  1. Chuck, I was going by this pic you posted at AAM, at 5:00 it appears that you have one?
  2. A group Chad Cline posted on AAM several years ago. Peltier.
  3. There were some dug corals from Peltier and this may be one. I believe the ones like this are thought to be hand gathered. Chuck G has or had one.
  4. Looks like an Asian Cateye with aventurine to me.
  5. Vitros. Uncommon bag I think, at least I don't recall seeing one.
  6. I'm with slag. I can see the purple is transparent in between the heavy white.
  7. Yep, y'all are on it (as expected) that these aren't kosher for old marbles. Would you believe that these marbles don't exist at all? Artificial intelligence made them in a matter of seconds. My prompt words were "A big marble with neon green, oxblood, and gold". I don't see much gold but still the results are striking. I can't believe the details, the shadows and reflections. The results were generated in just seconds, 4 at a time submitted by AI for my approval. It knew to put light fixture reflections, blur the out of focus edges, make the shadows, etc... on it's own. I thought it would be interesting to show what modern tech can do in relation to the marble world. It's both fun and uncanny, maybe unsettling. I wish I could pluck these right off my screen. Here are some more to check out, thanks for looking!
  8. Just to help when looking for seams on swirls (generally called cuts or cut lines when dealing with swirls), here is an edited pic along with your original pic showing one cut end of the stream. The other end is buried as Ric described.
  9. Yep, the infamous "Alley patch" that years ago had many of us, myself included, considering the remote possibility that Alley made patches. Thankfully that was put to rest. So many other types of Akros were dug there as well.
  10. Chuck wuz here... And it's a vacor.
  11. Thanks Ric! Originally we thought it was a furnace, but things were wrong, like pattern and that crystal clear base glass. We pondered CAC and other makers and finally matched it up with the dug orange and yellow Ravenswoods Ron had. The added dark purplish color wasn't present on his but I later found one that had that too. It's with my Ravenswoods.
  12. Sure does. Is that transparent blue? Alley did make one similar, was unaware that JABO did too. I was assuming this was a big marble, it looks pretty huge sitting on the top of that bottle, but that could be deceptive.
  13. I agree with JABO. The touch marks are from rough handling and maybe softer glass, not sure. DAS has them too. They ding and zing and crash down ramps and baffles into the sides and each other, then drop into buckets, get stirred around and then poured from buckets into barrels, stirred around, then scooped out and poured into boxes. It's amazing any are mint when you think about it.
  14. Nice! The box looks pretty decent condition too.
  15. Holy moly Ric, that's the busiest one I've seen! Nice.
  16. I agree they are getting harder to find. The price might be worth it if it has good mibs inside. Most or all of mine have later St. Mary's marbles in them, mostly duller ones with tan/cream bases and greys and transparents with a few solids too. Sometimes you find some nice ones in them though.
  17. I see a real nice rainbo in pic 4 at lower left corner. Most in that pic shouldn't be played with.
  18. Master also sold Akros but that was later on in the 50s after Akro closed. I don't know if they sold them prior to that or not but I think not likely in the early days since Akro was trying to put Master out of business, not help them by selling them marbles.
  19. Yes, 1930s. A lot of them back then were around 21/32" instead of 5/8". Not just Master, but other companies too.
