First looks like a Possible Alley :: second is an agate (mineral sphere) :: 3rd looks like a polymer (is it lighter than the rest) :: 5th Akro corkscrew

I don't know who the maker is but maybe someone will ??

x2, all 3 contemporary, do I see an initial on the pontil of this one ?? Looks like maybe an S ??

Pretty sure the last 2 are Peltier, first one looks like a Christmas tree & maybe the second as well. Hopefully @Nantucketdink will chime in a bit later and have a little more info on the contemp's for ya ??

First 4 pix are all Contemporary design (are there any initials or a year anywhere on them ?) maybe @Nantucketdink will have an idea on the correct maker ? Last 2 maybe vintage Peltier, hard to be positive from the pix.

A looksee @ some examples of oxblood, oxblood is usually opaque when the marble is backlit Example (Akro experimental oxblood) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Other examples (but not all) of oxblood :: Akro Lemonade Oxblood Akro Blue Oxblood Akro Milky Oxblood Akro Egg Yolk Oxblood Akro Silver Oxblood

Looks like a good possibility of ox to me

No ox

Now I see it barely in #5, some faceting, I looked again and again for initials, still leaning vintage myself. Good eye Brad, thanks for the heads up

I live right along the Columbia River in WA. state not to awful far from Brad up North. When I'm fishing I watch them and Osprey catch live fish all day long. The bald Eagle will scavenge, I think of them as more of opportunist, eating what they can when they can. If it wasn't Winter I'd say the Eagles were mating but since it's not. Yeah, probably a good idea to keep a close eye on your pooch ?? Beautiful Mating Ritual ::

Hmm ?? This one's lookin kinda funky even for a nova, I have my suspicions it's not a Pelt. Maybe a few more opinions on it ??

NIce Float Fire

I wish they didn't have their thumb over the pontil so I could see if it's ground & faceted or not !! But I'm still leaning antique, I have a begging dog sulphide that's pink (amethyst) like that. The one I have looks as sunlight exposure may have been the culprit but I'm not sure. I was thinking the same when I seen this one as you, guess whenever you question anything there's a reason you did in the first place.

Garrr ...

Real MK Bumblebee

Not Akro or a slag, W.Va. swirl

MK Grasshoppers (Rainbows)

Peltier Rainbo

"Welcome to Marble Connection Rolf" Sorry for the delayed intro, I've been a bit under the weather, looking forward to your future posts and pix. Hope all here can help you out with the American machine made as well.

Hello Ron, Wish I could help ya out w/ the name game but I barely keep up w/ it myself, I've head em called Crosthroughs for a bit now and wondered the same as you ??

OP are called Peltier Crosthroughs IMO, not cats or banded swirls

There are Crosthrough cats made by MK and a few of the Asian types, here are a couple cats, Japanese I believe, Sorry I don't have an MK example.
