Champion IMO

Do you think they resemble this? I was going to message you lol but we can't send photos without a link via messaging .. 

I was reading a prior conversation you had about your "Red Cloud" & the "Hot To make" runs... Which made me look closer at these

They are Transparent Glass with mostly opaque Swirls of all sorts of colors (I am horrible at taking photos so excuse that lack of luster and ability to get super close in detail) 

I don't have my calipers atm so sizing is difficult (when I find them I'll edit) 

They are insanely beautiful in person these photos really don't do them justice... 

thanks for all your help Marble Comrades ☺️🙃

They look like Bumbles but the base is black with the yellow as an accent patch & (there is no real consistency in sizing of the patches) 

I can't find my Calipers 😕 to size anything ATM unfortunately

My thought is Vacor? 🤷🏻‍♀️ WDYT? 

Great information, though I am not Camera Savvy.. I will be looking to find better lighting. I am horrific at taking photos currently all this backlit, close up, looks like a perfect black background stuff really throws me for a loop. ... I may read this a few times lol before my brain actually absorbs all this good information 🫣🙃☺️

Take them ty o The Boys and Girls Club .

Good idea, I'll have to look into if they accept small items like that (for choking hazard reasons).. my husband went to a boys and girls club most of his childhood thanks for the idea

I buy with goals in mind.  Otherwise - its an accumulation, not a collection.  That way I rarely end up with "extras". 

Love that. I am still learning what I like. (I have a lot of estate auctions near me, so almost everything aside two things I've purchased came from "semi blind auctions) ... I have definitely ended up with a lot of certain marbles. I am passing a lot down to my children for their own "collections" but I still have an accumulation ....

This mib is just beautiful! I love how the oxblood actually dives into the marble in a lot of places. There are so many layers to it. If anyone knows which run it came from it would be awesome! Thanks for looking! 

Both pics are the same mib with different levels of backlighting.  

I would love to know how you capture such beautiful backlit photos ... 🤩

What does everyone do when they have excessive amounts of certain marbles? 

Keep them? Sell them? Trade them? Give them away?

It looks like a double ingot "butt" still it's funny  .......  

That would actually make a lot of sense because it's almost like two separate marbles for sure. 🙃🫣 thanks Chad hehe

No oxblood, oxblood is usually quite opaque & on the surface but sometimes will dive in and out of the base glass.

 

                         An Akro silver oxblood w/ oxblood diving into & out of the base.

 

 

            

             

            

 

An Akro oxblood patch under regular light and backlit, note the oxblood is only on the surface of this one and quite opaque. The color looks much like dried blood thus the name "oxblood"

Thank you for this, very helpful. What color would you call that red then....

Would these be oxblood @Chad G.

No ox

This is sort of what they look like now under bright light 

Is this red considered oxblood? 

It's very blue in person, any help with the maker would be awesome

Mk? 

It's so dark it's hard for me to see seems. Thank you for your assistance marble friends 😄

Thank you for helping me 😌🙏

Any help with identification is much appreciated:)

I've tried to download my profile pic but it keeps saying file to large and it was skipped. How do I make it smaller?

I used a photo editing application and made it smaller by resizing that way (are you doing it from phone or computer?)
