Flaming Dragon cullet maybe ?? A little burnt ?? Hmm ?? Regardless a very vibrant & nice clean piece of Cullet, trying to narrow it down to company by color but I see you've ran into the same query as I have !! Looks maybe "Alley" too, I don't see Akro, MK or Christensen ?? Process of elimination should hopefully get ya within a couple manufacturers as to the proper I.D.

Alright, nice job Sherry, my favorite Handmades by far !!

Yesir Andy, good to put a face to the name, my mug is somewhere on this forum, thanks for takin the time on the book I know it probably wasn't an easy task, but for the love of the hobby !! No hunting for me this year, stinkin health issues !!

Link to the pelt citrus site, the last pic does look similar to a citrus family type but there were so many variants in Pelt ?? Maybe a bit of a peek at the pix on the pelt site ?? Wish the orange ribbons were yellow then an easy Plum Citrus I.D. Plum citruses are a little HTF than the others. The trouble with a one off is there is nowhere to get a value base. Still I have, and am drawn to one offs. LINK : https://www.peltiermarbles.info/citrus

Thanks for taking the time to post the pix Ron, appreciate it !!

MF Christensen never made a red slag, old handgather's and a few Akro & Christensen agate are very similar but not MFC. Bricks were as close as MFC ever got to manufacturing a red slag or any other red marble.

"Happy Monday" Not my mib as I don't really collect MK but still an old patch & ribbon type killer, pic courtesy of AAM

Just wanted to post a big lefty. I've bought Handmades from Kathy (oldnurse) before & I used to have two spotted EOD onionskins over 2" a rarity for sure as I've only seen a few this big since I sold mine in 09.

"Welcome to Marble Connection Andy" Good to see ya back on the board ok & great to have another fellow marble Brother. I've head from a couple people on your book now and nothing but praises. Thank you for taking the time and effort to further the marble community as a whole, I know I for one appreciate it and a book on Vacor has been a long time coming, I for one am looking foreword to my copy.

My best two Peltier NLR Supermen, all I can find are some subsurface un popped gas bubbles, anything that appears as a flea is just a reflection, I think there is one short micro asmade crease, only visible under a loupe, clean and wet, these were rated a 9.8 from the person I got them from & I agree. I'm kinda glad to find the micro crease, ensuring me that these have never been touched.

Nice and shiny Brother .... .... I have an affinity for the pelt Superman also, love em !!

We even have a business card in the works for our new corporation. I can feel the vibes of another brainstorm coming on right now .... ..... .... Lets see, where ever did I put those Brains ?? ....

Two Akro Limeade swirls, a Vitro and an Akro oxblood patch. Man, this blur has gotta go, guess it's high time to set up again, these free hand pix just aren't cuttin the mustard !! ....

Please post a few of your best, not necessarily your favorites but the best condition marbles you have. I'll start with probably one of if not the cleanest marble I have ever owned besides a 21/32nds Purple Popeye I once had. A 3/4" Akro Limeade Oxblood, not even a dimple on the surface of this one, if ever I saw a 9.9 this would be it. I wasn't moving the camera here, it was on a tripod w, a remote. The oxblood actually gives the illusion of motion on this one, a kind of fuzzy rippling effect. Another pic of the same mib. Note the ox still has the same blurry look in the same spots. I thought for sure I was moving so I busted out the tripod, needles to say it wasn't me this time.

Vidreo Fan Base Akro Thumb Pot Akro Patches

Lookin like Akro from what I can see ?? Hopefully it is and there'll be no more ...

A big gaming marble ?? I was going to guess on manufacture but Ron is better at these. I think he has a set of Chinese Checkers with big gamers like this one ??

All 3 of these definitely look Alley to me, as I lean Alley on all the rest of the opaque white based red swirls you have posted, there may be one or 2 that aren't Alley but all the remaining are West Virginia Swirls.

These are both Akro. The one on the left "looks" like an Akro corkscrew and the one on the right is an Akro patch. The one below also appears to be an Akro corkscrew. I'm leaning Alley on the rest you have posted.

I'm sure mine is gonna need a definite resurrection, it's been years. My Father passed in 04 about the time it went in w box , he made it years and years prior to that so maybe fossilized by now !!

Alright Doc ....

I hope ya don't sleep walk with that William ...

I had to bury the wrist rocket my dad made for me, the temptation in my childlike mind was (is) too overwhelming ....

... I probably shouldn't have used a slingshot on all the mibs Gramps gave me when I was a kid !!
