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!

Charlie and I have been wanting this for some time now and we got on ebay and we can't wait till it comes in. Just so awesome! I'm excited very excited. We love it! Have a blessed day. GOD IS SO SO GOOD!!!🙏✝️🙏

Its not sounding my JABO memory, but It could still be. Vitro is my guess.

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"

Happy Saturday!

newbies.

Hi,Alta Wow, I'd love to see these two in hand. In my opinion these are two Masters The second one is nice, type a helmet, I would like to have it😊 I will show some pictures of the second kind, Master Whisplers, considered relatives of Master, precisely because of their similar characteristics. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell them apart, precisely because of their similarity. However, in my opinion, the joints of Master are more pronounced, deep, and clear, so clean, as well as having glass that is much less bubbly and sparkling, in summary. As I mentioned, whisplers in general show (as you can see in the images above) an exaggerated amount of bubbles that the Masters do not have. Then, there might be the exception where in some cases they could be indistinguishable from each other, especially when viewed on a monitor, but generally they can be distinguished. I repeat, the key point for the distinction is the bubbles, in transparent whispers, although it is not an absolute rule. Less sharp and clean seams in the matte ones, compared to Master As for the color palette, I wouldn’t pay much attention to this, as both types of marbles have the same earthy colors. Now, I am not an expert on the matter, I just wanted to give my personal impression on it to be helpful, and I hope it is appreciated. Thanks again to everyone for your attention!

Here's an unusual one..

And I am thinking Vitro... Agree with pretty awesome mib either way!

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.

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

Akro, A Yellow cork on a transparent Orange base! The only one I have, and the only one I've seen, pretty neat.

A couple of mine ::

I like those oxblood Akro dishes, etc.

A study in blues on this Pelt Tuesday

Here's the type of Master I was mentioning, helmet-style (as I consider it)

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

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

Jabo to me, or one of the relatives such as DAS. I do not know all the possible runs it could be attributed to but April Fling seems like a good guess here. @Nantucketdink?

A Jabo we recently added and some MK and this pretty little box

You need to find an auction house that’s close by that uses the Hidbid Platform. I take mine to Past Chapters in Richmond VA. The Auctioneer/house has to obviously agree for you to consign with them. You might want to look at What-Not if your a DYI person.

Thank you for the ID and the explanation. Sometimes just an ID doesn't help me understand why.

You're Welcome

You're welcome, I appreciate it! It makes me happy and proud to know about the usefulness of this thread

Approx 13/16" enjoying the sunshine

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

I'm still looking for some of those hybrids. If anyone has any, let me know. And thanks again for the video Stephen!

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

X2, Peltier Rainbo

Didn’t pass…2-hr drive each way. 1-3/8” rabbitt 5/8” Indian (some banding glass loss) 15/16” solid core 7/8” corn husk 2 5/8” gooseberry same cane 7/8” onion w/lutz 11/16” peppermint onion Paid twice what he wanted, we are both happy!!

Vitro

I don't know if anyone here has discovered these yet, but they are tremendous videos. They are done by Jeff Baker and Cody Kemph as "Keepers of the Marbles". So far it's a 5 part deep dive into Onionskins with tons of great info, clearly explained. And the marbles! The marbles are insane! A must watch. Highly recommended.

Enjoy

But, my all-time favorite is this one, because it reminds me exactly of Popeye's cheeks! Don't you think?

3/4

Treasure chest.
