Really--- Five stacked? Opposing tips do not count? ( I count them) Marble--On!!

Size always matters--that being said, pattern and colors. CAC did a lot of batch glass--or glass from scratch from a recipe. This keeps the colors more true to the maker. They may have used some cullet--or glass purchased from other glass makers to use in the furnace but not too much. Colors and patterns always tip me off. Marble--On!!

Stephen Bahr videos---“Alley Agate Identification and Nicknames”. There at least two of the vids. Marble--On!!

I see what bothers you, the white/lighter stuff in the large ground pontil. It does seem a little odd. If were polishing compound it would be easily removed with a wet toothbrush. The marble is a nice one and it appears to me to have an original surface. More opinions are needed and always welcomed. Marble—On!!

Yes--a WVS--no jabo here imho. The maker? More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

Moonies reveal themselves when back-lit. The best need no backlighting and glow in hand under sunlight. Simple marbles--but not always an easy ID.

Thanks Cheese, Here is another Lady Tator--I think. Marble--On!!

I recieved this one in a trade with a good marble collecting friend. I have done a fair amount of research but I still suck at WVS ID. The base is quite clear and it does show some moderate opal. This one is 5/8" Regardless of what it is---it is a great one! Marble--On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Yes it is--nice find!! Marble--On!! -
I agree with Chad--these are late marbles with an iridescent finish applied/sprayed to the outside of them. Many companies produce these for the crafter market. They are cool to look at—just not “Moonies” from the distant past. Marble—On!!
