There were a lot of slags in the lot I bought it with. Initially thought so too, but it just gave more swirly vibes. Hopefully a few others will comment

First thought was a German striped transparent/ slag but the seam is not as obvious as it usually is with those and the white is all beneath the surface, nothing actually on the surface itself.

👋 I have returned for your marble knowledge !
Alta replied to newmarblemom's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I hope others will comment as well, but here goes. The little one is called a Peewee Cat's Eye. Based on the colours I want to say it is likely Japanese but not sure. The 'ribbons' are called vanes. Those are multi vane cats eye marbles (usually they are 6 or 9 vaned but can differ). Some of those may be classified as caged cats eyes. Most looks a bit modern The last one looks like it may be a Peltier Rainbo, but will need more photos. Ps. I am a big collector of lego minifigs as well! -

Yes, there is a very dark brown between the red/orange and white. There is a similar coloured ribbon in that mostly blank side

Thanks. I was hoping it was another Yasuda for my collection!

I'll measure it once home, believe it is around 0.62"

Yes they appear more transparent, and at least with the ones I have if you backlight it it shines white rather than blue(most of my other Alleys similar to these either backlight blue or is opaque) .

Agree with slag, likely Akro

Sorry to hijack this thread, but Cheese (and anybody that wants to chime in), what is the easiest ways to differentiate an Alley like this from the Vacor old fashioned? When I saw this post my mind went to Vacor, and would just like to know if there are tried and tested ways of telling them apart. Thanks!
