B-rett66 Posted February 12, 2024 Report Share Posted February 12, 2024 Can’t make up my mind weather it a Snake or Auger. Knowing my luck it’s neither one. You can see right down the middle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble--On!! Thank ya. I’ll take note. I did have it sitting on a brass fitting with a light under it. To be able to get a real good pic I had to dim the light with paper. The hole does go all the way through. Can’t really get a shot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted February 13, 2024 Report Share Posted February 13, 2024 Not a Snake. Those have a very thin ribbon🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 13, 2024 Report Share Posted February 13, 2024 If your marble just had the thin ribbon on the surface and not in the matrix it would be a Snake Spiral 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-rett66 Posted February 13, 2024 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2024 What do you make of this ?? I have seen a lot of stuff from grandpasmarbles. They have it named a “Mister Twister. It’s described very similar to mine. http://www.grandpamarble.com/html/gm2048.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait for qualified opinions on the marble. Grandpa Marble certainly has some nice-looking offerings, but many are way too rich for my blood.

Carowill Posted February 13, 2024 Report Share Posted February 13, 2024 My vote is an auger, not a snake. A snake is a corkscrew just under the surface and an auger travels deeply towards the center of the marble. Just like a porthole auger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-rett66 Posted February 13, 2024 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2024 I love to research and investigate these marbles, well anything really. Like it’s been said before, “The thrill of the Hunt” is what makes this fun. I told my son, who collects too we could always call it a snauger. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted February 14, 2024 Report Share Posted February 14, 2024 Corkscrew is actually a Homemade ID. If you asked an Akro Salesman if they had any Corkscrews for sale they would have said no. Back in the day they were all Spirals🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
