Been there since I've been on the forum. Bots can't comprehend it, kinda like a captcha and don't know what to do like a human, all a part of protocol I believe. When in doubt ask Jason but it was the second request when I signed into the sight years ago.

Every time i look at it, it Reminds me of the Donkey the KING rode in on.

From my Friend and Brother in the Netherlands'

Masters

The dreaded Lunchbox marble. This is Bills (Mibcapper) R.I.P. picture of one I believe he got from Roger Hardy, over an inch I if memory serves me right ??

All subsurface gas bubbles, no pops, I like the black, not easy to find on these old Onions, this is an oldy, one faceted and the other torched smooth.

As long as you're happy man that's all that counts

My babies, wet as you can get, not even a dimple or fold. One 5/8ths and one 11/16ths, as close to twins as I could get. The classic NLR patter is what I search for, either that or humongous.

Akro IMO, just my opinion

Generally you can feel the sems on a pelt, your marble still concerns me. it doesn't look right where the colors fade in and out., and the cracks and tiny round holes are out of place also. I wish i could hold it in hand for 2 seconds i could tell you exactly, it gives indications of light polishing or hand buffing, just my opinion, others will chime in on the matter. Pelts are one of the main types I collect so I am verry familiar with their traits.

whew, had ME WORRIED THERE FOR A MINUTE

There was large red, mostly hand gathered Akro, which also exhibits a 9 pattern like a lot of the early hand gathered slags.

something looks off, are there any sharp edges on the dimples or pits, or any trace of a seam where the ribbons meet ?

Told ya my brain was on the off position tonight. thanks man

Polymer marbles feel like air and the one you have pictured is made of a type of clay that's heavy and then fired i believe @cheese help, my mind is shooting blanks tonight

Not ox IMO

A woman made these, can't remember her name right now but theses aren't polymer, they're heavy, man I can't remember anything tonight.

MFC didn't make red or orange slags, the diggers never even found any cullet at the digs.

Just the way it looks and the size. Most of the bigger ones were opaque white based, perhaps @cheese will have a better idea, I may be completely off but I don't see Alley.

It's in everyone's box, to make sure your not a bot I think ??

Leaning away from Alley, not sure what it is ??
