Cool Ric, that might help.

I got these at Brookville, IN. Here's a pic with the flash enabled. Bottom row, are the worst ones. Bottom Row, last one on the right is one I already had sitting in my CA display.

All are facing up with any kind of crease or seam or whatever facing up.

Nice!!!!

This one was on my Peltier board...have no idea why..

But it should be here!

Nice full coverage.

I was thinking that too, Dan. I've owned the CA Moons and these looks just like them. Let see what others have to say, maybe pictures???

Hello!!

I won a auction in another state, and today they came.

Thought I would post them to see what everyone has to say about them.

I have all the seam's facing down so you can't see them.

And, are you ready, I had to pay an outrageous buyers premium of.......

2% yeah; you read right.. 2%

Thanks and Enjoy!!

red galaxy???

poorboy golden rebel with extra seam.... ???

Wonder what kinds of questions he's getting??? Kind of, sort of; sounds hostile in his updates.

It looks really smooth, I think if I was going to shell out that kind of money on pictures, I'd have to take a drive and look at it.

That's a nice group!!!!

I was telling my buddy that peppermint had mica...Wow, it's got extra Mica!!!!!

Super buy!!

Taken care of.

Super pictures!!!!

Here's what Alan had to say about them....

SUNBURSTS AND TIGEREYES

The Master Marble Sunburst appears to have been an effort to reproduce the handmade onionskin marbles of an earlier era. These marbles have a clear transparent base which may be partially to entirely filled with colored glass filaments. The filaments run from one pole to the other and may be opaque to translucent and in a variety of colors. A variety of colors occurs, but most Sunbursts have only three colors or less in them. This trait helps differentiate them from Akro Agate Sparklers, which usually have more and brighter colors than do Sunbursts. However, some multicolored Sunbursts with four colors do exist.

A specialized variety of the Sunburst is known as the Tigereye and is fairly rare. This marble is essentially a Sunburst where the filaments occur only in a wide flat band that forms a ribbon stretched from pole to pole. It has been noted that most of these are white, black, and orange.

Some Sunburst-like marbles with a colored transparent base have been identified as Master marbles. One type that has been called "Crab Claws" has a transparent green base and yellow filaments and strands. These appear to be rather scarce.

Now one of my favorite one's is on the 3rd row last one on the right in the OP picture. Half of it is 'moonie' type glass... It's Killer!!!!

That's pretty neat Ronnie.

Does the repair show up under UV lights?

Thanks for sharing.

Nice Marbles Everyone!!!!

That's a neat box Steph. What number is it?? How many more you need to fill it? Is that an akro in there, right side middle row, 2nd from right?

Update... Got 95% of my grinding heads, Stainless Steel, no less. My fan blades will be here in 2 days.

The store I bought the grit from locally isn't there anymore, so I guess I'll get it off eBay.

Thanks for looking!!!

Well, since the Vitro post went so well, thought I'd share my Master Made/Glass photo!!!

Enjoy!!

Very Nice Stuff!!!! I like your Buttermilk!!! I think some of the more colorful Vitro types are under rated.

Hello Everyone,

I don't want to see a fellow collector bid on trash.

I emailed and got pictures days ago. But the seller didn't show the pictures on the auction or talk about it.

With no returns on the auction. Someone is going to be upset.

Anyway here you go.

Damage

But I guess the other marbles are good. I didn't ask about them.

Anyone know what kind of bead that is to the right of the Lutz???

I've been doing business with Her for years. If she 'even' thought they was buffed or polished she would mention it.

Good Seller/Buyer!!!

Hello Everyone!

Well I just got my newest vintage 2" Clay marble today in the mail. Very cool.

Here's a picture of it next to my 2 1/4"

Wow. I really like both of them.

Enjoy!!!!
