CAC in my opinion, Nice turkey head, Not a flame, more points needed in line at least. Five or more is the accepted flame thing by most collectors. Marble—On—nice marble!
-
Great ones Ron, If they only grew on trees--love that first one. If it was A gooseberry I would be out picking them more--from the plant of course. Marble--On!! Marble--On!!
-
I love it my friend, Thanks for sharing it. No bad marbles!!
-
Well said Ron, always on the hunt am I. A driving force for sure. Collect--On!!
-
Thanks for the reference Nantucketdink. Where do I find one? Marble--On!!
-
I agree on the Vacor, it could be an early Van Gogh. Nice bright colors on this one. Thanks for the correction, I though that it looked like the Parrot that you posted yesterday---it was. Marble--On!!
-
I like the term Dave and I see it too.(my wife collects seashells) Marble--On!!
-
Thanks for the info Dave. I have seen this stuff while out rummaging. Now I know what I am looking at. I really like the glaze and the makers mark is killer. I had always thought that is was more contemporary. Thanks again, I will get me some.

Atmosperes were hand-gathered Chad. I do believe that they were run on rollers after the gathering process. The sizes all add up to that. Atmosperes vary in size because of the process of the gather. Good topic for another day perhaps. I believe what I see, and call them like I see them. This one excites me. Great marble!

Was helping a nice lady ID her marbles and saw this neat cateye

The image of the first one is hard to make out my friend. This one sold earlier this week on ebay, could it be the same maker? https://www.ebay.com/itm/275103000229?hash=item400d6aa6a5:g:JKAAAOSwRJth3HlB Your second one is what I would consider a foriegn made very nice desirable Cat---very nice. I say this because the transparent glass on my PC seems to have a tint to it. At first I though it was a Vitro Cosmic Rainbow---a very cool marble that you have, or may have, there. Marble--On!! -
I am not getting an Akro feel on this one Fire. Maybe MK or Vitro. Not a pelt. Marble--On!!
-
This one may be a Vacor Atmospere, style #48 imho. Marble--On!!
-
I agree, not CAC--a WVS, which I have little knowledge of.
-
You should be able to find this stuff where you are. In the USA it is called Vaseline or uranium glass. Just take a black light with you when you are out and about---it really--really lights up. I love it in all forms. The marble is an Akro Agate ” Cherry-Aide” at 1”. Glow On—this is my best.
-
I love this one. It is an Akro Agate piece and it explains my heritage quite well. Glow on!! one more coming!!
-
I know that you like the glow Mojo, so do I. Regardless, it is hard to beat “Cadillac electric time” for glow. That brings back memories of my 2002 Caddy STS, the first car with magnetic ride control. Those Northstar engines were a great thing---never stand still, just jump on it and go, all two tons of it! Glow on!!—more are coming.
-
At first I thought that this may be a Veiligglas marble. Now I am thinking that it may be one of those pesky Alley’s, you know, the ones that were often thought of as CAC a few, few years back. You gotta like them!! Tell me what you think---5/8”. Marble—On!!
-
Not too shabby Chad, top notch ox in that one.
-
Is that gold metallic? Killer marble Ric.
-
That is a very nice wet looking Parrot Jeremy.
-
Great find newbie!!
-
OH, Tuff one buddy, Either Akro or CAC imho. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

I will just be honest on this one Fire. If it is a Pelt MCS- I have never seen one like it color wise. The blue is not what I would consider to be common in a pelt of this nature. I could not ID this one as anything else however. (vitro???) I just call them like I see them on my PC. This one is worth a bump up and more opinions. I will usually get a retort---I love em!! Marble--On!!
-
I will post another today, I feel like I have been slacking on the images for posts lately. I do not even know what to call this one. I will leave it up to the Pelt collector folks to assign a name. Just a hair or two over 5/8”, no AV just pocket wear. Marble—On!!
