First Alley swirl, not seeing Bacon, second is Akro milky IMO

Fire got it, one of my favorite Jabo's ...

Contact @crashbelt here on the board, he has an extensive collection of boards and complete sets of the marble in question.

They just planted them last year, part of the new landscaping I guess ?? If I see em comin up I'll get some starts real quick.

Not Akro ...

x2, Seeing Pelt also

Not Pelt ...

Went over and snapped a few pix of the orange flowers today. I'm over 6'1" and these are over my head. Unfortunately the rain already started doing a number on them.

Dope

Well I got er done, some of these pix are gonna be off center, I think my cam has an AI mind of it's own, I had to stay in motion this time and ride to pic button to keep it from focusing on the mib !! Anyway w/o further adue here it is. First clue :: Made in USA.

Great clue William a lucky guess on my part Now I gotta play battle bot w/ my Handycam again, later this afternoon, I have an appointment

Champion Furnace Marble ??

Thanks for the vid & the tunes Chad (Billy Corgan ?)

Also seeing whackd on Vacor Twister for #2, not sure of the manufacture in #1 ??

Modern here, Vacor = maybe ??

Peltier Rainbo ??

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.
