Contemporary art glass marble signature ID

[Paul morrissey]

Need help id'ing a signature (and date) on this mib. Tried  Google AI image 3  times and  got 3 different for sure ID's. the usual, so hoping someone out there might recognize and be able to tell for sure, it IS Very hard  to get a clear image so..... But I figure can't hurt to try, Right? I will post a few shots of the marble for reference plus a couple attempts at macro's. It is 1 1/4" diameter with a single pontil which is of course helping to obscure the markings. Thanks! PM

Give this a try…

Take a black sharpie marker and black out the signature area.

Let it dry.

Rub the glass surface with your thumb-pad to remove the marker on the smooth surface.

The remaining black in the grooves will help the signature stand out.

Repost a picture with the black signature.

First guess = Sonny Miller

Best of luck!

Here are some pic's I tried using  graphite, definitely more detail/contrast but still not quite legible to me. Maybe someone  more familiar with these type  of mibs and artist's will recognize it and solve the puzzle? Thanks, PM

Sorry, but it is still a bit too fuzzy for me to make out the signature.

It appears to be three lines of text.

Followed by the year (03 or 05).

I went through Steph’s list of Contemporary Artists, but came up short.

Sorry, for not being helpful.

Thanks so much for your efforts! I agree on the 3 line script followed by '03 for date, which seems odd, This may be one of those that will remain a mystery! hanks again for your time and diligence, Very much appreciated!!! PM
