Yes, BOTH. It's definitely a one of a kind. I have three of them.

Definitely more than 3. But not too many or they wouldn't be separate flame points anymore. Unless we had a theoretical marble, in which case we could have infinitely many, even uncountably many, true flame points though they wouldn't be visible to the naked eye. thank you, thank you very much.

Oh yeah! wow, that choked me up just a little.

Wow. Look at the birthdays at the bottom of the homepage. Is three the record for one day? Happy Birthday to you Mike ... & to Selbram ... & to Keltik if you chance to visit the board.

Hello Ron. Welcome. You sure know how to get someone's attention.

Just joshin', David .... but it LOOKS pretty flamey to me! :)

The colors seem to have run out earlier than usual on Mike's. Also, more conspicuously uneven. Yes, a little like flames randomly spitting. (:

Those are wild, Chuck. Yours aren't too shabby either, Bill.

Will await response with curiosity. I don't know a safe way to do it. (will also move this to the main forum for now, leaving a link in Restoration so I can pull it back after it has run its course)

That's a great vid. Creative people there. Here's another pretty good one. PG-13 for language.

Happy Birthday Griff. May your bait stay warm.

That's an awesome photo. I dreamt last night that I found some nice Akro oxbloods out in the yard. But they were Ann's.

Hi Chuck. Glad you made it!

lol. I figured that's what it was. But that's out of my area of confidence. So you can see inside it?

Gary, I'm confused. Are you talking about swirls or not? There are more than 3 companies to consider for fiery translucent mibs. There are at least 5 that I know of, and I'm fairly sure there are more. If you are speaking of swirls then some of the makers to consider when you have fiery translucent marbles are Christensen and Champion. I suspect there are others. If you are speaking of fiery translucent marbles with seams, then SOME of the makers to consider are Akro, Pelter and Marble King. And I suspect there are others. I thought you were talking about swirls, so I stressed the Champion possibility. However, with your last post you have me pretty thoroughly confused, so I guess I'll take a break now.

If by CAC, you mean Christensen, then no, not all fiery translucent swirls are Christensen. There are more modern ones. As I said, I think they might be Champs. In any case, I'm sure they're not all as old as Christensens. But the newer swirls aren't called moonies.

Tiptoeing in to point out a couple of technicalities: 1. The name "moonie" was around before Christensen. I don't know if it referred to stone or to handmade glass marbles. 2. Akro used the name "Fire Opal" for more than their red marbles. (picture) Tiptoeing back out now so as not to throw Gary's thread too far off track. I hope.

Yummmm!!!!!

Without photos it's tough but if they're swirls I think there's a decent chance they're Champions.

Happy Birthday. Getting a head start since I know you have plans for Saturday. Hope it's a beautiful weekend in Texas.

Would it be a snap to find 12 matched coral and green tri-lites to put in them? I'm still optimistic about those being original. Call me Pollyanna. lol

Sparkles!

you wouldn't call those helmets, Edna? To me the marbles fit the pre-WWII time frame.

Wow. Nice 'un!
