MF Opaque?

So I’m sure you guys have seen plenty of inquires such as this one. Well I’m hoping mine will be the one that is correct. I did a trade with someone several months back. He told me included in the marbles I will be getting is some old hand mades. I found zero handmades. But I didn’t find a bag of game marbles.. blues, yellows, greens and and.. purple ones. However there are two different shades of blue. I only ever knew of one shade of blue for MF Christensen. At least until I came across an Alan’s marble website where he speaks about two different tones of blue. Well without taking up any more of your time here is some photos I took of one of the green ones. The easiest one I could find the 9 on.  Getting photos of the nine is EXTREMELY difficult. But hopefully you can see what I see.

Nice work on the images StevenJustSteven.
This may well be a hand gathered marble--or not.
I have done multiple trades and have never been screwed--trust and know your trading partner. Expect what you expect and move on if you are not satisfied. 
I have never been disappointed with a trade—ever.
I am old school and do not involve myself with social media. 
Years ago I was a member of “Nans Board” (this is just a guess it may have been Nan’s “something else”). It was a great break from all of the arguing that went on back then between marble collectors. 
I had to drop out of collecting because of some reason that I cannot remember and do not know what happened to the “Nan” thing.
We would trade marbles one on one through the administrator and the one marble that I remember was from a new collector that just dived into it all. She sent me her first handmade marble, she made it herself.
What a sacrifice! I still have it someplace and when I see it, it brings me back to the good old days when some folks were trying to do what we do here today.
Just collect and do not judge. Live and learn.
As always—
Marble—On!!
