Fun with classic marbles

[Steph]

Do you have marbles which are practically perfect examples of their type?  A "perfect" cross-through cat's eye.  A perfect Akro auger?  Let's see some classic examples which show off the defining feature beautifully.  You up to the challenge?  

Here's Galen's CAC Turkey montage to start the show.

I have a perfect cross threw cats eye. I have a pee wee one as well. I am so trying to shoe my photos. I just can't send any of them now. I don't get it

I use a free app. from the microsoft store it's called resize crop and share. Nothing special, but it works good. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks I think I was able to out 29 photos of some of the marbles I have. Somewhere on this site not sure where. Appreciate you help.

Here is the classic  picture of the Peltier Citrus family that we keep pulling up from past posts as needed.  Photo by Smitty?  Al will know for sure.

Nesting Bird.

I think I see it.

Abra-cadabra

Or maybe it's like the ink blot test.........I'm seeing what I want to see.    The red dot is its eye.

[Steph]

I saw it! I saw it!

That's a pretty stunning photograph.  If there's some wordplay to it, it went over my head.

[westcoast_dave]

No wordplay Steph just a fun pic.  This little guy was my pet bug for a photo session.  He would land on the marble, then land on my hand whilel I was photographing.  For at least 10 minutes back an forth.  Didn't have the heart to swat a fellow marble lover.

I was thinking Fruit fly

I always saw a coiled snake in this one. Dave, this is the bottom of that flame you like - I finally got the orange right on my new (to me) camera.

 

Here's the other side of that puppy:

Some serious flame-age there....thank you for sharing.

Would you believe I got it from a guy named LaFlame? True story.

Some of the basic about slags;

Peltier: "Feathering" in the white

CAC: One or two seams and brighter colors of the transparent glass

Akro: No defining characteristics

MFC: "9" and tail

These are just the basics, however, any of the companies may show similar traits as the others (hope that makes sense(?))

Hope this helps.
