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

  5. An important thing to remember, NO one is right all the time when it comes to marble identification. Bob Block, Chuck Sumner, the amazing Ron Shepherd and others sometimes miss the mark. Keep an open mind when you get opinions regarding marble ID’s.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. 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

  15. Here is my latest score and I am happy!! I won this on Ebay for 60 Canadian dollars, whatever that equates to..lol. Pennsboro calligraphy, the colors on listing ws not what you see here at all, so I was really surprised when I received it, just a beauty. Thanks for looking!

  17. Sunsets are on a clear base glass. They can have one red,yellow or orange ribbon but always have one white ribbon. I hope that helps🔥 RAR

  18. Looks more like a swirl. Not Akro, not slag. Likely WVS, unsure of maker. Let see what others think.

  19. Not Akro. Alley or RW would be my guess. Let's see what others think.

  20. I have a big CAC collection and I do think this marble could be Christensen. I think the "9" you are referring to is a 'turkey head'. That doesn't make it more valuable, however. Alley made some flames that are very hard to differentiate from CAC.

  21. I’m starting to really like these. I always favor marbles with textured surface glass and raw/crude seams🔥 RAR

  22. I'm a little early if that's OK? Ignore that big amber slag 😊

  23. My favorite G & Y Popeye, I paid $20.oo for this one 18 years ago. Wet mint, not a flea or dimple on it. Purple and Yellow is still my fav. Popeye color combo. My favorite Purple and Yellow, a few tics but the whispy strands are killer in this one.

  27. 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".

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

  30. Terry #1 is definitely an Akro cork, common colors but an uncommon pattern, nice mib; #2’s pic just didn’t load fully, but the colors also look decidedly Akro’ish. As for any other ‘corking’ marbles you find, put’em in your Akro pile and 99% of the time you won’t be wrong.

  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.

  34. Boxed John Jaques solitaire set with pink/green onionskins. Jaques must have imported large numbers of small onions for their boards because I have others with this style of marbles and have seen many more. Also a good clue to identifying likely all original sets.

  37. Hello friends, I'm Sean. I'm from Canada, and am still pretty new in the hobby. When I start something new, I jump in with both feet, as seen in my marble ID posts. I've learned a ton here already and really appreciate all the help I have received. In real life, I've been a mental health nurse for 33 years. Married for 28 years (wife in picture) with 2 boys in university. Other hobbies are photography, golf, and thrifting. Thank you for including me in your little world!
