Time to sell on the “sell” thread👍👍

This is a tough challenge, may need to break it down into category/makers…🤔

Great site, thanks! I had to buy the alley “bronze snake”. Just too cool to resist.

Here is one I found maybe 15 years ago, always been a puzzler to me. 1-3/8” with melted/sheared pontils. Extremely simple, almost the bare minimum of color to be called a German swirl. So, my unanswerable questions are why, and how did it survive?

Here is a group I bought, along with the case. I think the case is a cigar display, made for Frederick & Nelson.

Some simple corks. Found out the yellow corks at HTF on the thread about hybrids.

Found some… and some black corks as well. I had a lot of these boxes at local antique shows for $25/box, no takers

I seem to remember someone’s girlfriend stole an expensive marble (MK watermelon?) and tried to sell it 3 booths down. The buyer recognized it and she got busted…

That was where we stayed as well. Work has pretty well fried my brain. I have done energy audits on over 400 million SF of commercial properties nationwide since then. My collecting is the only thing that can clear my thoughts and relieve my stress.

OMG, I didn’t recognize you🥴 that was a crazy time for me, thank you❤️❤️

The show was great fun, my first outing since I got divorced. I sold you a box of Vitro No. 0 game marbles there. Don’t the pics anymore, my old PC bit the dust. I’m not sure where Joe got the cullet from, he was working in Atlanta, had just starting out making marbles. We teamed up online, I flew in to Atlanta and we drove up in a van he had rented. Stopped at the Blenko factory and I bought a billet of sea green glass for him to work with. He made a big clearie for me from it, a prize piece. Flights got screwed up and I hitched a ride with someone from the show up to Columbus to fly home. I have tried several times to get there for a show but the work thing never allowed it to happen. Someday…

They present very well but I couldn’t stand it. I need to hold and caress my marbles🤣🤣🤣 my wall cases have plexiglas slides for earthquake protection (PNW), and usually get into them every day.

I bought a couple🥴🥴🥴

Technically AKRO… bought from Joe when we had a booth at the 08 Sistersville show. there was an older guy at the show selling his homemade cherry wine for $3 a bottle out of his trunk, thinking his name was Sonny??

A very light purple cork on a moon or base.

Gladys, I have some of your missing mibs😁😁😁

Haha, I didn’t make it this year either, got jammed up at home. I got it 2 or 3 years ago.

AKRO or Masters? Been in the AKRO stash. 1st marble in 2 pics, 2nd in the last 3. this is in reference to the opaque sparkler mibs.

Yellow on white corks from a previous thread. Close but no cigar, still looking.

Black on green. Mint is from Dani at a local show, beater was from a $5 jar.

Off the top of my head, I’ve got 4 or that that also have a stripe of black. Will let you if I find any🤔

Crap… now I gotta go thru all my akro storage bins🤯🤯 what other color rarities should I be looking for?

Let me know if you want to sell it…

Just found a $1 partner for my 5 hybrids
