This is a WVS my marble collecting friend--very hard to ID. Someone may stick their neck out and give one—I hope so. Marble—On!!

It is a “Pangolin” with its tail curled.😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=7bxmQgr3X1Q Marble—On!!

Welcome treetiger! Marble--On!!

I agree--a very nice looking marble they would make. These always caught my eye--I always passed--dang!! Marble--On!!

Just a few dead mint Pelts--some may call them "Wet Mint". It is hard to find any marble wet mint--I used to be quite fussy with marbles using a X30 lupe---oh well--I should go back and check my rejects-----My eyes tell me so--ouch! Going from a glass collector to a marble collector will tell the tale🙈. Marble--On!!

I guess that you love Pelts Chad—that heart one is very cool— Marble—On!!

This is a tuff one Brock--but worth a bump up! Marble--On!!

This one is a Vitro imho--I do not see the "Opal". Marble--On!!

I am not sure either--nice marble!! Marble-On!!

I do not see the "Opal". It may be an Akro--or a Vitro--imho-- Marble--On!!

Akro X2-- Marble--On!!

Pelt x2--- Marble--On!!

Nice Akro imho. Marble--On!!

Gladys seems to think that her marble collecting venture is in the past and she is moving on towards retirement—what better way to retire than collecting marbles and sharing her knowledge? This is just an acknowledgement of Gladys’s accomplishments on this board. She has always had the very best Master Made Marbles that I have seen---ever!!! I urge you Gladys to not shut down but continue to share what you have—you are loved here—even by the babies like me--- I was looking for this #10 box for many years Gladys-I have purchased two this year—they are still out there. Marble—On!!

Here are some Master Glass Cat's-Eye marbles just for comparison. Marble—On!!

Regardless of the ID on this one--this is a Pelt collectors marble-- The orange in this one "stumpifies" me. I am guessing that the size is 5/8". Nice marble--not very common imho. Marble--On!!

Well--this one is a WVS for sure-- I am not getting any CAC vibes here. It would be a weird Alley in my experience-- More opinions are needed for sure. Marble--On!!

I want to thank you Gladys! You have some great mibs and you have shared as much as any of us here. I wish you great luck in the future--If I had ten grand laying around I would take you up on your offer. Retirement is not as scary as it sounds--it did sound scary to me but I have eleven years under my belt now---it is just great. I suggest keeping your best marbles and to keep on coming back. As always--I wish you the best! Marble--On my friend💞.

X2! Marble--On!!

Or maybe some weird cats----Master made some real funky Cats Eyes. Marble--On!!

I just search marbles--I want to see them all-- Marble--On!!

My first reaction was Akro--It is a CAC imho regardless of the included white. Marble--On!!

Hello Rairai78, The big fold mark in your marble happened when the glass glob was cut and dropped onto the rollers. Either the glass was not hot enough or the rollers were not heated up yet, probably at the start of a run. The glass was not able to be properly formed into a sphere. Larger marbles such as yours seen to suffer more from this dilemma. I posted a link to a machine making marbles below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAeLT-9Bq6Q Marble—On!!

Nice link--I still stand my ground. Vacor Atmospheres are all clear based--I will not be convinced otherwise. You may have some that bled blue into the matrix, anything can happen with machine made marbles. The Atmos were hand gathered and put onto to rollers--just mho. I will back up on some of my past posts--some of them do include SPARKLE. I thought they were bubbles until recently. The white and gold ones and a few others do include some AV. I get my info from OG nets--what better way? Marble--On!!

This one is a WVS----my first thought was Alley. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
