And then you have the opaque ones These you want 🤓

Not sure why you would make a torch marble and then beat it up and sell it as a near mint marble.

Can I cry now or later

Type 3

Might as well dream big right

I've not kept up to date on current marble finds. This used to be quite rare. Has anyone else found one lately?

Zzzzzzz.....

I posted a boxed Jaques set with 9/16" pink/green onions in August. Here's another late Victorian Jaques set with blue/pink/green onions. Can't imagine how many small onions Jaques must have imported from Germany for their sets!!

Some of mine same colors.

It perfectly fits the type 3 definition as written. It’s a very simple clear description

I see 3 white ribbons and 2 seams so I don’t think it’s a slag. My question is. Is it a CAC striped transparent of some sort🍿🔥 RAR

Wolf this might help give you some basic information on those wild days: https://www.westvirginiamarblecollectorsclub.com/jabo-inc-contract-runs

That is a Vacor Flame 🙂

Not all were made at Jabo. That's where it started but there were other investor runs. After Dave left Jabo, he continued making marbles. Dave's Appalachian Swirls or DAS is one name you'll find when you research these.

Oxblood sparkler with aventurine

No problem Alta, over at AAM we mention and link to threads over here at MC all the time. Years ago there were problem people (mainly one) that caused a great division but that's long gone and over now. AAM is a tool in the bag, same as MC and we should all feel at home at either and both simultaneously. Both are about helping the hobby along. Thanks for your confidence. I still think it's European.

Same set, I just had wooden box made for the mibs. It took a while but I did it. No offset av patches all clear stamps, no fleas or dimples, mint, I'm a happy camper

Type 2

Type 1

I believe it’s Foreign but not a Whispler🔥 RAR

Thanks

Alley IMHO.

Not verry common to find an EOD coat like this, I got a lot of $$ for this one, 1 & 3/16ths a monster for a coat of this type and gem mint, bye bye

I have a decent collection of marbles I set aside going through a lot of assorted Mega Marble bags. Here's a group shot of some I picked out tonight while re-organizing them, I like all kinds but I have an awful lot of fun with these Mexican mibs. I think they are rather pretty sometimes. This white one has a black whale on one side. Just the slightest hint of light blue swirls on the other. Looks mostly all white in hand. It is a crazy White Tiger.

@Melissa will sort this one out for sure. This one is a MK imho--nice one as well!! Marble--On!!

Thanks for including me. I agree with Chad too. These look like Yasudas, or Japanese transitionals. Just to add, crease pontils are typical of Seike, the largest marble maker in pre-war Japan.

1. Blue Spiral 17/32" 2. Green Ringer 21/32" 3. Blue Spiral with the thinnest Green 5/8" Marble Show treasures

That’s an Akro patch that might pop under UV🔥 RAR

You know everyone here is trying so hard to help you identify your marbles, but it can be very hard do on a computer screen. Sometimes just feeling a marble in your hand can make a difference in identifying a marble and as a new collector it is frustrating to learn these subtle details. I remember my first marble show. I was so excited talking to the dealers they were so helpful and there were so many things to see, you should go. But don't forget your friends here☺️

Good to see you here Brother

good grief that is amazing.thanks for posting

Yes 🔥 RAR

Here’s one of my favorites. Cruddy and crude 🔥 RAR

I did a little searching around and think this one is a chameleon 🔥 RAR

I’m all about a Serpent. One thing to remember as far as I know is that 2 different colors of molten glass mixed together does mix like paint to create a different color 🔥 RAR

ZING !!!! Missed it. I was sorting through about 3 gallons of my early (2004)ish sorted Foreign Cats Eyes and look what I found. Oh happy day. This is the only one I have🔥🔥🔥 RAR

MK Hercules🔥 RAR

@Chad G. that is insane AwesomeAwesomeness 👌

...

looks like a bit of everything

How many Jabos do you see in this picture? Is that green in this other oxblood?

Doink🔥 RAR

Killer color combo! Likey likey. Since the ribbons are transparent I think it’s an Alley and not a CAC. I’ll go out on a broken limb and go with Champion as my second choice🔥 RAR

Alley.

Marble Show treasures: 1. Cobalt and Yellow on a wispy White 11/16" 2. Two stream Blue Onyx 5/8" 3. Odd Oxblood and Yellowish corkscrew 19/32" 4. Orange Spiral on a transparent Red base 5/8" 5. Orange Spiral 5/8" That Yellow in #3 makes me think of Harvest Gold appliances from the 70s haha It's almost Akro Friday 🤩
