glangley Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Looks like I can see some striations on the top left, so I'd say oxblood. Top right is not, and bottom is a pretty oxblood. God Bless! Hopefully I spotted the not! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMopar Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm with these guys..top right..is NOT! LOL Kewl game..this was fun. Thanx. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemansion Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 to the answers: kind of a trick question cause I said which ONE is not oxblood when actually 2 are not oxblood. Right, the top right one is not oxblood and that is how I was originally taught how to determine if I had oxblood or not - take a pen light and shine it into the glass - if you can see into it - its not oxblood...but the best way is to get an oxblood in your hand and then compare - its hard to explain, even with photos. Also the silver oxblood is right - and the top left is not oxblood - it is just a plain opaque red glass. There are a few more on my blog to check out for fun - and you can leave comments there too if you wish - I saw the post here about "who used oxblood" which is great information too....

MrsMopar Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Kewl! Trick question...lol Sorry I cannot go to your blog..it's on Etsy, which is one of the websites that bounces me offline but I surely will try to remember to look at it when I go to the library. Oxblood is such a fun and yet strange creature and you're right, you definitely have to experience the look of it in the various marbles. Thanx and have a great day! :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMopar Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 As discussed in another thread, various makers had their 'form/type' of oxblood. I, personally, believe the bottom is an oxblood. Have a great day! :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great day! :-) Felicia Right - problem being when I was newbie - I was sold the other 2 as Akro "Oxbloods" and bought them on that premise - until I learned better - which is what I believe Steph is trying to protect from happening to future new collectors.....all I can say to that is "good luck"!
