Marble mail days are the best days of the week! Sincerely grateful to add this piece to my Leighton collection. Always on the hunt for great Leighton made marbles! Measures 1 7/16”. Thank you for looking!

Another shout out to the York Nebraska marble museum and cateye1212 on ebay! Scored these two awesome deep amber pinch pontil Yasudas. One of them even has some nice teal inclusions!

Its not sounding my JABO memory, but It could still be. Vitro is my guess.

A Jabo we recently added and some MK and this pretty little box

Kim here. Favorites are JABO/DAS and more recently NLG. Have only been collecting about two years. I go to a lot of estate sales so have quite a bit of "everything"... or they might be nothing. Time & ID videos will tell🤭. This group has been super helpful... so glad I found you.

It's Akro Friday ❤️

Thank you, Tommy. Another note: That packaging was a second generation. The first generation (2003) had the trimmed bag top up inside the header. The marbles were trapped (not removable). I decided to invert the bag so the zip-lock was at the bottom. That allowed the marbles to be removed for enjoyment.

Heaton, htf color.

I really do see what you're getting at. These which you are showing today are nicely constructed. Wish I could be more helpful. Signed, Here for moral support

And I am thinking Vitro... Agree with pretty awesome mib either way!

Needless to say, Linda and I are huge Akro fans. The 1 inch uv slag is the newest addition to our collection. ☺️🙏✝️🙏

May have one or two Akros or Vitros in here

Those Snakes are awesome! And just in case it has not been said enough, Akros are super cool!

A bit of swirl and Master love

I have collected 3 very limited prints recently. Artist name is Karen Day. I would imagine she has been here on the forum and knows many of you oldtimers. One of these smaller ones in a 5/7 frame with the black matte is one of six 1/6. The other smaller one is three of six 3/6 and the large one in an 8x10 frame is not numbered as much as I can see but signed on the back of the matte. I am a fan now! All are signed in hand. I framed them up today and hung them up. I can identify most of the marbles. Thanks for looking.

Here is a Block Auction where I have no current financial position: https://bid.marbleauctions.com/online-auctions/blocks-marble-auctions/contemporary-handmade-john-mccormick-3-packages-total-9-marbles-9049057 If you notice the dates “2003-2005”, these were sold either at Moon Marble or eBay. 20+ years ago. These “Patches” were made using a technique published in Drew Fritts’ book. The glass used to make these marbles was Spectrum stained glass (COE 96). Fun to demonstrate how they were made. Very quick. The shortest demonstration during any Marble Crazy at Moon Marble. The bottom package was a “Citrus” set (Lemon, Lime and Orange). [Please move to “Public Auctions “.]

Yes I have bought the few marble mansion made sets I have come across and they are in my collection.

@shiroaiko We are all hoping that you may be able to share photos of family marbles after a successful meeting.

Vitro trilite

@akroorka, thanks for letting me know😃 It looks like a Japanese pinch pontil to me... it is not perfectly round and the glass might be easier to get bruised.

For Akro Friday! The first one is 11/16", the second is 23/32", and I'm pretty sure that last one, the Blue is 5/8"

Imperial, beautiful, he looks like Peltier..

They could be Asian as well as Mexican.

Just want to confirm this is JABO. Likely "April Fling" run? It's so much nicer than my other 2-seam JABO's. Does anyone know more details about the 2-seam JABOS? It's around 5/8 inches.

Akro IMO

The case is a cigar display from Frederick and Nelson department stores.

Vitro lilac.

Recent MK additions. Might be a vitro in here with Pink. But 2 killer MK!

Approx 13/16" enjoying the sunshine

This is how I currently see it, though others may certainly have differing opinions. From my understanding, the ‘Navarre’ style of marble was discovered at multiple Leighton factory sites during excavations, which suggests it was likely produced at more than one location as well.

Here is the white on blue and the white on green pair.

My favorite, 3/4”. Original surface, not polished.

1.95" and 2.25"

It could be a Vacor "stingray" Some images..

Didn’t pass…2-hr drive each way. 1-3/8” rabbitt 5/8” Indian (some banding glass loss) 15/16” solid core 7/8” corn husk 2 5/8” gooseberry same cane 7/8” onion w/lutz 11/16” peppermint onion Paid twice what he wanted, we are both happy!!

Very nice!

#2 is a divided Ribbon core, not sure if there is another core inside the ribbons on #1 or not, if not a really nice Divided core also with some excellent twist action, verry symmetrical. Both divided Ribbon core from what I can make out from the pix but like I said not positive on #2 ? Might be a tri level (three stage) my brain is on underdrive tonight

Hey all! I’m new here! I’m a lover of antiques, a picker and a diver lol. My dad and I scavenge old dumps and landfills, someone threw these away and I don’t know enough about marbles-YET. To determine whether or not these are worth anything. So here I am, nice to meet you all and Thank you in advance!

Thank you so much... the learning curve on marbles is huge and I appreciate the comments and help!

Master It looks like a light drizzle
