    Yep an odd one for sure. Not too long ago @Melissa Id'd one similar to this one as a Marble King. I believe it to be fact. Marble--On!!

    I would call it a Version of a "Conqueror" by Vitro. Pretty cool! Marble--On!!

    Nice Marble--one of a kind. There are folks that collect "Football" (USA Football) shaped marbles but they are fussy too. I had one that was a corkscrew and I treasured it. Marble--On!!

    Image #4 and #5--is that a true Carnelean? Pretty cool! I look at them, like to hold them but do not collect them. I like the cool feel of them and if I ever hold one that feels warm--I will wrap it in lead. Marble--On!!

    Welcome Kim, to "TheMarbleConnection", and this crazy hobby of collecting toy marbles. I look forward to seeing what you have found. Post three or four at a time with multiple angles shown. Start with the ones that you think are pretty. Multi colored marbles are going to draw more attention from the group here. Marble--On!!

    I cannot really make out the pontil in your image but a ground pontil would show a ruffer texture and a melted pontil would feel smooth like the surrounding glass. Hope this helps. Marble--On!!

    I can see where you are coming from--it is very similar to a “Pelt Burnt Christmas Tree”. It is not imho. I would probably sort it as an Alley Agate swirl. It could be one of those Jabo “Contracts” that screw us all up though. Nice marble, nice share. Marble—On!!

    I agree, "Millers" are still Millers imho but they are a rare find in todays world. This one is just a very nice "swirly" Pelt Rainbo. Just a Killer Marble! Thanks for sharing it with us here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!

    You keep it coming Wayne--welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Marble--On!!
