Gnome Punter Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well, this is my 3rd Watermelon so I will be unloading it for cash or for some nice Akro ades and ox I still want to find out what the whole "lucky 7" thing is. If it was something the seller used or if it was a local name or what. I am unfamiliar with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 It's not the marble I've previously seen described as a Lucky 7. This is closer to what I think of when I see that name: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1stop-rare-marble-king-lucky-7-marbles-stmarys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Steph, the one you showed is a Vitro Agate Peacock. I must have something wrong with my settings. I get bold, italics, and underlines when I don't mean to. I'm not screaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Yah, I saw that worthpoint as well as figured it was a vitro as well lol The mystery continues ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I'm not 100% convinced on the Vitro vs. MK thing. That always used to be argued about. In any case, the only marbles I ever recall being called Lucky 7 had that kind of coverage. Not thin stripes. Maybe they weren't actually Marble King, but they did have essentially full coverage, whoever made them. Edna, at the top left side of your reply window, there should be an icon for "BBCode Mode". If you click on that, so that all those other buttons become dim, then maybe that will stop the problem you're having with the random font changes. Maybe you're accidentially clicking on the other buttons. Dimming them will inactivate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Here's Patry's Lucky 7. On the left in the first photo. In the middle in the 2nd. She also thought it was a Vitro. Last I heard the maker was still in dispute. My main point is that whoever made it, that's the style of marble which was being called "Lucky 7" when I learned the name.

clydetul62 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Lucky 7 was suppossed to be because it had 7 different colors. Not sure if it was Jill Spencer that coined the term. Her web site http://www.marblequeen.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her web site http://www.marblequeen.com/ That was what I was told The 7 applied to it having 7 colors I would rather one full blend, no white either.

One would ASSUME it would be the 3 primary, 3 secondary and...no idea on the 7th it could be assumed that in this case they are counting white? The marble steph called Patrys has 6 colors unless you count white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Punter Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Mine has 6 colors and no green Mine has BLENDS, which I do not really consider colors, but there is Salmon and brown on it so I dunno. it's ugly and I will end up selling it more than likely The Irish I found in a jar full of pelts for 35.00 and i was happy with that.

White on nothing counts IMO. My point,which I thought was horribly clear, related to math...1-6 by no 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
