Thank you - I know people who go crazy over these mistakes. I don't go crazy, but I like them, just as Chad says, for their historical value! However, if they are prized marbles (we know which ones), or not prized, but that include unique and particular features, I think the value can rise quite a bit. Then, the matter can be subjective. Some Cairo Novelty errors, from excavation, followed by Ravenswood and DAS

Is anyone attracted to agates or mineral marbles?

I think it is a real cornelian, since it is not very 'special,' but I have never researched these things -

If it weren't for the measurements being so large, I would (perhaps) have attributed this to a 'Peltier Boyce second run 2001' cat's eye, weak, but those only reach a maximum of 0.669 (17mm) or 0.708 (18mm) I think it's a European marble, (perhaps) made in France? They probably made similar marbles, but I'm just guessing... Some images of a type of 'Peltier Boyce second run 2001', with a coloration similar to the op

Not whispler, even though it might have a weak, similar structure. Also, I assure you it would have been much more bubbly than this.

A Couple of Leighton's - "Horizontal" and "Navarre"
Roberto replied to IowaMarble's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
This marble of about 0.708 inches (18mm), with obvious fire damage, I got some time ago from a guy who claimed to have found it in a junkyard. Now, it was claimed to be MFC, but nothing for sure, any opinions? Here is the boy's statement: "i dug this from an old land fill . Plymouth NH jul 2017 Approx 3-4 feet depth. Also pulled out a bunch of benningtons and mib shards. Land fill was from a massive fire burned 12 homes. Late 40s." "The soil composition wat predominantly ash/charcoal. Almost all the glass in this horizon was melted. I had to dig through this to get to the pre 1900 dump" I took some photos and videos,- 27 replies

With reference to the second photo, it could be Pelt, but I cannot say for sure here Let's see other opinions...
