  1. I spent some time over the weekend looking through the archives, pics, and tutorials and have a better understanding of what you're saying. It's less of a situation of "I want to call it an Ace because that sounds cooler" and more of a "Alan gave me the appreciation for marbles, and now I always want go to his page for identifications" and feel the need to be stubborn about it. Still learning and I do care.
  2. Vitro Superiors are hard to find!
  3. That's what I was going by as well Winnie ...
  4. I would LOVE to go. Unfortunately, I keep receiving bills in the mail dang it. I wish they would stop Someday I'll retire, can't wait.
  5. I don't think there is an actual yellow in this marble, it looks to me like its a deep orange or red, but thin over the opaque white, which is making it appear yellow if that makes sense. I looked and looked at several different ketchup and mustards, and as much as I want it to be one, I don't think it is. I'm having a hard time distinguishing ribbons, but only because I'm not too familiar with Pelt construction. A bloodie? I'll start looking those up And do you have a name for it MC Marbles?
  6. I'm sorry, I should have included that in the original photos and the size : 7/8"
  7. Oh! wow, that is not what I was looking for lol, I guess I figured it was more of a thin smeared ink. That is really cool, and literally looks like ink. Thanks migbar
  8. I was looking around trying to find another Pelt similar to the one above, no luck ann, is this close to what you described above?
  9. I have reservations for what looks like an opaque white running alongside the light blue. Lollol! about the cornflower It's pretty darn close. These pics are the best I could do to capture the wispy white. I've not seen another of these, just a strange marble that I'm trying to place.
  10. This is a strange one, it looks like technically it qualifies as a Popeye, two colors and wispy white, but I don't know, what do you guys think?
  11. Wow! That is beautiful, so much aventurine.
  12. Deep blue and black , I like this combo I haven't seen very many like it
  13. Hey! Nice variety on those Akro shooters! My first favorite I collected is at the 5 o'clock position, the cobalt with whispy white on the translucent base. Love those.
  14. Whoop! I hadn't even considered the spelling of it. It sounds like an Inkie is a blue or black striping on a white base? So is Alley then the only maker that called one of their marbles an Inkie, and the others are collector-named? Yes, I would love to see pics.
  15. So, is "Inky" an actual title of a marble, or is it just a description, an adjective? and does it only apply to the dark bluish color, like india ink? Or only to a certain brand of marble? Is this considered an Inky? I've looked around a little, but haven't found anything really on Inky.
  16. Browns, Reds and a white cork with a greenish underbelly, which is a little hard to capture in a photo. On an amber bubbly base.
  17. Hmm, I'm not certain that's a limeade, I've always pictured limeades with the yellowish lemonade looking base with green and wispy white running through it? It looks like your's fits Alan's definition though: "Ade" corkscrews are identified by their base glass of translucent off-white mixed with wispy opaque white. I could be wrong there, hopefully someone who is more knowledgable with names/definitions will chime in here.
  18. My dad won these in a carnival 50 years ago = I just made this yesterday
  19. Very curious. Seems like a lot of extra work and a lot of trouble. They are beautiful, but it's seems so wrong.
