At a loss on this one… Vitro?

Happy Saturday!!! Found at a garage sale… 15 1” Akro Uniques 3 peewee germans pelts and Alleys 1 akro limeade 1 akro corkscrew 3 semiopaque handmades and others.

This was a large plastic jar of mibs I bought today at a garage sale. Saw some akros, pelt rainbos, and WVS…not cats and one or two game mibs. Plus one large Alley swirl on the bottom. Lady was using them for art projects, I told her I’d buy them and bring her back the jar full of other marbles for her projects. She was trying to raise money for a new washer, so I offered her $100. She was shocked as was her daughter. Didn’t want anymore marbles, so off I went. this is 5/8”, never seen this surface before.

I would except nothing less from you🤣🤣🤣

$179 and rising…

You have a great eye, and pocket book!👍👍

Time to donate!!! this site is priceless, just donated to keep it running.

Did you sell your car, house, or soul??? saw the 2CACs you also posted👍👍👍

That was my thought!!!

This is what I get🤣🤣🤣 https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/grd/d/chehalis-dexter-breeding-bull/7614014731.html

SSSLLLOOOWWW SSSUUUNNNDDDAAAYYY…..

What else would they be? Assuming the era is correct, you would be looking at cane marbles? Why would someone hide cane marbles?

That is not something I’d stake my life on😱😱😱

Like most packaged mibs, the question is…Do you open it?

He has incredible mibs for sale! I miss Alan, he was quite the character. Having a raccoon as a pet says a lot about a person.

Given it’s a fragment of something bigger, at 18”x~10”, not thinking a bed warmer. back to square 1 for me…

Always loved the Chinese poppies, my Mom used to grow them.

Very interesting offer. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1404911296/rare-antique-clay-bennington-in-original?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=marbles&ref=sc_gallery-1-7&frs=1&plkey=71d6f8b3d6a725b235ca758b36828449bbe3be31%3A1404911296

That’s why I bought it, it was “Un-Vacor-ish”

Two-seams, no orange-ring surface. one of those impulse purchases🥴 thought it was a shift knob at first.

When we bought the property, it had a 2,800SF 7-bedroom “party house” for a wealthy attorney. The neighbors hated it when it was turned into a BNB, too much noise and stupid people. We tore it down and built our dream home to display our collection of Blenko glass.

You have the same “serenity” view, it calms the mind.❤️❤️ it is priceless for peace of mind.

Do you think they are not AKRO? Confused as to why someone would go to the trouble to mimic a sparkler, then deform it? what am I missing??🤔

Nope, they stay in the pots. Being next to hood canal, we rarely have extended freezes. The yard is artificial grass for the dogs, and me not having to mow it. Also keeps the moles and rabbits out, as well as the ducks and geese. went for low maintenance, and not having to get on our knees. I mostly work from home, so I spend a lot of my time analyzing projects while sitting on my deck.
