lstmmrbls Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 So I saw a group of vintage marbles on Ebay and this marble was in it. At the last Vegas show I IDed a MK swirl for someone and that is what I was hoping when I saw this. Well it is much busier than the ones I have seen and I believe I may have been snookered by one of those stinking new marbles. It is a bit under 23/32 and much less new looking than the similar SMMs and Dave marbles etc I have seen. Someone want to tell me it is an MK swirl. Make my Christmas for me.

jeeperman Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I am not up on my MK but for what it is worth, that is not the feel I get. Almost has an odd Pelt feel but not. I look forward to hearing what everyone comes up with, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbboy Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I thought the MK's like those were larger? Someone has a pic of them in a bag I remember. I can see a little Vacor in it though. Is the glass texture smooth or gritty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Galen, probably a six ribbon pelt from what i see. I have yet to see an MK swirl in two colors but they very well could be. The blue on yours is transparent and most MK swirls are the opaque colors. Her is a photo, top row, Mk swirls. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast_dave Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 From the photos, the marble looks like it's been polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I don't think it is polished. It does look like a MK swirl with only two colors. sami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Got any pics of the rest of it? I would like to see the other sides/angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 A couple more views. The surface is not extremely smooth but nothing Vacor like, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 It seems to me a new marble,but do not know who made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'd like to say the second set of pics help (more than deepen the mystery), lol . Is there anything specific that rules out Alley for you? That's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
