Vancecrash Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Number two: Marble king, right? No doubt in my mind. One straight, one curve on the seam. Patch and ribbon. Bang. What is this first one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancecrash Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 But, but, but, I have read no place about marble king u shape seams that nest...oh man...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I'm not sure what you mean by nesting. These are definitely Marble Kings, so Marble Kings must be able to nest. I'm just not sure which exact part of the marble you're saying is nesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Probably the most common Marble King they ever made. I played with these in the 1950's. It was the only marble then that I ever heard a name for. Then along came the Cat Eye's. I warned about cut lines. They can help but not totally reliable. You cannot identify big numbers of marbles accurate by cut line shape alone. Several different varieties of Bumblebees from MK through the years. These are older ones. Sizes from tiny pee wee to one inch. Colors with yellow can be different shades of purple, browns, dark blue, and black. Some of the newer ones are clear or translucent base.

Vancecrash Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Ron did warn me. What I meant about the seams is that what I have read is that the u shaped seams of marble king face one another. Like this (), but these nest one another. Like this )). Again Ron warned me earlier this week. Size and color and pattern can and usually do mean much more. I didn't mean to discount your assessment, Steph. Sorry if I came across that way. And sorry Ron, I was thinking of your words when I was looking at it and wondering what the heck, but...another lesson learned lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Marbles are never ending learning. New and more accurate information comes to the surface every year. There is so much more information now than 20-10 or 5 years ago. If you rely on old information it may have changed ? Never rely on one source. Use many and then decide. Mistakes are great teachers. You will always know now what a MK Bumblebee is . Just teach it to someone else in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
