chucks_mibs Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Looks like the base glass is Opalescent and the cork look Dark reddish/Brown (Maybe Wine colored)....I hope it looks like the ones you already have......In any case, you cant go wrong for $2.11 delivered to your front door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hard to tell from the pics but might be a purple cork on a white /opalescent base which can sometimes appear to have a bit of blue. Like the one in my sig (although not a cork obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 And, a multitwist, so that adds to its 'value', IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 well I allready got way more out of this marble the more I think about it it most likley is a purple and that is why there is some ? blue a bleed comming threw the base . I looked and have one almost like it and there is a shadow of blue under the white off the purple cork ,at least this one comming is nicer if the condition is good but all I can say is I have allready enjoyed my big investment .

chucks_mibs Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Nice score Mike....looks like a really cool mib....We are all anxiously waiting to see..... well I allready got way more out of this marble the more I think about it it most likley is a purple and that is why there is some ? PS-When Red goes "submerged" into Opalescent (Blue) based glass....It gives off a Purple coloring Edit is in Red writing... (I meant to say Blue opalescent glass) Edited March 5, 2013 by chucks_mibs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Hi all well for sure I have got my moneys worth on this marble a lot of attention and even did what I do not like to do look at with a back light but that answered a lot it is a clear base glass with a very tight wrapped whispey white , and I will call it brown but even in hand I would have to put a ? behind it , but will leave it next to my bigger browns , The brown's are a few I left out of a box after I refilled it .
