  1. I see both Cairo Novelty, here Especially in the first one (fifth photo), it features the typical Cairo design
  2. True! 👍 It really looks like a pumpkin. Nice connection, Chad, I'll call him Pumpkin! I corrected the description above 😜
  3. That thread is cool, Chad 👍
  4. Whisplers, yes, relative of Master. I wanted to open this thread to try to curb a bit this (which I still notice) confusion that can arise with Masters Below I will show a description of these, opaque and transparent. I don't have many, but enough to give the idea. These marbles generally range in size from 9/16 to 1 inch, maybe more My simplest and quickest advice, and in my opinion the most effective for identifying these whispering marbles, is that many, if not most, have or can have a very clear glass but very, very bubbly, which Masters generally do not have. Then, over time, with a bit of patience, you will gain experience and you will be able to notice some differences with Master marbles even in the seams. To begin with, I will show a text related to these, both opaque and transparent, followed by some marbles "A Vintage Whispler marble, sometimes known as a European Fat-Core marble. This opaque type is harder to find than the transparent variety. Detailed blending and strata combine with sophisticated opaque colours for plenty of interest and impact. Whisplers are a mysterious vintage marble class, distributed in England during the 1950's and 60's by British firms including Irene Manufacturing Company, Chad Valley Games, H.P. Gibson and Co. and T.S.L. Products, England. They are readily recognised as a mainstay of many nostalgic and happy marble memories. Appreciated for an amorphous, flowing character, they are often galactic in style with intricate organic striations. The opaque varieties have an intense character, with detailed blending of beautiful tertiaries in a creamy, earthy and often moody palette - unlike the more common transparent base Whisplers which range from clear and intense to cloudy, misty and filamentous; with wispy vanes, and delightful floating clouds of tiny bubbles. They can sometimes resemble the American 'Master' marbles due to a similar manufacturing process."

  7. Agree - It's funny, though, in this case that it's called a rainbo, with only one color... Good pattern, in this
  8. I agree with what you said, Alta
  9. Ottimo, Chad Yes, the third vortex of Alta is fabulous 💪 Another jumbo
