smile at the beauty of the transparent swirls in the jar.  Then we move on. 

Agreed.  Alley.

No….it has to have 2 white patches on each side. The dark patch turns it into something else. What? I don’t know. Vitro first and Akro second 🔥

My first thought is Anacortes Vitro for Jeremy's marble.

I'm missing something here.  Looks woody to me.  

I have some Star Trek marbles like that somewhere.

Yes, very good news.  

So far to have to travel for treatments.   

I am purchasing a bag of marbles without seeing what's inside.  It's a worn plastic Marble King bag ... probably the contents are barely vintage if even that old.   And there's no guarantee that the contents are even mostly Marble King.  And the condition of the marbles are probably in line with the condition of the bag.

It's a middle-aged man's childhood collection.  He's a friend of a friend and I'm buying it for a modest price to be a good sport and to show gratitude to my friend for being on the lookout for marbles for me.  And it will be fun to see an intact collection from someone's childhood who is about my age.

After my offer was accepted, I did say that if the bag turned out to have anything rare in it, I would do right by the friend of the friend.  

So now I'm fantasizing about what might be in the bag.  

Just curious ....
