Steph Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Anyone have any pix of Master Cloudys they would care to share? By Cloudy I mean the single colored translucent version. Not the patch which is sometimes called a Cloudy. I had a bunch at one time. Got them in a 1933 cigar box. The cigar box came from the Chicago world's fair and I bet the marbles did too. But I sold most or all of them before I knew what I had. I think I might have kept a few but I'm not sure were I put them. They either don't seem easy to come by, or maybe others don't recognize what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have these is white, green, red, lavender. You often find them in Century of Progress boxes. Once you see them, you understand that the colors are unique. I bought a bunch in Brimfield in May for next to nothing. I rarely put them up for sale because I feel that the market has not recognized their true value. I have white one up on eBay right now, #180673342560, but the images dont accurately represent the semi-opaqueness of hem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks Bob, Steve. . . I had red, white and blue. I can't remember if I had other colors. Oh no, PlanB. I got my hopes up. (is this a new problem with uploading pix?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 The lavender and green are quite unique and gorgeous. The white is really not anything to write home about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I found some auction pix I'd forgotten about. I had 'em buried in with some moss agate pix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanB Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Does a Master Cloudy need the patch, or can it be without as in an Akro Moonie? There are some of each in Steph's pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I believe the ones on the right side of the box are Meteors. Here's the whole list of styles from a 1933 flyer: The flyer that came from: . . Those "thumbnails" aren't working now, so click here for the larger versions: http://i119.photobuc...sterFlyer1a.jpg http://i119.photobuc...sterFlyer1b.jpg edit: look at the No. 2000 De Luxe assortment here. http://i119.photobuc...sterFlyer2a.jpg . It calls the bottom row of patches Meteors. (Might need to double click to get full size. p.s. a larger scan is available) p.p.s. Here's a larger version of the No. 2000 description. http://i119.photobuc...er2a_No2000.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Well, I just edited that post all over the place. Here's the cleaned up version: Cloudys are solid colors. The patches are Meteors. To the best of my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
