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

New to me.

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!
-
"Quick" used to mean "alive".

I think I could. You can feel the temps go down from "uncomfortable breathing" to "painful breathing" to "excruciating breathing". But I can't swear it. Pretty sure I've been in -20. I know from recent experience that things get quite nippy by -9. Pretty sure I stepped out into -20 once a few years ago, just to say I did it, and back inside I went.
