Are those Artichokes?? Very cool garden crop--I wonder if Wisconsin can grow them---I have some relatives of Artichokes in the garden. Thistles👀.

If you never saw an Eagle snatching a fish out out the water in northern Wisconsin--you might think that. Many moons ago I saw this within 100 feet, back when they were quite rare. The fish was struggling to get away--A nice Pike--around 30 inches. Eating fish laced with DDT is what almost killed them off. We used to ride our bikes through that crap when the city sprayed for skeeters🤢. Later that same day we checked out a Golded Eagle nest with hatchlings--very cool and rare. Eagles on!!! Turkeys are for the Table--LOL.

Just based on the fourth image I would call it an "Akro from the digs". Ric may be right though. An "Alley from the digs". Marble--On!!

Thanks for this great info Mojo--Fire vs flood---I was way out there😁. Marble--On!! -
I may have seen it without knowing it. I doubt that is displays as shown in this add. If it was a Marble King produced item--there would be some ID on the cover at the very least. (you know that "Berry Pink" would be all over the cover) Nice advertisement piece Ric! MNarble--On!!

If it was 3/4"--or .750--I would pay up at $35.--not a penny more. These are very nice to look at---and shine black light on! This is a nice marble--no doubt. Marble--On!!

There are few here that will quote a price----if these were mine, and I was a seller—I would start at $20 and hope for the best. Marble—On!!

As I recall---There was a man in Germany on the border with the Netherlands’ that made a wide variety of these. Sadley, his place burnt down never to be seen again. @Mojo will bring this story to life once again. I will post a few more here. Marble--On!! -
Look up Steely Torpedo on the Vacor site—very intense-I have never seen one. The OP are more than likely a version of the new age Vacor Meteor. Marble—On!!

I totally agree Ric--but I will give a nod to your old pal whenever I can remember. Marble--On!!

This one is just less than one inch—I think that is a “Wicked Owl”---just a killer marble with a very cool transparent colored base glass—what would you call this color?? Marble—On!!

Nice one Melissa, This is why the Vacors are commonly mistaken for Pelts. I agree-Vacor--almost a killer Pelt MCS in the wrong hands. Nice job!! Marble--On!!
