William Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 The glass leans more towards the yellowish side of green rather than the usual greens I have seen. More than likely a bubble split the veins when made, but thought I would post here for any input being an uncommon oddity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 if it a huge fracture that gives those odd internal reflections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted May 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 No fractures, appears too be air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hrmmm, not sure then. I've seen fractures that look like that, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 I’m thinking Imperial or Vacor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Foreign, for sure. I've seen some where the only fractures are in the vanes, but this one looks like it's got a big fracture in the base glass too, and they can look pretty weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Vacor, i see orange peel in the reflection of the light and around the marble and my guess is thats also a nice clean fracture you see splitting it up like that , seen it before here with some of mine i have here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Orange peel not necessarily Vacor. I have many marbles from almost every manufacture with an orange peel texture. An orange peel texture is desired on an Akro Jolly Roger. Jolly Rogers "have to be over an inch to qualify" but the orange peel surface isn't a must just desired because it looks exactly like an orange peel, I believe this marble is where the term originated but I'm not sure ?? Be ready to pay up for one of these, just not that many around. Pics of Bill MCcaleb's (mibcapper) Akro Jolly Roger, so named after Roger Hardy, this one I believe is between 1&1/8th & 1&1/14 " Same mib with a small piece of cullet Another one from the old "mibbage.com" sales site, belonged to Charles Williams I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Here are some different shots. This marble is a little tricky, the "line" inside is pretty straight and from what I can see in hand, doesn't go through the vein, rather around it. The surface isn't fractured anywhere that I can see. In one shot you can see little bubbles running along the top of the vein. There are tiny fractures inside but all are attached to the vein, none of them near the surface. The only marks on the surface are the cut marks. The vein gives the look of something as if it were breaking the surface of water. It's a crazy marble but cool at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Hmm, maybe the expanding gas (air) bubble caused the fracturing in the first place, making it appear as just being an air bubble. The log straight line is a fracture, as well as the small horizontal crack on the interior on one of the veins. So I see both a fracture & an air bubble.

William Posted May 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yeah, it's pretty weird looking, like a hunk of the vein has been moved when it took place. Just had to have it as an oddity 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
