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 ❤️

1.25" Leighton "Horizontal"

1.25"+ Leighton "Navarre"

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!

Master with aventurine 3/4”

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

Marble King Sunset

Marble King Sunrise

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.

I’ve never heard this name before but I am told this is an orange creamsicle.

Akro, A Yellow cork on a transparent Orange base! The only one I have, and the only one I've seen, pretty neat.

Happy Saturday!

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 “.]

I agree with you and your statement. The German handmade marbles and the “Stone Agates” were the main competition at the time the glass marble industry started in the USA. Notice that many USA marble companies used the term "Agate" to describe their glass marbles. Good observation here— Nice “Master Made” as well. Thanks for sharing it along with your thoughts. Marble—On!!

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

I am aware of some old handmade styles which could be deemed confetti. But almost any confetti you would run across in the wild would be a modern marble.

I support Akro.

Ruby slipper

Agree. Have been watching Stephen Bahr videos on many different makers.... also have some books. My marble group members (Midwest Marble Club) have also been helpful to the newbie with 1000+ marbles. I've had them for about two years but illness and death in my family kept me from really diving in. Thus, just kept acquiring when could in hopes I would get to them someday. Someday finally arrived this winter and I'm surrounded by marbles in plastic cases with little slips of paper and scrawled names! I've learned a lot but know just tip of the iceberg. I'm looking to purchase a copy of the book "Peltier Glass Toy Marbles"... know expensive, but did spring for the CAC red one and LOVE IT. Also trying to find the Peltier Marble poster from Stephen Erst, but I'm late to the game in trying to get that as well and striking out. I bought two jars of Vacor recently but again late to the game to get book For the Love of Vacors. But I'll keep looking for them all and hope to score yet. Really appreciate this forum as I'm not on facebook. Thanks y'all!

Vitro lilac.

Wow!!!!! I won! Now will you give them all to me? 🤣

Ravenswood or Alley, leaning Alley IMO, West Virginia Marble either way

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

Love the colors

9/16" to 1-7/16" . I really would like to get my hands on a nicer horizontal Navarre. There was a member years back that had a nice handful, not sure if he's still around

My version (😥) also 1-1/4”

I'm still looking for some of those hybrids. If anyone has any, let me know. And thanks again for the video Stephen!

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

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!
