I was the first in 3 generations to serve in the 70’s. And the last, except for my new son-in-law, who was a Navy seal. god bless those who served and sacrificed for the USA.

I tried this with some regular floor wax, it tended to melt when you touched it, or the house got warm…

We have some good ones here. But all I found was a bucket of clams🥴

I have walked away from some mibs only to regret it later. I have also bought mibs, only to regret it later…. as long as you learn from your mistakes, it is good.

Probably the first time I’ve seen Ron at a loss for words🤔

I have hundreds of “beginners” like this. Great introduction to collecting.

That one made me laugh, thanks! I can literally visualize it!

You didn’t pay too much if you are happy with it!!! ”Buy it when you see it. It is always an education”

I was thinking possible “Brody” knob, but the large thread negates that.

Gear shift knob, awesome pattern. Haven’t seen this shape before.

I know a certain person who tends to throw marbles like these in parks at night for kids to find later. I do the same on the beach…

Jackpot!!!! That is going to be a lot of fun! keep us posted…

That must be quite the “stash”. What else are you hiding???😁

How long did it take? I tried 2, and after 15 minutes, nada.

It will be interesting to go back when he finds all his marbles. 🤣

Thanks Ric! I’ll get photos, or buy them if the price is right, next time I’m there.

I saw a jar today with 50+ pink, green, blue, yellow pastel benningtons, all around 3/4”. They have the expected eyes, don’t seem to be contemporary’s. I was looking at some sulphides at the time, so I didn’t circle back to it, forgot to take some pics. No idea on price. should I revisit the store? he said he also has a bag(somewhere) of dug marbles from a burned out marble factory. What factory could that be?

Baah….

Nine didn’t backlight with a standard LED flashlight, except at the edges. got curious and found this online. https://oldraremarbles.com/product/unusual-akro-honey-color-cornelian-brick/ they have several others for sale, plus they show sold prices for reference.

This 3/4” has been sitting with my sparklers, but thinking it’s a Master. Regardless, it is a great mib.

I saw the “distortion”, was wondering about it. Maybe attach the hook, dip it in epoxy, then spin off the excess?

I just read the description. Sounds like a strange process we should know more about?

Tempted to buy this one. https://www.etsy.com/listing/684396512/repurposed-vintage-antique-marble?click_key=d43c635b98004f82fcd0d6cd14ed88edec887738%3A684396512&click_sum=c27cb21f&ref=shop_home_recs_67&pro=1&frs=1

Has anyone dealt with this seller? https://www.etsy.com/shop/DrHPCS?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=1189302205 he is using an A-B-C grading system, with +-.

Not my thing anymore, sold most of my Akroware, except for my ashtrays. Blenko is our primary focus now, takes up a LOT of space.
