A Champion Red Cloud. I had it labeled wrong for a long time until I posted it as a Champion Furnace marble and Chuck S. (cheese) informed me of my mistaken identity. It has also been mistaken by others as a Champion Hot Wheels. Here are a couple views of the same marble.

Here is a dandy at 5/8”. Alley Agate?

I am thinking that it must have come from some place in the Vintage Marble Capitol of the World—West Virginia.

This marble has a semi-opaque Brownish base glass with light Turquoise striping/swirls.

Hard light will not show trough the marble but it will at the edges. The striping/swirls go quite deep and throughout.

Marble—On!!!

Here are two nice ones. No names or ID from me, I just like them. Opinions are welcome of course.

Is there a descriptive name given to the three fingered swirl apparition in the last one? I have seen this in a few different marbles and I wonder what it may be called—if anything.

Marble—On!!

I remember that red cloud moment Chad. I still don't have one. I think they must be a bit harder to find.

 

Here's my contribution for the day, a few hours late EST. 

Pink on brown Sistersville Alley.

I got my red cloud in a lot, if Paula won that box a bit back she will have 5, maybe she'll part w, one ?? Ah !! by the way, nice score on the mib Brother, a HTF color combo for sure, brown is pretty common but the pink you don't see everyday, not even every other day !!

Dave the ones you posted earlier aren't from the blush line, they are later marbles from St. Mary's. Usually more of a creamier base, often going to grey or tan. 

Chad I was wrong, I went and looked at my Champs and I do have one. Hard to keep up with my marbles anymore. I'm trying to amass as many marbles as I can so that when I start losing them, it will take a long time before anyone notices lol.
