Steph Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hello. Welcome. I am pretty sure I have seen these ID-ed as Master by reputable collectors. The colors are so bright I wonder if it could be something else. But Master is the best option I have at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mibby wonka Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 My first thought is also master but that is a very bright orange. Very nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Agreed on Master here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouches Posted May 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Thanks for the opinions, looking at some of the different manufacturer's styles, master does seem to be most similar out of everything I've seen. I will upload some pictures hopefully tonight, they will not be very well organized, but I hope you enjoy them. And feel free to point anything out. I'm new to this, I don't yet have an experienced eye, I'm trying to learn my marbles!! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbernugs Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Could the OP be one of those Wales types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not and Agree with the Master ID on this one. (my only other thought was a weirdo Phantom Conqueror) Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispler did come to mind, but I was thinking of the Wales types, but didn't know if the white filaments fit that description or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I love a good mystery, and this is the stuff that makes this board so awesome. That we can all add a bit here and there until someone comes along and nails it. It's so satisfying when we figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouches Posted May 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Thanks for the thoughts! Its helpful for getting started. I've spent the majority of my last 4 days looking at my marbles, watching videos, treading this forum and other websites. My eyes hurt from backlighting marbles, I need a UV light now... I think I have a problem, hah! I cannot even explain how much more my eyes are seeing in these marbles. I had them all grouped in mostly color schemes, and at first they all looked the same in these groups. Just different sizes Now the colors and patterns and variants are starting to stand out, its really fascinating. I've got the impression watching videos and forums people are not so interested in the "clearies" I find them fascinating, not so much the ones that just get brighter when backlit and just have tiny bubbles. But I really like these ones that appear black till you backlight them, then they have a base color with some swirl look, amazing! More pictures later probably, I cant stop! :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I love the look of clearies. And the clearies helped Vitro stay open in the 1950's when American marble companies were struggling with the popularity of the new cat's eyes which were coming over from Japan. So historically important too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 This "clearie" is almost two inches. I have it on my window sill and it reflects everything. The bubbles are the cool factor for me with this one. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
