Mattshaw1953 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi, on further inspection it has lots of tiny bubbles, almost like a fizzy drink?, also a kind of brown smear, the camera struggles to pick it up!😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 What do its cutlines look like? (The places on the marble which we would call pontils on your handmades.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi, the cut lines I can only see with a loupe, sort of look like a fine strand of hair, they run into the discoloured patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Are they long? short? straight? v-shaped? Moonie-like marbles are notoriously difficult to ID across the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hi, they are short with a slight curve, the patch seems a red/orange tinge, there are quite a few tiny black dots, debris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yeah, short with slight curve, with orange glow, could be Akro Moonie. And yeah black dots could be debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 You're loosing interest Stephers, what's the Coo?, am I sending you to sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Coo? Is that a British term? Moonies are hard to identify on a computer. Turns out lots of makers had marbles with fire inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbarney2012 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not the best pic but you might the idea. This is a back lit moonie. Hope it helps Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbarney2012 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 O course this is not back lit same marble as above. I am not sure of maker but it is a moonie Any ideas on maker would be appreciated. Thanks Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Dennis, the backlit view on yours appears to have a visible cutline which I found interesting and which might have made me think of a patch company. The other views look swirly though. The swirly views make me think your marble is a Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattshaw1953 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hi all, I'm back in the land of the Sober, ha ha, it's hard to explain, but on mine there is a dense fuzz of bubbles. On you're marble Dennis, there seems to be whispy translucent patches, which aren't present on mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
