Uhhhhh……but I said Alley🔥 RAR…..doink 🤪

Is there one or is that a Homemade ID. I’m not asking about the Ruby Red Slippers. If there is one could someone post an example if you have one? If you don’t but this is a valid ID. What is the color combo?🔥 RAR

This is an example of a Comet🔥 RAR

I like those Rainbo’s that has the little clear section 🔥 RAR

I kinda of look like that when I wake up🔥 RAR….at Noon

Both are Akro’s 🔥 RAR

Tiger Eye yes. Odd? I don’t think so🔥 RAR

Akro Slag🔥 RAR

It’s a killer Alley🔥 RAR

100X with Ric 🔥 RAR

100X with Alan🔥 RAR

Cairo did. It was a factory just like Peltier,Akro ,Alley,Vitro,MK,Vacor,RW and many more🔥 RAR

I have to say no. They are common examples of several makers. $10 group. Let’s see what others think🔥 RAR

I don’t believe this is a Brushed Patch. The patches on you marble are on the surface glass but are also below the surface glass. A brushed patch is only on the surface glass. It’s called a Brushed Patch because the patch looks like it has been applied with a paint brush🔥 RAR

Sorry I got pissy🔥 RAR

Those are dangerous knock off Guineas. It’s a bummer seeing someone fall for them. The other one is the Vacor Serpent that can look like a Pelt Superman🔥 RAR

Looks like an Auger to me🔥 RAR

Tapped the Moons off the surface glass and burnished it with fine 1000 grind black sand paper and a sanding sponge for sanding and smoothing out dry wall spackle. Fun Zen therapy when sh!t went sideways in my life. I worked on it for at least 3 or 4 months. It’s a honk’n 2 and 5/8 buster. I just thought I’d post these🔥 RAR

These are examples for the Newbies. I got this group for $100 in the early EBay days. I was curious if they could be polished because I couldn’t tell what they looked like unless they were in a jar of water. I did some research and found Leroy Johnson in York Nebraska and dropped these off and got to see his polishing machines. He also turned me on to the marble Boards. He was the man!!!! So he polished this group and I learned a lot from him. Here are the examples of marbles I couldn’t even see what was in the Matrix. The thing that is lost in having a hand made polished is the texture of the pontils. He said he’d do his best but it will open up the marble and the pontils will be smooth. I was lucky to have a lot of different examples of hand mades. I just thought I’d post these showing what they looked like when the pontils are smooth and gone.🔥 RAR

Heads up Newbies…..buy a loupe and don’t get ripped off buying a nice looking marble that’s been polished 🔥 RAR

One last thing. Loupes are awesome when it comes to determining if a marble has been polished. The surface glass will be really smooth. The seams and pontils will be smooth and lose their texture as well. The last thing are the Flea Bites. They will have a sharp edge around them and not have the irregularities around the edges that represent the impact that caused the chip🔥 RAR
