cheese Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Yes on the Mountain Dew! The pile with the melted ingot in the middle, those are called Opal Ladies. They are in the same blush line as the Lady Taters, but the tater is a different base. Here is a Lady Tater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say a calligraphy marble absolutely has to be opaque because I have two that have translucent bases and the white or light ribbons that are on the surface look like they could have been produced with a calligraphy pen. Very little to none of them are visible in the translucent base -- it's thick enough to cause that effect. Sort of like the one on the right, But to me the one on the right is not a calligraphy marble . . . "just" a nice very squiggly one. The one on the left below I'd call a wirepull or wirepull's cousin (too much visible in 3D). Jus' sayin.' http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q711/a1mibs/Alley/Ric622_zpsfhzqeyld.jpg There is an excellent Video on YouTube featuring Ron Shepard and Stephen Bahr about Alley Marbles; and they have a section on 'Calligraphy marble I.D. with salesman sample case and everything if that helps. I just watched it and Calligraphy marbles are very pretty!! If you have any, then you have some real prize marbles in your collection.

Ric Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I just fixed a bunch of broken photo links in my old posts in this topic. And since it's a mostly pics thread . . . This type in the salesman's sample case. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
