Melissa Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Last image is backlit. I love that yellow and red on the right whatever it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 An Akro error and a JABO is what I see for the first two. I can't decide on the third - it might be helpful to see where that long tail in the second pic attaches to the rest of the red - my first thought is another weird Akro but it could be something else too. You nailed it with "weirdo" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 That is a weird one. Peerless patches can get pretty weird--what if? Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, Art, seems like it has to be that or an even weirder Akro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I agree 1st is Akro and last is Pelt Peerless Patch. Middle is ? for me. I can agree Jabo, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 For me the first one is a Mushroom, the second one is Jabo and the third one is CAC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that was my first thought as well--until I looked realy hard like I know that you do---I am on the fence--it hurts too. Marble--On!!

Ric Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I didn't know mushrooms could have transparent patches and I am not really seeing the "mushroom" structure at either seam where the ribbon meets the patch but . . . ? I thought about CAC on the third one too but, like Art, moved on because that long tail (particularly the end of it) seems odd for CAC, at least to me.

Which is not to say they were made in Canada but I don't know about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I could eat mushrooms every day--but a mushroom marble is a new term to me. Lets see some examples--please. You learn someting new every day--this is my chance to learn today. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Here is an old pic I had saved. It was from a fellow named Roger who used to frequent here. He had a nice website that explained pontils, transitionals and other marble arcana. I hadn't looked at this in many years and, as usual, it seems Ron may be on to something. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I agree with Mushroom on the first. Most of the ones I've found are from Canadian or European sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Typically found with mid-century groups. In my experience anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I have had and seen as many colored transparent mushrooms as opaque. Nola over two years bought all of mine. The last one with the tail. The tail was what convinced me of CAC. The no bleed edges of the red and the well rounded end of the tail. It was suppose to swirl but it just did not spin correct in the roll groove. In the last group shot of three, you can see the very straight cut. No one has ever proved who made the mushroom style marbles, or when. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
