My haul from the CT marble show this past weekend. Plus a few from PA (top pic) on our way home to my southern home! VAmarbles

With two recent donations of $100 each from two members, we now have $241 applied toward advanced hosting fees, so about nine months of hosting! It will be seven years next month since @LouisCamp handed me the reigns to the site. To give you an idea how old this forum is, Louis's account was created in June of 2005. I couldn't have kept it going these seven years without the financial support and our moderators. Discussion forums are rare these days, and this forum in particular is priceless in its wealth of information about this great hobby. I hope it will always be around even after I have to pass it on to some some younger collector who is also a tech geek. 😎

Thank you Stonehenge! It seems to have brought some luck for my Vikings. Post your lucky “team” marble if you have one🔥 RAR

Look at the left row of calligraphies in Ron Shepherd's salesman sample box. Where does flame end and calligraphy begin? I would put this marble next to my calligraphies and consider it to be one some days and not one some days depending on how it hit me on that day. It's borderline. Some of the other calligs in this case are less busy than the OP marble, for whatever that's worth.

Well, I guess we can put this “short tail” behind us then😉

Corkscrews with Oxblood

☺️

$20 for this cigar box...the right time and the right place. No way it sat there very long before I spotted it. Snag 😎👍

I've not kept up to date on current marble finds. This used to be quite rare. Has anyone else found one lately?

Not sure why you would make a torch marble and then beat it up and sell it as a near mint marble.

Can I cry now or later

Might as well dream big right

Lousy pic of a mist onionskin

Here's a nice old shrunken onionskin with mica - 11/16" faceted pontils. Not a great pic unfortunately!!

I usually do figurative abstract paintings. I was starring at a blank canvass for about 3 days in my studio when I was in College. My Professor came in and asked what’s up? I said I just can’t get started. He said quit thinking so much and paint something stupid. So. I’ve drawing stupid stuff. I just thought I’d starting posting some. 🔥 Funky chicken Man and Chicken Robot RAR🤪

1. a Powder Blue, Brown, Orange, and Yellow corkscrew 21/32" 2. an Oxblood Spiral, hard to photograph 5/8" Happy Akro Friday y'all

A few nice shooters. Double Ingot Sparkler and Clam 3 color. Water bottle cap in picture for size.

A recently acquired new favorite Akro hand vase .. 3 or 4 color 🤔 My only hand vase 😆 🤣

No Brainer🔥 RAR

Few of my Peltier favorites

Little bonus at 3/4 and some AV🔥 RAR

Lazy Cork....hmmm...it is tricky because it has the traits of both that and a patch....almost going Akro Patch

Looks like a killer Navarra slag to me. It hasn’t been polished 🔥 RAR

Some hard knocks for sure...

That is a Vacor Flame 🙂

Same set, I just had wooden box made for the mibs. It took a while but I did it. No offset av patches all clear stamps, no fleas or dimples, mint, I'm a happy camper

I may have gone overboard, but this is my setup

I'll chime in. I'm still very new to marbles. This was the exact type of jar I bought at the beginning. Now, there may not be a lot of expensive marbles in there, it got me started as to how to sort and identify the more common marbles After you've done this a few times, you start to be able to scan a bottle and see if there are a few great marbles. I agree, 55.00 is way too much for this one. I'd buy this one for 30.00 no problem, and then probably buy 2 more similar jars on my way out...lol Best of luck

Sami’s book says those are in the Fruit Cocktail family 🔥 RAR

I don't regret selling marbles in fact I enjoy it and will do it again soon. When I sold these I thought that if you had seen one Corkscrew you had seen them all but since then I have acquired a taste for them and collect them when I can. I sold each of these one at a time but I wouldn't do it again. 😄

Asta la bye bye

OK. Here it is. There aren’t any mint marbles out there with flea bites and blow holes…..that’s just poor grading in my honest opinion🔥 RAR

I wish I had this
