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!

Master Tigers Eyes

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!

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.

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.

Here's kind of a neat one... Peltier "Poison Bee"

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

It's Akro Friday ❤️

good Sunday! 🎧 3.mp4

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

Forgot about this one, was with my Popeyes… 5/8” there are 4 black hairs tracking the yellow.

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 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 added a few new marbles to my collection. Thought I'd share ☺️

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!!

Vitro trilite

My best in terms of transitional, Vitro Tiger Eye and German Slag

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!

I have always appreciated the faceted agates. I know that @bumblebee does too. I will never forget the images of workers lying on their stomachs in California, grinding these down and polishing them. It is amazing, the amount of hits that one of these can take and still stay intact. I love to back light this type knowing that they really destroyed a lot of the glass marbles that we all enjoy today. Here are a few images. Marble—On!!

You're Welcome

Ravenswood

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

Types like this are very difficult to ID but I think at that size, it's probably a JABO or maybe DAS.

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

Also 5 5/8” crystal red corks.

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
