What is the dark color, black or purple?

thanks.

"Might be" a newer marble. Could you show more pics of the poles?

thanks

Bottom right in the box, opaque or transparent?

thanks

I'd say polished.

thanks

Size is 1 1/8". No idea of age. I have had it for about 15 years. Some kind of crude single pontil.

fish hooks

thanks

Oh my, those ones we "used" to have...................

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but..................

Some of examples from Akro:

thanks

thanks

Thank you Ann.

The second marble is a good example of what I was talking about. Try to imagine that marble without the yellow "skin" and you have one very close to your first marble.

thanks

Naked (no skin) onionskin with mica(?)

thanks

Unless they were dug I doubt very much they were sold by the company that advertised "The Most Perfectly Formed Marbles"

I would have to agree.

Now I can't say which company made them, but whoever did, they "appear" to be dug marbles.

thanks

thanks

thanks

3/4"? Some blue swirls and bubbles inside? Glowing orange-ish moonie base? Christensen Agate?

thanks

Sorry Galen: you just leave yourself so wide open. lol

Looks like a melted pontil from here, so I would say made in Ohio. To me, it's a very pretty mib. I call this type a snowflake (don't know if anyone else does). What size is it?

How do you get that backlight effect?

thanks.

Size is 13/16". Best I can tell, the marble is 11/16 or 23/32". It's an onionskin and slightly shrunken on one side. I have not taken it out, did not want to break the tines(if that's what they are called). No maker's mark. Of course, I don't know if it is original or not.

thanks

Size is 7/8".

Yellow base glass with a white "cloud" inside. Melted pontil.

thanks

Most excellent mibs Winnie. Thanks for sharing.

thanks

Where does it say torched anywhere in this description Ronnie?

The marble also has a streak of orange in it but I think it may be from the torch.

Maybe this is what he is referring to?

thanks

Gnome; I believe the one you are showing is an Akro Carnelian. A Cornelian was Akro's attempt to copy M.F.C.'s American Cornelia (aka brick).

thanks

sorry, posting at the same time as Steph.

Akro Agate Cornelian

Opaque and 13/16"

thanks
