KBL104 Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 10:35 PM Seemed so simple... Marble King Bumble Bee... but when I went to put them with "known" others... they don't quite look the same. Headed as the newbie to a marble show in a month and want to be sure I have labeled correctly.... opinions welcome!! Thank you.

duotone Posted Saturday at 11:08 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:08 PM All MK Bumblebees. There's a lot of variation—sometimes the black thins out and looks gray or purple, sometimes streaks of another color appear like in the second one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBL104 Posted Saturday at 11:51 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:51 PM Thank you for the ID and the explanation. Sometimes just an ID doesn't help me understand why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted Sunday at 01:14 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:14 AM Marble King is a great marble maker to study as a beginner.Not very difficult to get pretty well informed. I like MK a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBL104 Posted Sunday at 04:54 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:54 PM Agree. Have been watching Stephen Bahr videos on many different makers.... also have some books. My marble group members (Midwest Marble Club) have also been helpful to the newbie with 1000+ marbles. I've had them for about two years but illness and death in my family kept me from really diving in. Thus, just kept acquiring when could in hopes I would get to them someday. Someday finally arrived this winter and I'm surrounded by marbles in plastic cases with little slips of paper and scrawled names! I've learned a lot but know just tip of the iceberg. I'm looking to purchase a copy of the book "Peltier Glass Toy Marbles"... know expensive, but did spring for the CAC red one and LOVE IT. Also trying to find the Peltier Marble poster from Stephen Erst, but I'm late to the game in trying to get that as well and striking out. I bought two jars of Vacor recently but again late to the game to get book For the Love of Vacors. But I'll keep looking for them all and hope to score yet. Really appreciate this forum as I'm not on facebook. Thanks y'all! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
