  3. About 350 pounds of mostly Vacor. I got the lot for 80.00. It was a bitch moving them from the sellers second floor.

  4. Like "All About Marbles" told you, this is an Alley. We all have marbles we would like to be something other than what they are, but it's not a CAC. Agree with Fire and with AAM.

  5. I appreciate being recognized and being asked to “personally” help ID a marble in a new thread. There are Marble Elders here that have 25 plus years of collecting marbles that predate the internet. They went to the shows in the 70’s-90’s. I stumbled back into the hobby and rekindled my interest in 2000. I’m kinda at a loss on how to say this other than thank you. Please remember that my responses are a small fraction of everyone else’s here. Does that make sense???🔥 RAR

  6. I’m not quite done. I wish I could have gone to shows back then with marbles for trade and cash and coins in hand. Face to face exchanges and memories made. No PayPal,Venmo,Apple Pay and all those other ways to buy something that are ever changing. Save your pennies now. It’s not going to be to much longer until these little round flat pieces of copper aren’t going to be made anymore. 🔥 RAR

  18. Each piece in the “Last Daze” series is born in the twilight of the torch. These marbles are made from the scraps, the color tests, the strange ends of rods the ghosts of the day’s experiments. They may carry scuffs, fingerprints, tool marks. No plan, no polish just the raw, unfiltered last daze of creation. Each marble is a time capsule of the daze. A piece of evidence that something happened today. A messy, magic, End-Of-Days monument.

  20. OP is Alley IMO almost every manufacturer made marbles at one time or another that exhibit a turkey type head or a close facsimile thereof. Second looks Akro to me, never seen ac CAC W lashes from dull shears, if you have another example of one it would be nice to see it. I no longer collect CAC gave & traded them all away years ago, Alley and Pelt now, and of course my first love of when I started collecting marbles in the 80's German Handmades. Funny, nobody wanted machinemades then, my how things do change.

  21. It’s one of the most basic marbles but stands out of an entire bin of marbles you pick thru. 😂

  23. There's a picture I see online from time to time -- a moldy orange with green mold on top, white mold around the middle and orange still on the bottom. Every time I see it I think "Vitro".

  25. Found some decent ones today. When you travel as much as I do you deserve some scores on the road.

  27. The 0.80" size also makes it extremely unlikely to be CAC.

  32. She says that it reminds her of, that the blood of Jesus turns us white as snow. We are having a family reunion today and I am giving it to her. The base glass is really white. It's whiter than any of my other oxbloods.

  36. I must have gotten these (Top half) during a run of Blue Tang making that lacked the sufficient deep blue swirl colored glass and these are more green. I don't think they are a named style of Vacor but if the are, please let me know. For now I shall call them "Tangle". Seems appropriate for the situation they put me in. Pictures are fairly close to color I suppose. Thanks for looking.

  37. Today we did make it to Rolley Hole. I did a 3 hour combo of talking and playing the game. Got some folks hooked on it now. We used quarters instead of the key rings since I lost them.

  39. So I have scoured the internet looking for a set like this and have nothing to compare it to if anybody has a value or any other information it would be greatly appreciated I Recently acquired this set from a very nice lady hear locally to where I live she talked about collecting and playing marbles with her father when she was growing up. This set has where and when it was purchased and it appears to be complete. I haven't seen this particulate set anywhere.
