marblemansion Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 green and black ones look like mega marbles newest run of "camouflage" they are black and green with that same familiar Vacor pattern. there is definitely some neat stuff in there too - is that a lutz?

lstmmrbls Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Definitely not mega but I know the ones you are talking about, Not a Lutz but a blue base banded transparent. There was a great variation thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE MARBLES Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Galen what's that shooter size yellow base with black in the middle of the first pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Nice melted pontil. I have a few colored like that. Definitely not common though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Good to know Brian, There is even a little of what looks like Ox in it.(see pic) I was questioning whether it was even a melted pontil because the cutoff looked a bit like a reject machine made twist but the soot around the cutoff convinced me. Scott, I am not positive which one you mean but it may be a Blackie. There were several, some black and some purple middle bands. Also found some of these what I guess are Vacors Black based mibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I LOVE MARBLES Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Galen........may be am wrong but think Brian is talking about the 4th marble from the left top row in this pic. The marble i asked about is in the other big pic red/black cork bottom of pic left of that count 4 marbles up. Will agree the marbles in post #4 are new. Do not see a pontil on the marble in post #12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akronmarbles Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Scott is correct about the example that I was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Here is cut off on the one I was talking about. I guess I haven't had enough coffee cause I still can't figure out which marble you mean Scott. But when pulling out the corks to try and figure it out I found the best(Pattern,not condition) Pelt broken cork I have ever had. It is the one on the left. One seam is a bit off but the other seam is a near perfect match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Man, the closer I look the more it is now appearing as a melted pontil. It wraps like a handgather and the glass really looks like some of Leightons, here are some more pics. Brian, I will bring it to Canton in August.
