Steph Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 What examples do you have of modern Marble Kings? Here's a pic of some little pink moonie-like ones I took for another thread. Smallish. They have fire inside. (The cats are modern also.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 those pink ones are opalescent. I have some modern marble kings. It will take a while to upload them here. What I like about the Facebook boards is that I don't need a photo host and the full size picture just posts straight from me to board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sissydear Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I have some of those I posted in original bags. Don't know where Randy found them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 This is nice, Edna - thanks. You have some great examples. Are those AV Cat's Eyes the ones they called Pixie Dusts or something? I got a couple of outstanding ones from Beri at the Sistersville show a few years back. All this MK talk reminded me of the piece Beri did on the Colbert Report a few years ago. It was a pretty entertaining little segment: http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/h0bv7g/america-s-job-loss---beri-fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Great clip! Beri seems like a terrific person. You just know you could grab a beer with her and talk about any old thing and have a great time. As is always the case with Edna's photo posts, there are too many exceptional marbles to comment on individually. But I'm really fond of that rather off-beat translucent looking experimental. And didn't know there was what I'll call a Marble King 'Pepsi'. The opening photo here is the second example of small moonies I've seen recently. I have four moonies of distinctly different sizes at this point, but for some reason an 11/16 is my smallest. May have to come out of marble-buying retirement and see what I can do at the smaller end of the scale. Was the use of the term 'moonie-like' because a capital-M 'Moonie' would be reserved for a particular manufacturer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Well, two particular manufacturers, yes. Akro and Christensen Agate. But Berry Pink called some of Peltier's marbles moonies. I suspect he was just referring to a translucent base glass -- might not even have needed to see fire. And if I recall correctly, his version of moonies were allowed to have stripes.

kbobam Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Nice marble. And I really like the go-for-it 'full zoom ahead captain!' isolation that lets everything else fade into the background. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Can't take credit for the pic. That would be Ray Tetrick. All I did was buy the marbles . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
