Agree with Akro Another one that I think would have been put out under the company name of "Moss Agate". But modern collectors do indeed use the name "Ace" for some of these nonpatches with mossy bases. P.s. I'm only assuming non-patch here. I can't tell from the orientation of the photos. If it's a patch marble, then flat out Moss Agate.

Art, I agree that your marble is a Popeye.

I was referring to Jeremy's marble. The one in the first post. My first thought was that it was a marble that Akro would have called a Moss Agate. And then lighting up as it does additionally nailed it down as a Limeade in my mind.
-
What I'm seeing is a marble that Akro sold as a Moss Agate and that collectors call a Limeade. At least that's what I thought I saw, until I saw so many other collectors not seeing it!

x3 on no Pelt. However, the right one might be a Marble King.

Yeah, multicolor on the last marble, not a sunset. For sure "not just a rainbo" there!
-
So, who made cherry red glass? Would that be Vitrolite or Fenton cullet in the ribbon? Who did 3/4" marbles on a wide enough scale to make them a good choice to consider for a random marble ID. To me, Jabo looks like a really good guess, but maybe we could learn something about those questions .....

p.s., I think some people call it a sunset also with orange and white ribbons or yellow and white ribbons. Not sure about that. But am sure about red and white.
-
Red & white ribbons in a clear base, usually with bubbles.
-
(because it's sort of random so it's not calling out any other maker's name, plus Akro made the most slags)
-
Looking Akro from here.
-
Yes, a rainbo. No, not just a rainbo. Peltier Sunset.
-
Someone posted something they called a Vitro on facebook j with a thin blue ribbon like that. And I could totally see Vitro there. (Sorry, I can't find the picture now. Posts are too easy to lose on Facebook.) The texture/shade of that green might be what is hanging me up.
-
Now you've done it, Ric! I was trying to avoid throwing other maker suggestions in there, but I thought of it!
-
Size? The first thought I had was Marble King, but then I quickly went to "good question!"
-
I see where that could be tricky, but mostly if you were trying to give it a numerical grade and were tempted to call it a 10. If you're describing it in words, then I think "wet mint with as-mades" is a perfectly legit description.
-
I'll go with "unusual". But I don't know. I also think older. But where it would be in the timeline compared to a well-defined patch and ribbon ... before, during, after? ... I don't know.

MP? MK?

Maybe Jabo

My rant is that last week we were told to expect more than 7 inches of snow in these past two days. THIS is what we got! A pathetic glaze of ice!
