Sure, Chuck. I assume you're at the same address I sent those marbles to for the scouts? I'll send you this one and the other we talked about if you want so you can make a better determination.
They are actually red strands in clear glass. I tend to think of it as a hybrid or rarer style of popeye since I've never seen one, but I wonder if it was sold in the popeye packaging. I suspect so.
Yeah, it's pretty close to those but maybe a tad more opaque overall. I have no idea on the one with the red strands... I just always considered it a popeye but never have put it up for discussion until now.
I feel like this one probably is a popeye, but the red is wispy, not the white.
And here is another like the red/yellow one I posted earlier. Some clear striations in the white, but not enough to satisfy the popeye criteria.
I don't really know. The white has some striation with translucence, but it probably wasn't intended to be a popeye. I have another I will take a pic of that I think is a popeye but some will say not.
There is a never ending supply of color combos it seems. Has anyone seen one like this before? The blue is not like any I remember seeing in pelt's pallette and then some yellow tracing the white too! I like it. I thought I had more than one pic on file... I guess they didn't transfer.
Duh... (smacking myself in the forehead).... I kept on focusing on the other end where that cut line is and completely overlooked the fact that the brown ribbon doesn't end until it meets back at that cut again. Okay, so it's obviously not a pelt. What could it be?
I've been hanging on to this marble for a while, not able to figure out what it is. I think some folks on an ID forum told me it wasn't a few years ago, but I want another opinion. If it is a pelt, what is it called? Too bad it's beat up.

The NLR reference was about the tan and red marble outside the bag in the first pic, down by the onionskin. Still wondering what it's called if it has a name.
