  1. I think that you are right on. The spot I do not really see as a detriment here. Did you know that Marble companies purchased “cullet”(broken unused glass) from the same company that made "Ponds Cold Cream Jars? I just love a good “Opal” marble. Perhaps @Alan can give us some more depth here on the opal cullet. Marble—On!!

    PPP?

    These appear to have a "Sprayed"on metallic finish. These are not Pelts--nuf said. MK and Vitro both did this. @Ric and @Melissa may have more to say here. I do not think that these are Vacor for whatever reason. Marble--On!!
  3. Vitro yes! "Phantom" sounds right to me but lets check in with @Ric an @Melissa for a final eval. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  4. Hmm the white is quite intense here--I wonder? More opinions are needed. @Melissa? Marble--On!!
  5. Nice images --this one is a Jabo--Classic imho. Great share! Marble--On!!
  6. Not quite a Jorkscrew but very nice imho. Marble--On!!
  7. Nice Akro silver OX! Marble--On!!
  8. Nice marble Fire with out any bonus included. These do often show up with Ox involved though. I wonder why? Marble--On!!
  9. Thanks @Ric, (I think—I just went on a torrent--oh well this is just me) A slag is a single stream marble meaning there was one stream of glass, one white and one transparent coming out of the Kiln/Machine to complete a glob of glass that was transformed into the cute little orb😁 that we all enjoy today. In the older slags this meant one pot containing two colors—one white, one transparent color. They were both mixed (no double dipping here—lol). Glasses do not mix color wise—they just get along with each other sometimes. (Many times, it does not get along and that is why we see so many “experimental” types that were dug. Some are very cool to collect but never meant for general sales) The “Wire Pulls” are a different animal and I truly believe that they had an injection process that revealed the one continuous line that formed the “Wire Pull”, so two tanks in a two-colored marble. This could not have been achieved in any furnace without the addition of another tank of glass feeding the final marble imho. The Kiln was the machine, not the rollers or the cut knives. It was stationary and operated with gravity and intense heat. Generally, the “machine” in the Machine-made world had multiple colors involved—all from the same heat source and this is where it becomes complicated. I look Forward to @Alan chiming in here, he has a wealth of knowledge. Marble—On!!
  10. I love coins as well--not so many in my collection though. Nice finds though. Collect--on!!
  11. There you go again--great images. Who needs a loupe with your images? Nice job--great marble! Marble--On!!
  12. We actually have a member called @YasudaCollector he and his brother are into these for sure. I love the stuff that they share here. Marble--On!!
  13. Welcome FirelakeLB to “TheMarbleConnection”. You must edit your images a tad more--crop them and improve the clarity. This might be one to look at if we can see it in a different perspective. Marble—On!!
  14. I used to spend hours with my wife sorting marbles. Excited? I know what you mean. Marble--On!!
  15. X2--nice one--just a bit of nasty. Marble--On!!
  16. I agree here. Marble--On!!
  17. OK Al, slow down--lol--it is a nice one and it is a Vitro. Marble--On!!
  18. They would be considered as slags( amber--nice dark amber)-One base color--transparent amber and white included. I believe that these may be from the good ole UK. Nice marbles!! A great share--keep them coming. Marble--On!!
  19. Thanks for this. I never met Bill Tow but he is associated with some great CAC ID and many very nice CAC marbles as well. What you must do is get a handle on your images. Crop them tight and give us some nice clear images. Natural sunlight is the very best. I would just venture a guess at what you posted here. —It does look like a CAC like you described but few here have seen one like this, they are very rare. Marble—On!!
  20. Yep! a pretty cool looking corkscrew. Marble--On!!
  21. The last images show a Peltier Marble--nice one. @Fire1981 may have an opinion here. Size always matters in marble ID. Marble--On!!
  22. So do I--great marble! Great colors as well! Marble--On!!
