Here are some Alley shooters. Sorry, I don't recall the source of the pix.

Mike, I don't know much about Akro vs. Vitro in the tricky cases. Mostly I have pix on hand which let me know that they are tricky and make me reluctant to say one way or the other. Here's a group I gathered together a little while back with some resemblance to yours.

Here's an auction beauty with just a touch of blue and much more purple coz I know Felicia would like to get some purple going! LOL

Nice person. I'm still curious about the detail. Could we see a closer up pic, or a description would probably do. Thanks.

Wonder what Google wanted to say. Seems they thought better of it whatever it was.

Glad I qualified my answer and said "by that definition" instead of something absolute.

P.s., I'm with Edna. I thought Dragonfly was an MK name. update: I see that there's an NLR Sami calls a dragonfly. He said it has a blue base and green ribbons. The marble in the auction is still a rainbo, and thus wouldn't be a dragonfly by that definition.

Mike's could be foreign - a variation on the mushroom marble perhaps. I think that's what it is. I don't see Akro.

Ray, it's possible that Brian is having the same trouble. (see here) Sorry I don't know what the deal is. Maybe ya'll can compare notes though.

I haven't tried to upload any pictures since the change. What is or isn't happening? Sounds like Ray might be having the same trouble. (see here) Test photo: Seems to work okay for me. sorta wish it hadn't so I could maybe have a clue to help with.

Lou, Brian's looking at me. Make him stop. oooops, sorry, it wasn't Brian, it was Michael Jackson

Lou, stamp collecting? Do you have many marble stamps?

Bet that was a well-loved marble ! Too fun!

Why does every thread have to be so dramatic! Just kidding! Way cool Carole!

I already have two of Felicia's bags, so I'll sit this one out. to give someone else a chance to see how neat they are. p.s., here's that pic again from murmelwelt.de which the bags remind me of.

mmmm, nice ox. I'm not confident that I'm seeing the colors or structure correctly on the mystery marble. The inner partition looks like it could be Master but I can't personally rule Akro out at the moment.

Sort of a bump, sort of a blink Coz yes, sometimes Dustin loses points in his total score. How is that? Overnight he lost 6 points. Went from 2967.01 down to 2960.69.

Kevin, I withdraw any semi-automatic Akro call I made for yours based on ox. Whatever part of my call was based on pix others posted of Akros in those colors, that would stand, but objections based on ox, not so much. I see more and more ox floating around aqua glass. So much that now it seems like it could be an accident associated with that color. Yours is an awful lot of ox but stray amounts of ox near aqua glass seem almost natural now. (or maybe it's part of the red, or a mix or whatever, point is my previous objection is withdrawn)

Bet Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater's wife would have had a different tale to tell . . .

Steve, he's not 50. He's 49.95 + tax. Have a great day Lou!

Cool Craig. Thanks. It would be interesting to hear what Kathy thinks. David, here's what google gives about S.A. De C.V.: And another site gives a quick translation as "Variable Capital Company"

The minty/pistachio-y green corner of my dug Pennsboro Alley box fluoresces nicely. If I understand correctly, some of Ravenswood's pale greens will also.

Here are a couple of boxes from Mexico. First of their kind for me. Any thoughts? Ebay item 140331707292 Item 140331708508 A couple of pix from the first listing:

They appear to have oxblood. ??

lol. It doesn't show well in this scan, but both of these marbles have the striped frit that the big confetti from the auction has. . . . . . These marbles were dug in a Shanghai dump. I know there was dispute about the origin of the more slaglike marbles which were dug with them but I don't recall argument about the frit mibs. Maybe I'm only remembering the parts I liked from the discussion. LOL
