Wow !! In have to remember to bring my "survival marbles" w/ me camping.

"Welcome Bill" Our big Black Tom's name was Sam, I really miss him "a trooper" he refused to eat cat food, insisted on killing his own prey, no mice around and the birds only really showed in spring, we lived 8 miles out of town & our nearest neighbor was over a mile away (the good old days)

Do you know what the agate the lion has is held on place by Ron ?? I found what looks like a metal pin glued inside pee-wee agate I have ?? Just wondering if ya knew or have ran into this before?? Some form of a metal pin in this pee-wee, @ smaller than .50 not much room for error, this mib is faceted. Not sure if there's glue holding it in or what ?? I'm figuring it had to be part of a letter opener or something similar?? There appears to be some form of metal pin holding near the back feet of your lion ??

Found this definition of "Blood Alley" i. e. "Real Taws" on a link I have been using to research old and foreign marble terminology. I seen the pix Hansel posted before of Blood Alleys and was intrigued as I had never seen them before, only heard of them. LINK : http://www.americantoymarbles.com/glossary.htm

Hmm ?? Lots of the newer MK has a pinkish base like yours ?? Definitely not MK though ? On the fence, not enough for me to go on.

"Onionskin Hammertime" Some do have inner cores of color, this one definitely doesn't, guess this one's already been gutted. Through the Rabbit hole w/ a Maglite, what once was a huge marble

Faceting has multiple "flat spots" like the faceting on a gem stone thus the term "faceted". I agree, faceting can be very hard to see sometimes : light faceting, wear, damage etc...
