Marvelous Mibs Marbles Collectors Zone

Just wondering about collector names. I guess the first three would be red zebras? How about the brownish based one? Is that considered chocolate or is it too light? I thought the rainbo on the end was neat with that funky band. I had a successful week of treasure hunting. Thanks all!

Nice Score indeed David.

I'd venture a guess that the Red Zebra on the left
COULD or MIGHT fall into the catagory as a " Broken Cork " NLR.

MAYBE.........and I say MAYBE even the one next to it.

Ditto on what Chuck said......STELLAR RAINBO !!!! Great Color/Combo !

RAR................. Cool

i would call the first 3 Red Zebras, and i'd also go out on a limb to say they're in order of age.

the 4th one, can't really tell - is that more orange?

the last one is a text-book "woody"

and they're all lovely!

Hey Tank, are there different varieties of Woodies? Here is one that I am not sure if it was you or Lizzy identified for me on LOM.

Chuck

I've called those Woodies.

I have those on that base color as well.
I have a few with other Brown BaseGlass
that have the " Woody " Ribbons. Some have
the "Heavy" veneered Brown (patch ?) on the
one side and ribbons on the other like your
1st pic.

I think those have fallen into the 7-Up...Sunset and
a few other Rainbo name catagory. The Bloodies are another
Rainbo that did get a Name when found in boxes
that are labeled Bloodies.

Great pics of the second one. My pics always looked
ORANGE. Could never get a good enough pic to
ask the same question.

RAR........... Cool

hey chuck, it was probably lizzy if it was on LOM, but i wouldn't argue with that ID.

my understanding of the term 'woody' is that it's a kind of a category or a style characteristic (like 'metallic'), rather than an actual 'name' (like zebra or 7-up)

i should clarify that it was guy gregg who came up with the name, and i can't say for sure if he meant a characteristic or if he meant a particular color combo.

but i think the way it's caught on, anytime you see that nice, pronounced wood-grain look on a rainbo, i'd call it a woody.

Hey...........I don't know nuttin' about no "woodies"! hehe

Chuck, not sure if it was me that called yours a "Woody" on LOM, but I'm in agreement with Chris that it's used more as a descriptive term than an actual "collector's name".
