MrsMopar Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 It's rather blah here today, maybe seeing some flames would warm it up a little bit. Anyone care to share some pictures? Thanx bunches and have a great day! :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Felicia, I'll help you out, but it has to be later. I've got the grandson here. he goes home tomorrow and I'll have time to do some pics of CAC flames and Alley flames for you. Edna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thank you Edna. I recalled something about Alley flames but not CAC. I "think" I might have one or two but not sure. If I can get a picture, I will post it. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Here are the flame-ish looking ones: :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 well just snapped a few but my SLAG flame is just wild . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Nice! this one is flame-ish. I think she's a Champ. (sliding her in before she's fully eclipsed ;-) (click to enlarge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Mmuehlba...fantastic! That sure is a wild blue one. That's also the first I've heard the term slag-flame. Steph, Champ? Did they have flame-ish ones too? Thanx for showing these...I don't think the 2nd one in my picture could be one after seeing what's been posted so far but the other..hmmm, maybe? :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I still have the grandson here. Haven't had a chance to take pics of marbles. Others have posted some really good ones so I may beg out of the job. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTAndrea Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Here's a couple Alleys: Here are some that are most likely Alleys and/or Ravenswoods: Can't remember what company people thought made this but it has aventurine: Here are a couple CACs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glangley Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Here are some Vacor Flames, not what you were expecting but hey... you did say flames! lol And I think these are bigger Vacor Flames, *On the right side of pic*, although they do not have a single vane inside. God Bless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 VTAndrea, thank you. And, hey, on those Ravenswood and/or Alley ones, the first and last ones, are those on transparent bases? They make me back-track and think maybe my second one might be one after all.(?) True Gary, and those are good examples to show the difference in what are known as Vacor flames, as well as show the similarity to a banana cat's eye, thank you. So we have CAC, Alley, Slag-flames, Ravenswood, Champion and the Vacors. Anything else? Anyone else? Any in my favourite color purple? lol I always enjoy looking at marble pictures. Thanx again everyone and have a blessed weekend! :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I never thought of Peltier slags -- like the "wild blue one" -- as flames. Thanks for the new perspective on a type of marble I'm very fond of, and have quite a few of, as a result. My small flame collection has just increased a hundred-fold!Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMopar Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Well, that's another new one for me, Euro-flames...too kewl! Thank you ziggyzora, those are amazing! Marblemiser, thank you they are beautiful! The one in the middle even captures the coloring and firey look, awesome! Have a great weekend! :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Some clarification. Those Vacor de Mexico "flames" are actually cat's-eyes of the banana variety at least the first picture noted in this thread. They did actually call them Flamas and they are from the 1980s. Re. Ravenswood Flames. Far and few between! In the over 30,000 that I've had th occasion to go through from the 1987 find in WV I found only a couple that I felt convinced enough to actually sell as Ravenswood Flames. Even in the Ravenswood marbles I've seen from other sources that are unlike the 1987 find there's not all that much to credit the marbles with flame-like action. You've just got to love them for other reasons! Oh, and those Flamas had an irridescence(sp?) to them. David Chamberlain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Bill,nice pictures of Mr. Big. But it is still much more eye popping in hand,and with 25-30 points. You have your work ahead of you to ever find one better. Mellow Yellow,with a new home,was also a top of the Alley line. As you know it is only going to get more difficult and require more cash.
