Nice Master! Marble--On!
-
Thanks all. It was sold as an Akro but I did not purchase it as such😁. I agree with everyone on this one. It is a cool marble. Marble--On!
-
Yes- Master Glass made the very worst looking cats in the world ever---imho😁. I still like them--why do I have any? Marble--On!!
-
Doing an Art? It does not get much better--LOL "Sweet Pea" makes sense--that was Popeyes little dude--who knows where he came from?? Marble--On!!
-
Here is a fun one that measures at 15/16”(with a caliper Ric-). I know what it was sold as---doubt-full me-. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble-On!!

You may have one there--the bottom left is a MK imho, the bottom right looks crappy enough to be a Master Glass cat Please do not take off and run with the "Potato Chips" mention. Like @wvrons says, one mention of a name on the interweb and a name takes off. Master Glass cateyes are some of the worst ever made by anyone in the entire world--I like an underdog but none of them deserve a name or any notoriety. They are collected by me because they are the worst--but I like them just the same--kindof like a beat up "german handmade"--they all deserve a place. Marble--On!!

Great images! I suck at WVS ID's but here goes--Alley Agate-imho All opinions are needed here--thanks-- Marble--On!!

Thanks cheese-great reply and images as well. Marvle--On!!

OK--so 5/8"? Nice Master "Sunburst" imho. I appreciate all opinions and will learn from them all. Marble-On!!
-
Yep! Size always matters. That is a nice looking marble. Marble--On!!
-
They are great looking marbles--enough said. Marble--On!!
-
For sure, they are not all Pelts, Akro, CAC's or others. Collect what catches your eye--I do-- Marble--On!!
-
Nice marble! No clue on location made however. Marble--On!!

😄😀🤪👍😁

I can see the AV and I can see what you are thinking as well. Jabo contracts were not all at 3/4" but I am guessing that this is the size of this marble--maybe a bit smaller. Not all Jabo cotracts were swirls either, some were very nice "patches". I think that you have one here. Marble--On!!

Ooooh--nice one! Marble--On!!
-
This one may be a Vacor cat. The Vacors come in a multitude of color combos. It does not look like an asian made to me. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
-
It is a pee-wee, it is a Pelt. Peewees act different just like the larger/really big ones do. If it were mine--I would have a hard time not calling it a "Rebel" peewee. Nice marble regardless--- I appreciate all opinions. Marble--on!!

That big White on Black corkscrew really gets my eye! Nice marble there--all are nice! Marble--on!! -
AkroX2. Marble--On!!

Nice Vacor, The yellow is just killer. Marble--on!!
-
Nice marble--This one looks orange to me. If it is orange--very nice--if it is red----stiil very nice--- Well, these red corks like this were marketed as "Cardinal Reds" vs the more usual Red slags that were marked under the the same name--in the same box of 25. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

Hey Ric, I have a few bags of Master Glass "Cat's Eye" The "Potato Chip" is included. These bags are so cloudy that it is hard to tell--I have a very bright light. I am going for some "Ruffles" right now---my wife calls them "gods food". I do not disagree😁. Marble--On!!

OK, I quoted myself again. Welcome to the world that I live in---- I just hate polished machine made marbles---just hate them---Really hate them----really, really, really---hate them. This one--- in my very humble opinion is a polished Peltier “Superman”. It sucks to see it, but I see nothing about this marble that says Vacor. I always appreciate all opinions but I must take a stand on this one. Polished machine marbles just have no place in my world--they should be sent to the sun and forgotton! OK, I am over it for now.Thanks for reading🙈. Marble—On!!

I will stick to the drop through templates Ric and add a bit if necessary---not---just not. I own too many measuring devices—the template works for me—quick and easy---close enough in my world. I have used a board stretcher though. Marble—On!!
