"Happy Thüringen Thursday" A .80" av. Joseph Coat, my favorite type of Handmade, the two unfinished pontils help date it approximately to the late Victorian era i.e. 1880 - 1910 or there about's, the older ones usually exhibit a faceted pontil and a melted pigtail or unfinished on the other end. This one not in my hands yet but it's on the way, these larger Coats have become VHTF, especially with av. & in any kind of mint shape.

None here, seen similar but a frog or a lizard a first for me Maybe when they said time out I never came back ??

I see an old flower frog ?? I used to put mine in them but they took up to much room which has become a commodity around here

Not Vitro or a US manufacture, I don't think, traits of Master but only on one end, wish I could nail it down for ya !!

"Welcome to Marble Connection Aaron" Glad to have ya, lots of marble and marble related knowledge here & Folks more than willing to share what they know. Again "Welcome"

Heaton Firecracker

Yes !! Agree, Pelt Rainbo

"Happy West Virginia Wednesday" "A batch of Heaton Rotten Robbins" Please forgive all the reflections, not the best pic I know but the better of the two I took !! Another pic of some Heaton Rotten Robbins taken by Chuck S. (cheese) There are a couple different variations this one is exactly like the ones I have.

These were sold on Etsy but they're her marbles, a full description and other details are on the link. Some real beauties for sure, says they are a type of white clay w, a rolled surface, a unique process & "yes" made in Italy LINK : https://www.etsy.com/listing/1017441544/8-marbled-clay-marbles-hand-made-by?show_sold_out_detail=1

A Pelt variant to me, Pelt made loads of variants and one offs. I've seen them before, no name that I know of, definite keepers though

Is the line a greenish tint Art ?? Honey Onyx is supposed to be on a translucent (semi opaque base) your base looks to be opaque ?? I found a pic of a box full from an old auction. Another pic and description from the (MSCA) I have a few of them and they look exactly like the ones pictured and in the box, almost a milky translucent look, I take it a patch type marble. The line definitely has a green tint, not transparent but translucent. I have to start taking hundreds of pix anyway, guess I'll get some when and if I stumble onto them again ?? A close up shot of a Peltier Honey Onyx

Meeyah !!

Agree, I also see Alley or Pelt one of the two !!

I nave some Japanese transitional's that are very similar, that or EU transitional would be my "guess" Tommy !!

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.
