Built like a truck, probably weighs 5lbs. 16” tall, we also have its little sister at 12”.

Thanks, Chad. also snagged 2 nice pieces of Blenko. Left 1 in Spokane at the MILs apartment. here is the other, an epergne in seeded chartreuse. Early 50’s I think.

Went to an antique show in Spokane, all from the same dealer, plus an Italian stiletto and a threaded barrel for one of my other hobbies. assuming the 2 small knobs are for window levers? can’t remember who made the marble…🤯 about 13/16”

I use the pistol cases, around 50 mibs per case.

We’ve had “lots of bubbles”, “pieces of firebrick”, “metallic adds”, figured maybe something new would cause people to do a deep dive in the collections…. I’ve got a “Hershey’s kiss” drizzle in mine somewhere, I need to go find to join the drizzle post.

Nice, Very similar!👍

Who’s got the largest bubble in a marble? here is my entry in a 5/8” brushed patch. Hard to photo because it is so large.

I have found my new favorite! Made by Nebo, it is rechargeable using a USB power cord. It can also use 2 AAA batteries in a pinch, but at lower lumens. 2 lighting levels. 500 lumens, on high-mode, on the rechargeable battery. 140 in low-mode. magnetic base to attach to metal, allowing hands free when needed. it also has a neat option to be an area light by pulling up the lens. The picture is on low-mode, high-mode hurts your eyes if you look directly at it. I paid $65, with the holster. The holster has a metal base, securing it. I bought it for work, but it works great in low-mode when prowling antique stores with crammed, dark display cases.

Thanks Tommy, $25 thrift store score! it’s funny how we’ll spend $100s on a marble, but have issues spending $100s on a display case that can store $1,000s of marbles.

The whole display, mibs tend to rotate as new ones come in.

These are in my golf ball display.

Someone needs to create a glass detector, similar to the metal detectors, complete with software to tell you the size, color, maker, and condition🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sneaky mibs…😱 nice one!

Yep, a brick👍👍👍

I was looking harder at one of those blue single seam slags in my earlier post. Neither the seam or white feathering now look CAC to me, looks more Peltish?🤔

Found this hiding in my slags, 5/8”. Super dark red, almost black base. Can’t see the surface pattern until you light it up.

CAC, 2 blue singles and a cherry double.

Looks like it almost got burned? very strange, 5/8” most likely dug, not sure who made it, double seam, looks like oxblood?

Blue/blue 11/16”

Thanks to all of you who responded!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks Tommy! The blue pelt slag to the right of the blue lady was on top, first one out, nice and minty.

Was the 3-vane style produced by American companies? Can’t find my catseye book🥴

3 of the purple 9/16” cats have AV, 3 vanes. Hard to photo…

Thanks Dave! I need to take pics of them, very dark purple. A few look like bananas, but I’m guessing foreign right now. 10 in a single jar is crazy.

This orange cork has a thin purple veneer over the crystal, lots of tiny bubbles.
