Ric Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 I'm feeling nostalgic today so I'll post one of Mike's (migbar) marbles. He hand-inscribed the marble no., size and date - the rest of the info is printed on the insert. And the marble photo is actually cut out of photographic paper and glued to the insert. He was great guy, very artistic, one-of-a-kind, for sure. And he made some really dandy marbles too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say you are way ahead of me. I only have two of Mike's marbles, although I do have the packaging inserts with them. Do you have the inserts too?

I found a few of these and I remember noting that the way the white hits a bluish hue, it puts Ravenswood to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Ravenswood was my first thought, but the internal action and the dug ones you showed make me lean toward Heaton pretty hard. I think that yellow/amber base is not so common for Ravenswood either. It's very Honey Biscuit -ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Smore Akroware for this "Sunday's Best" the inside of another matching cup 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Yes, somewhat. The difference in the Honey Biscuit being that it's actually colorless clear with transparent honey colored ribbons and white ribbons. That honey ribbon also being transparent makes it look like the entire base is that amber color but it's not. Here's a pic that shows the three different glass types in the Honey Biscuit. You may already know this but I've seen several other collectors (mainly on Facebook) calling amber based/white ribbon marbles Honey Biscuits, so I thought I'd mention the difference. One cool part is that the honey ribbon is full of bubbles while the clear part has few. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say, could it be a Green Raven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
