Sorry, I was overcome with the tree reflections Cheese. I overlooked the size. I agree--Champ or Jabo? Marble--On!!
-
Nice marble--Blue and white rocks! Marble--On!!
-
The first image, on the upper left of the glower shows what may be "Feathering" in the base glass. I would not count out Peltier here. It could just be a reflection--oh well--I just felt like saying something--. Marble--On!!
-
We all do--LOL. Marble--On!!
-
Me too, Glas Murmeln? What is the size? Marble--On!!

Just because of the eyes--I would call the OP a White "Flintie". White ones are a hard find in my experience. The moonies/moons that I am familiar with are more of a swirl with hard to find cut marks, they glow "Opal" in hand in almost any sunlight. Just my humble opinion. I appreciate them all. A humble but beautiful marble! Love em! Marble--On!!

I wonder too. I think that you did a great job of sorting these. I actually had to flip the image to get a better idea. I have shared it below. I do not see any Vacor in this bunch. Some may be domestic others may be foreign. MarbleāOn!!
-
In my mind and in my house, I call these "Woodies". One is opaque and one has a transparent base. I do not know if they meet the mark but they are mine and I will call them what I want to. Marble--On!!

Goofy--you mean goofy as opposed to collecting marbles? I have collected "Curtain tie backs" for years. I wish that I could show you the whole image, I keep my passwords posted on it. I put them on an old rotted 3x3 mouse chewed window frame that I put a cork background on. Very cool little things--I have a bunch of them. (who does not love a Meadowlark ?) The car is a "Dinky" Made in England--I could care less. It was my first real drivable car. I got it from my older bro for $15--just what he payed for it--pretty cool. The post card is more accurate color wise. I had to stop and think about weird for awhile. We all collect weird stuff. Marble--On!!

Respectākeep it going all. I just love this place. Marble-on!!
-
Love it--keep them comin Joe. Marble--On!!

I believe that "Twisters" are still being made today. If you find a good net full--$6.50 would be my limit on the Mega nets. I am a bottom feeder--enough said. Marble--On!!
-
I see two seams. I checked out the listing for a better opinion for you. The seller appears to have the rest of the marbles for sale right on the money. I can agree with CAC on this one, it is either a weak CAC "Striped Transparent" or a CAC "Striped Swirl". Not a slag imho. Of course both are rare and for that priceāI would have to see it in hand. Nuff said. MarbleāOn!!
-
A weak one for sure. This reminds me of one that my Pa cut out of the yard for Christmas--why was I the only one that said it smelled like cat pee. A spruce of some sort--it did not last past the 26th. Still a nice marble and I am sure that it smells like glass (I can smell glass, especially Akro glass) Marble--On!!
-
It was bound to happen--Of course I never really did "get it". Just another collector caught in the swamp of information. Marble--On!!
-
Actually --in my mind, the only thing that I have called you is a "most welcome addition" to the MarbleConnection. Marble--On!!
-
The last two images point me towards Master. Nice overhead shot of the cutlines. Masters will display a 2/3-1/3 construction often enough for me to be convinced of a trait. That being said--I am wearing sunglasses as I post (dilated from an eye appointment) It may be a Vitro. Marble--on!!
-
Not an Atmosphere--They are around one inch (or bigger in the more rare versions). Marble--On!!
-
The term "Amorphous glob" comes to mind on the third one. ( what a great term) The spelling may be incorrect. I have seen the description beforeāI believe that it was in Stephs Study Hall (maybe not) describing a Vitro. Maybe @Steph can help. MarbleāOn!!
-
I can agree with Alley here. Your images are close to the ones that I take outside. Trees overhead--reflecting, A gray picnic table? I need to get a reflector for outside shots--next on the list. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
X3--- Marble--On!!
-
Great call Steph! Fire-- When Steph steps out like this--you have to appreciate it. I think that yours is the same--great marble!! Marble--On!!
-
Nice marble--no oxblood though. Marble--On!!
-
Agreed. I could never find a name for the Vacor version of this one. Marble--On!!
