Yes, I can part with some for those who want one. Not sure on pricing…

Oops, bought the new (my LAST car) car today, so I’m out of the running😏

Looks like 6 varieties now? Middle row

Was rooting around my boulder box where the orange/white were. Found this at 15/16” - the Blue/white Nova?

Tonight was off the beach! Fresh mussels we planted last year. White wine base with garlic, onions, and shallots. walmart 3-cheese garlic knots to sop up the base.

Backlit photo please. I’ve got dark purple cats that look black until backlit.

this is part of 16 I had stashed. Just found out what they were. 7/8”

Link?

Watching it as well. May need to pass on my new car for a few months.

Mystry solved! Only off by 60years or so. Dani and Ernie Kirk to the rescue…🦄 !PELTIER NOVAS!

Some Black/yellow corks.

Ta-da! 3 have ribbons that glow orange, 1 white base and 1 ade.

Simplicity…9/16”

Akro #312 mold

Habitat for Humanity find just now! Houze

That was my thought as well…

From my akro book. The Uniques look like tri-colors? according to Alan, hero’s and uniques were the early patch marbles from the 20’s. Prefreeze.

Please show a few pics from the books.

“Uniques are patches that have an opaque white base with a wispy brushed brown patch covering about one third of the marble, with a small space on the patch that allows the underlying white to show. The Hero is the same type of marble but lacks the space. Both of these are pre-"Freese improvement" marbles. Collectively, these two types are often known as "birds," because when viewed from one angle the patches have a shape suggestive of the breast and head of a songbird. "Grebes" have a reddish orange to orange brown patch; "brown thrashers" have a dark brownish red patch; "golden tawnies" have a yellowish orange to orangish brown patch; and "rainbows" have all the colors seen on the previous three varieties.”

I played tennis as a teenager. We had a community court, and had regular annual tournaments. I played doubles with a neighbor girl and we won the tournament against all the parents. First prize was a weekend bag. I asked her where she wanted to go, her mom came unglued, being a devout Christian. There were at least 60 people there.

I was a printing plant designer. Used to walk the plants in a suit. Got home and realized I had ink on my suit and shoes. Wife liked to kill me for staining the carpet. Divorced her…

“Uni” is the worst sushi. Got my son to try it, he almost barfed in the restaurant. I fell off my chair laughing.

That you love it is what counts.

Found a jar of these maybe 10 years ago. Sold on eBay for $3 each.

Thanks. I looked up marbleAlans page and he talked about uniques and colors variations. The “pinhole” he mentioned is present on a few of them. There is no pic of a unique, haven’t found a pic online.
