  1. @Fire1981 mentioned this to me a while back. I have now assembled what I have...21 in all colours and sizes. These are definitely one of my favorites

  2. The weirdest thing yet that I have pulled from an assorted net bag. This is a totally veneered pattern with a bit of an amber glow in the transparent base when held to light. It is 21/32. I have heard older Vacors are sometimes found in net bags? Well anyway, I have never seen anything that remotely resembles this marble that came from Mexico. I thought "What's a Vitro Tri-Lite doing in here?" but this is so odd. And I do think it is actually very pretty.

  4. I finally won my first and only lot thus far with Blocks auctions last night and I am glad to add any Marble Kings to my stash. I see a good number of Bumble Bees and Cub Scouts in here which always widen my eyes. Looks like there might be some Cubs that are Kato type. Someday I will get a few of the harder to find Blended ones and the likes of Spidermans, Green Hornets, Dragonflys, Watermelons, and Hercules. For now, all the kids at recess will be so jealous of me, trying to win my Marble King Rainbows. Image is from Mr. Blocks auction 01/25/2026.

  10. My winning auction bags arrived today that appear in the post just prior to Alta's purty mibs above. They are now surrounded by a bunch of 1 inch and player size brown rainbows that are more modern Marble Kings in this large Riker case. I find the bags hold about 15 Bumblebees and 15 Cub Scouts and a few oddsters. They will be serving their time, imprisoned in the bags as long as I am warden. Guilty of being cool.

  16. X2, MFC, I don't think it's polished, all the dimples have smooth edges, just someone took good care of it and it never got played. Surface looks natural to me, you can even see a few wrinkles.

  20. Caged solid core, what's the size ?? I see one bubble pop and 2 fleas, otherwise a pretty clean marble. Unfinished pontils and on both ends helps me date it to between 1870 or so and 1910. The size is probably around 11/16ths, just guessing though, most of these were made by the Germans for the English gameboard market, the brighter colors also help date it. Dollars to doughnuts it was part of a gameboard set at one time.

  24. but because I found these guys, my marbles are now coming together, they have made it easier to id myself and they put up with my lousy, fuzzy pictures, and I truly have appreciation for these marble collectors for doing what they are doing, it is a great bunch of people with great knowledge I'm glad I came here for help!

  25. Way too much. Those were going for 35 each not long ago. I've seen them hit 80+ lately and I wouldn't pay that but 225 seems way too high. Prices are nuts these days though.

  27. Flicker has a good memory. There were Hurricanes that were packaged for Europe with the name Africa on the header. Here are two pics of the Don Juan bag (Netherlands) and a very rare Mega bag with the Africa name that "slipped through" the Guadalajara "checkpoint" that Pete was able to get prior to the 2003 time frame when I bought it from him.

  32. correct, this one is 100% CAC, no fading and good CAC structure, they're getting better and better at imitating, it's getting verry hard to tell. No color fading here, nice marble !!

  36. Cac- Black horn I think the coloring of this goes well with the cullet and MIB from the last two images.

  37. Here's a couple other images of the sorted trays. I just like using odd ice cube trays when sortring. There are a bunch of Vitro Conquerors and some Tri-lites and the some of the swirls are absolutely super cool. About a half dozen Peltier Rainbows. The images just don't capture them well at all. A good number of the Vitros light up under UV too. That's a bonus. I think there are some Opals and also there are Akro Moonies and maybe a few patches incl a Moss Agate I suspect.

  38. Remember guys this is just the I.D. section, if you have any deals to make or discus PM each other, pictures should be for I.D. purposes only. Exchange emails' if you want to look at each others pix and make sales deals or discus prices, this is an I.D. forum only. This haggling about worth and prices should be on a PM or email basis not on this forum. Worth and cost should not come into play here. Any more posts about prices and deals between each other here will possibly be deleted or you will receive a warning, everybody has to adhere to the same rules, we may miss some but that will happen, trying to be as nice as I can about this but the warning has officially been issued.

  39. Nothing exceptional, but this AV-loaded marble identified as MK, I found it in a group of marbles from the latest Heaton dig while I was cleaning them. Here is Ron Shepherd's comment during the identification... "I agree. We know that possibly Heaton and for sure that Jack Bogard bought and sold marbles, and cullet with Marble King. I also know for sure that Jack Bogard bought marbles and equipment from Ravenswood. That was according to a talk with Jack by myself. The same day he showed me a set of Ravenswood machine rolls he bought at Ravenswood." Below, I also show a small video to better highlight the aventurine 1.mp4

  42. Aventurine can come in many apparent colors, blue, red, green etc. The key is the glitter like glassy sparkle to identifying it. Some marbles contain more than one color of Aventurine. Av can be added to a marble during manufacturing or be a result of a chemical reaction in the glass during manufacturing.
