Hi,
      yes you're right. Officially listed only as a doorstop, it has been refered to as a marbrie by WF collectors for quite a while. This is probably a misuse of the term in the strict sense.

I'm just wondering if it's right to call it a "marbrie"?   
I know I'm pedantic,

I would have described it as "trailed and feathered" but Whitefriars' collectors have their own lingo..
