Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Sometimes marbles show up when you least expect it. Someone brought me this jarful which has a nice alley flame totally loaded with aventurine. A few nice pelts including the shooter Flaming Dragon there, and swirls galore. Talk about making my day. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Trying to get a zoom of the Alley flame with aventurine...(the large mib above the Akro lemonade ox) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Nice bunch! I have that large alley as well and the av seems to be just a little deeper and is difficult to photograph. Strong sun worked the best for me and still was not that great in a pic. Shines great in hand though. =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Alleynut Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 How about a blow up of the lime green yellow and orange?? Please DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yep. Thanks. I wonder who made these two? They are killer. And just look at all the orange glass everywhere. All those masters are orange! Did you spot two (Master) tiger eyes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 How about a blow up of the lime green yellow and orange?? Please DB. You got it! It came out a little blurry. I'll try again later for you as my battery is recharging at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Lets try this one...that's better. Just look at the metallic on the Rainbo on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Looks like several of the earliest (cleanest and brightest) Master Sunbursts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG_0771 (800x787).jpg MMMMM good enough!! Sweet Marble, the big Alley you took photos of are very tough to get a good visual on the AV, I have a few in hand they look great, super Av on most, also very soft glass, most are damaged a bit, nice bright flame pattern though, I'm just a flame pig, Dave B.

Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Willie's (marbledude) favorite marble is the Master Sunburst but he hasn't seen these yet. Here's a zoom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The flaming Dragon came out better for you in post #7 check it out. I have a few of those small cloisonné animals. But not the pig. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Here's more from those sunbursts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 And since this one hardly ever makes an appearance here is a better side of that Alley. For anyone who has never seen one of these, the AV follows the swirls very well and is heavily peppered throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Nice Masters! Not a huge Master guy but I do like the bright ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks, always glad to share. Does anyone know who made the two in post #5? My first thought was foreign coz of the seediness of the orange but the rest of the marble doesn't look foreign so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thanks everyone! Thank you Steph, I was guessing Ravenswood on those two. I saw a close example at Joe's (thanks Joe!!!) Marbles site just now. It seems to me that Ravenswood's brown is caused from an orange mix/blend. I have one more of these (from same jar) that has an erupting annealing fracture that almost will cut you if you handle it too quickly. I guess this color combo was slightly unstable. Anyone else seeing this on the orange and blue and white (Ravens) combos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucks_mibs Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yep. Thanks.IMG_0772 (731x800).jpg I wonder who made these two? They are killer. And just look at all the orange glass everywhere. All those masters are orange! Did you spot two (Master) tiger eyes? Looking at these .....they have a little resemblance to Ravenswood.......The orange is almost like a "Butterscotch"....here is a sample of one I sold recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) What size are marbles in #5. If 3/4th inch, JABO.

ann Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 My first thought was foreign coz of the seediness of the orange but the rest of the marble doesn't look foreign so I'm hung up on the seediness of the orange too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
