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!

WTF ? Why is it called Quick Sand when it takes forever to slowly get swallowed up ? 

  "Quick" used to mean "alive".

Can you really tell the difference between 17 below zero or 24 below ? 

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.   

Nice catch.

  Pelt Rainbo

Yowza!

Suddenly it feels like the Fourth of July.  

Now you guys are seeing what I was seeing.  

I'm still not saying not MK.  But ...... definitely worth a closer look.  

Pretty sure Alley.  

Both the red and the white have a touch of translucence.  In a Christensen you're generally going to have very opaque or quite transparent.  

The translucence points to a WV swirl.  And the flamey pattern points to Alley.  

I'm not saying not to Marble King!  I just want to see it closer!

More views please. 

Also would be good to trim out some of that background  to show off the marble a little more close-up.  

I don't remember a requirement that ribbons go under the surface in the Pelt Sub.  I only remember it being a question of what the base glass looks like when backlit.  [Edit: with the base looking mostly solid in natural light and going almost transparent when backlit]

I have a different issue with the marble.  I'm not 100% sure it's Pelt.  The pattern looks more Marble King.  I'm probably off base with that.  I'm not aware of this color combo in Marble King.  I'm just  getting hung up on low ribbon count and the patch on the end. 


So, my answer is "maybe"  [Edit: but probably not]  

Unable to tell what the marbles in the Coca Cola bag are.   The bag is so crisp that I'm worried that they're Jabo and that the bag is a fantasy bag in spite of being mesh.    But maybe it's actually an old bag and just happens to be as mint as can be.  

Hi, I think we're looking at Vitro or Akro. 

Could we have more views of the big  red, white and yellow?

I do not know.  I suppose Master is possible.  Yeah, it could be a cat's eye of sort with the ribbon close to the surface.  I think that's a good color for a Master cat's eye.  

I think Vitro Victories also have that color of patch.  

Or the strange shape of a patch could point to a Pelt.

Such a minimal ribbon of color makes it hard for me to commit.  

 

Yes

Not seeing Wales.  At least, it would be as  unusual for Wales as it is for any other pattern that I fit it into.  

Akro slag??

I'll go with Cool Master or Cool Foreign.
