Kimbernugs Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 This Pelt looks like it has 4 seams to me. I took pics in my new setup. Much improved. I showed each of what look like seams to me and both poles. It's a bit larger than 5/8, but calipers will be my next purchase. So am I seeing things or is this some incorporated twin or whatever it's called when 2 mibs blend together? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaMarble Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Only two “true” seams on machine made marbles, everything else is a fold from where the molten gob hit the rollers and was made spherical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the pics - no more distracting reflections! In a double ingot, you will usually be able to see a continuous false "seam" all the way around the circumference of the marble - it's actually the interface between the two globs of glass (marbles) that came together to form it. Imagine how you could take two different colored balls of clay, push them together and round them into a larger ball - you should be able to follow that interface between the two colors all the way around that large ball. Also, if yours is a double ingot it would have been made from two considerably smaller marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, now imagine taking six different colored balls . . . lol You might wind up with something like this 1-1/8" (minus the little nub) sextuple ingot - just so you know that things can get a bit more complicated. 🙂 The volume calculations work out near perfectly for this forming from 6 x 5/8" marbles, and you can actually count the globs too if you're careful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 The variants of green in the ribbons make this John Deere kinda special. Most have only one constant green in the ribbons. That’s a nice one for sure🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
