Ric Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 not too sure why though. I mean, it's clearly an MP, right? And the seams are offset by near 90 degrees relative to one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems unusual for this color marble, but that might just be because I really don't pay much attention to MKs, especially the newer ones.

Ric Posted February 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Is this an unusual MK or is it a common type? Just how uninformed am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I think it’s older. Similar to the MK Submarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I'll go with "unusual". But I don't know. I also think older. But where it would be in the timeline compared to a well-defined patch and ribbon ... before, during, after? ... I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 It’s special and I’m sure there is a MK ID on this one. 🍿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I would think that not all MKs ribbons mirror each at the seam and some could be off set like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I did see it mentioned on MarbleAlan's that in recent years MK released translucent versions of the older marbles? Would this be one? Thought I would throw this in here after reading up on it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree . . . opalescent base glass, a Lazy "S" shaped seam that's near 90 degrees offset fom the other one, it's a crazy MK, no doubt. But I think this one would be odd no matter who made it. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think of wonky, I think of a one-off - a real oddball, and I'm not convinced that is what my marble is. I just think it's unusual, and as I said, I am surprised I haven't seen others like it. Now this, this is WONKY . . . lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
