X2, not seeing CAC here

Leaning Vitro

Some Vacor Scorpions for this "Slags & Swirls Saturday"

Probably Vacor IMO, maybe vintage but I'm thinking it's not that old, machine made for sure.

Contrary to popular belief errors make the marble worth less, usually found in cull piles by diggers, marbles that have been discarded by the factory, every once in a while one slips by.

Looks like one to me, I think you have a winner

It would be a lot better if the fracture was on the opposite side of the marble where it couldn't be seen while viewing the ox action, what a bummer, it is a nice marble.

Cased Clambroth. I know it sounds wrong ( should be a milky translucent base) but it's 100% transparent clear based. All of them I've seen sold (which has been verry verry few) have been called cased clambroths. VVVHTF took me 40 years to find one in the wild. Only divided ribbon core I've seen W that much Black on the ribbons to the left, just below the clambroth.

A bundle of joy , there are some VHTF marbles here along W some verry common ones. None make the Pee-Wee cut, some are close but !!

Banded transparent IMO, maybe my I.D. terminology is out of date ??

Annealing Fracture IMO, even if you can or can't feel it, some are subsurface and can't be felt with your fingernail some aren't, 100% machine made whether you can see where it was sheared off or not, no indications of it being a single gather IMO. A HTF marble yes, still not a 9.9, 9.0 mint - because of the fracture IMO, rarity doesn't boost condition. Pontils always refer to handmades, torched pigtails, faceted, unfinished or whatever. Machine mades were cut off with shears by a machine, so no pontils, shear marks, if they can be found. BTW- No such thing as "non fluorescing Ade glass" since that's what ade entails, if it has an ade base it should react to uv light. A good marble will sell itself in my experience. If you like it buy it, whatever makes you happy, as long as you're satisfied but I find the description more than misleading IMO.

Maybe Vitro but not a horseshoe cat IMO

Yes @stephenb is a member here, most of his videos can be found here as well as you Tube, they are outstanding.

Vitro

Both Alley IMO
