"Turkey Heads" show up in a lot of different marbles--even the newer Jabo. It is just a part of the process of marble making. I just suck at WVS ID but I would call this one a Heaton. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Non factual update here. These (many) advertisements came from a glass dealer to me about 25 years ago. I purchased a few from the seller on ebay and asked for some more. He had these ads and whatever he could find, he sent me. The marbles came packed in not USA made card board with hand written model numbers. I had no reason to doubt what was purchased. I kept everything except for the sellers name and address. It is still my belief that some of these, including the weirder stuff were marketed in the good ole USA. They were more than likely marketed in old mall gift shops, sadly most of these are in landfills in my humble opinion. This is just speculation on my part. I do know that old Mall stores tossed a lot of great stuff out (they still do). If it did not moveāout to the dumpster it went. I have contacted enough of the old mall managers through a daughter of mine (love her) of these shops that have remembered this nameāāAtmosphereā to give it at least a bit of credit. MarbleāOn!!

Longest Distance or Craziest Way you found a Marble/s
akroorka replied to AvvaRae's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
This is my craziest way. These are from my vegetable garden. We are in a drought here where I live but I still find a few. Just like the cropsāslim Pickens this year so far. MarbleāOn!! -
There are few experts in any field but I appreciate what you say and agree--of course--Thanks for stepping in and giving an opinion. I appreciate all opinions and will ride with this one for sure. Dang, I thought that I had a Killer MFC to put with my envelope---still searching--- Marble--On!! Thanks Ric, I really appreciate the input here. Nice marble indeed!! Marble--On!!

These two look like brothers and a wanna be cat eye
akroorka replied to boris64's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Very nice Akros imho ( killer oxblood patches) and you may be right--the right hand one may be a cats eye from Master Glass Co. Nice call Ric!! Marble--On!! -
Folded is kind of an antique term--lol. ( like me) Nice catch Chad. Marble--On!!

"Orange Brick" was the best description that I could come up with regarding this one. I did do a bunch of research (a lot) and never did come up with a better name. I truly appreciate anything that you have to say about this one and look forward to any images of yours that you may have. I will send a PM regarding this one. I need this one to be verified by an expert such as you. It is my intention to put the best with the best in a display involving this envelope. Thanks and MarbleāOn!!
