Still diggin, but in the meantime I did find the pix that were taken by the person I bought it from, albeit the colors are a bit muted in his pix but the structure is clear.

.... Wassuuuup !! Where'd everybody go George ?? Almost down to butter soaked dead heads here !!

Found the "solid Av" post on AAM, the debate continues (I guess ??) This is a great discussion, turning out to be a good post ... ... Mmm ... buttery goodness !! https://www.allaboutmarbles.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=46576&p=340093&hilit=solid+av+Champion#p340093

Agree 100% w/ you Chuck, the one Bob sold and the one I posted (though you can't see it in my crummy pix) both appear to be swirls. If I remember right I think you have or posted pix of a marble just like some time ago on AAM, I think the general consensus then was Champion swirl as well ?? Or was it Alley ?? Can't remember, gotta do some more diggin.

Was Block wrong when he I.D. this solid av opaque as a Master ?? I agree w/ ya Ron, but I'm still a bit confused ?? Maybe this is an exception to the rule ?? I looked for Master traits (cutlines) in the pix and it looks to me more like a swirl, thus the Champion I.D. on the one I posted.

The USB cord that charges it has paid for itself many times over vs. buying out of this world batterie$, one of my accidental "good decisions"

The OP is a transparent base Master brushed patch, Blocks marble is a solid opaque marble like the one I have. I agree, one of each should be sent to each of us for an extended analysis ... ... Don't get me wrong I'm still a bit confused on the opaque "Master - Champion" thing ?? It's a rare Mcally ...

Another Killer board David, you're makin me drool Never even seen em before !!

I know David likes Mica so here's the biggest and chunkiest amber mica I've ever had @ 31/32nds, from the 09 auction for this "Thüringen Thursday" Not even a flea on it only as made creases, looks like they were acquired while it was being twisted off the cane. Not single pontil, a melted pigtail on one end but still HTF in this condition.

Here's Blocks auction link w/ picture, there has been lots of controversy around these solid opaque av mibs for years. Mine was originally I.D. as Champion ?? I really don't know what it is?? That's why I had it up for I.D. Chad's OP is Master IMO, the base glass is transparent, therefor a transparent patch i.e. " Master Brushed Patch, IMO" LINK :: https://bid.marbleauctions.com/lots/view/4-72E4WC/marbles-master-marble-company-opaque-aventurine-1116-mint-99

That's an old pic, I've been diggin around and haven't come up w/ it yet !! Sistersville Alley was 2 out of three last time I posted it. I do remember the size was between 5/8ths and 11/16ths.

A repost for this "West Virginia Wednesday" time to smore. One of my favorite Alley's, came in a jar of mibs from a garage sale, I never even seen it until I emptied the jar @ home, a very pleasant surprise.

First day of rain tomorrow, things will be changin soon. Oop !! Almost forgot, I gotta stroll over and get a shot of those big orange flowers before the rain beats em to the ground.

x2, agree w/ Pelt i.e. Rainbo

SMM, Alley, other ... ?? I had this one I.D. long ago but still I question it !! I remember what it was sold to me as, what do you think ?? I have my own opinion and purchased it because I liked it. I posted it on both forums before with differing results

Some Pee-Wee's for this "Peltier Tuesday" two Wolverines a Mustard & Relish and a transparent Christmas tree.

Yessir, my favorite

First Wiger I've seen in some time, nice Any av ? I had one w/ and one w/o, the amount in the one w/ was very scarce.

Bout time !!

Had this solid dark green av up for I.D. several times on both forums @ 5/8ths" the general consensus was Champion.

Is it an Akro ??

Bingo .. .. I knew that last clue would clinch it !! You're up William, pick a winner

Ok late nighters, German was red hot !! One more clue, the seller of this marbles "twin" is one of our "Reputable Sellers" . If you hurry you'll see it ... ⏱️ Another clue, 18 Hrs. left till their final sale of the mib, starting right ... now !!

A water fountain topper, not sure if it's polymer, glass or what ?? It's pretty heavy to be made of polymer ?

Is thgat an old "Fire extinguisher" ??
