  1. I believe the determining factor is if the base glass glows when backlit. These are NLR era mArbles , color combos can vary . Here’s another with a green base and red ribbons sometimes called a Translucent Dragon.
  2. Here’s a newly acquired example
  3. Thanks Steph , I will let you know if I find out anything concrete
  4. Looks like an Akro tounge Patch , but has a clear base with a mostly white vernier on the surface like a Vitro . Someone informed me that Marble King Made Berry Pinks In 5/8” and were given away at marble tournaments . Any info on this would be appreciated.
  5. Thanks Dan .I've decided it's a CAC , the blue is too deep for standard Akro blue , and the Turkey is pretty textbook. Someday I'll take it to a show and have it looked at in hand and see what kind of response it gets.
  6. Thanks Steph , it’s definitely vintage, but the glass looks like Akro to me and I’m wondering if it’s a screwed up corkscrew that accidentally looks like a turkey. There’s actually a second turkey head on the back side of the marble.
  7. Hi folks , I have one that is baffling me . CAC Turkey swirl or something else ?
  8. Would live to see an opaque eight-finger . It seems like they are hard to find!
  9. I just learned that these are imperials . The seams are not correct for Vitro.
  10. Those ribbons remind me of a Berry Pink type of a striping , just an observation
  11. I’ve got these two jobs that look like Vitro eight-fingers but they are opaque with brushed ribbons. Maybe they are foreign? I read on the Joe’s Marbles website that Vitro made them in opaque , maybe it’s misinformation. Can anyone help with identifying them ?
  12. Very nice ! Would love to see a closer pic !

    Id.req.

    I believe it's nickname is "dragon" if it's a Peltier. It looks good for a Peltier.

    Peltier

    Would this Rainbo have any kind of nickname to it ? The base color is grey , with some red and white striping ,
