This mib hangs out with a blended Marble King, same colors, and straight wide seams.

I thought these were more Master-y.  If I get a solid ID, I won't have to take it with me to the marble show.

Thanks!

Oh, and just a titch shy of 5/8"

I'm slowly getting my pile sorted out, but I've got lots of wvs's and weirdos left.

This one stood out because of the light purple tint in the base glass.

Sorrry I can't figure out any seams

If that's a pontil, Id guess it's transitional.  I have a similar one that appears in an eBay lot.  Wider ribbon, but similar.

The verdict so far is Japanese.

I'll take it with me to the Maine show.

I have a pile of dug Jacksons.  Similar pattern to the swirl, similar base glass, only one glows in the UV.  That is only a bone, sorry.  I'll scour my wvs pile and see if I can compare.

My limited research suggests Akro or Vitro.

I keep finding similar marbles in my pile.  I think THIS pair is actually twins.

5/8, swirly opalescent base.

I won't take this guy to Maine with me, then.  Only the deep mysteries.  Thanks!

Let me know if this pelt has a well accepted name, please ?thanks In advance.

Muted colors (gray-green): ✔️ 

Fine pole-pole vanes: ✔️ 

TV screen window ( shown with and without flash): ✔️ 

Hot UV reactive: ✔️ 

11/16": ✔️ 

Haven't heard anything about UV reactive glass being used in Master Marbles, but there's a lot of what I don't know.

This has been my favorite mib since last night when it stood out from the rest of the pile.

Thanks for telling me its story.

It really is a nice piece. I have to wait until summer before I can put it, along with all my marbles, in the marble run set-up that the nieces and nephews build every time we get together...

Frosty finish makes me think Vacor/Mega marbles, but the swirls look a little more sophisticated.  Good mystery, I'm following for more!

A lovely marble.  

23/32".

I'm not attached to a maker identity.  It was advertised as Christensen. But I have seen/heard that they didn't make red slags.  I knew this when I bought the mib.

That concern aside, I love this specimen.  I can't pick one from another, but it's one of my favorites.

Just curious what we know, and what is merely legend.

Thanks for looking!

This 'un is 19/32".

Base glass is clear. Gray-ish swirl with a little lavender in it.

Strong UV reaction.

Thanks for looking!

I found a couple in my pile that stood out as I prepare for a marble con.

This little guy is 11/16".

no UV reaction.

Green base with white and light purple/pink swirl.

Thanks!
