Okiemarble Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Captured it in a cow pen today............ any insight? It's a 5/8ths mostly clear with one end green, some bubles, has white whisps on the top layer. ( the darker spots just need to be cleaned off ) When you shine the light through it , it will shine through green or clear depending on the turn of the marble.. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMopar Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hey Okie...have you looked at it with a black light? It just seems like it would glow. Maybe it's just the coloring. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMopar Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I misread the Vienna dates but it was the early 1930's and changed locations/names through the years. Steph has a great timeline posted in her Study Hall http://marbleconnection.invisionzone.com/i...ic=8447&hl= Hope this helps :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Yes, they moved from Vienna to Parkersburg in 1945. Okie, yours might be a conqueror variant, introduced during WWII. Straddling the time of the move IIUC. So I think it could be from either site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
