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.

Robin

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

Yes I have bought the few marble mansion made sets I have come across and they are in my collection.

The one on the left is an inch.

Oh I really like this one. So glad for all the close up shots too! Wonderful collection and great video you put together. Thank you! Click on the link to You Tube Worlds Largest Marble King Collection - Curated by George Armann The sound effects and background music is always a plus. You are a funny one Stephen, I'm a big fan. Thanks!

Akro tri color i believe. Cool one 👍🏼

Added one more sunrise to the group

Vitro trilite

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

For Akro Friday! The first one is 11/16", the second is 23/32", and I'm pretty sure that last one, the Blue is 5/8"

And just a few more

Agree with the modern (post 1980s) verdict

The gold is a lovely shade which makes me think of MFC but the white looks translucent enough to stop me from feeling confident that it could be MFC batch glass. Signed, Not a handgathered specialist

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

Seemed so simple... Marble King Bumble Bee... but when I went to put them with "known" others... they don't quite look the same. Headed as the newbie to a marble show in a month and want to be sure I have labeled correctly.... opinions welcome!! Thank you. A = .63 B = .66 C = .69 D = .62

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!

These MK have fantastic colors, I’ll have to decide to chase them more..

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

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.

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

And finally the wonky one.

My favorite, 3/4”. Original surface, not polished.

Give this a try… Take a black sharpie marker and black out the signature area. Let it dry. Rub the glass surface with your thumb-pad to remove the marker on the smooth surface. The remaining black in the grooves will help the signature stand out. Repost a picture with the black signature. First guess = Sonny Miller Best of luck!

#2 is a divided Ribbon core, not sure if there is another core inside the ribbons on #1 or not, if not a really nice Divided core also with some excellent twist action, verry symmetrical. Both divided Ribbon core from what I can make out from the pix but like I said not positive on #2 ? Might be a tri level (three stage) my brain is on underdrive tonight

Vitro

If you got these from Canada as well then not much doubt they are Wisplers.
