I seem to remember Bert from FLA having tears in his eyes after getting a couple at the 2008 Sistersville show.

Pics?

Not seeing AKRO or Vitro….🤔🤔🤔

I need to see it in hand, send it over😁 looking peltish to me

I remember Galen Wilcox saying he would throw marbles on playgrounds for kids to find. Living on the beach, I like to shoot marbles onto the beach with my wrist rocket. The neighborhood kids routinely wander the beach, not sure if they have found them yet.

We sell antiques at local shows. I always bag up a bunch of mibs for the kids, along with a cigar box to keep them in. I give them away until gone. The look on the kids faces is priceless when getting a free gift. The parents are also appreciative for something that is physical, not a video game. hopefully someday when I sell my collection, those kids will be there.

Was it this pic? Glad to have been able to share.

I thought you could only have AKROs in an AKRO bowl😱😱😱

I went thru a 5gallon jug of mibs one day for a local dealer, probably spent 3 hours separating and pricing for her. I told her at the outset that I would not be offering to buy any of them, I was just having fun doing it. At the end of this, she gave me about 20 of the most collectible mibs as payment. I was humbled.

So, how do you sleep at night🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice score!!! So, how many marbles were there in total? Typically, IMHO 10% or so are keepers like you posted…

Don’t you need a permit for that many😆😆😆😆

Here’s some of mine. I’ve got one that is similar to the “French drain” example. Not sure where it came from.

We just had a few similar bill ourselves…still cheaper than real kids, IMHO.

This one is now on eBay…much cheaper https://www.ebay.com/itm/324753373278?hash=item4b9ccf385e:g:mPkAAOSwS~BhGCZS

And it can be yours😱😱😱 https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=180091

So close, yet…. I did find an old cane today made of black ironwood for $22, so that eases the pain a little. Tested it in my hot tub, it sank like a rock🤣

He also has a bunch of old canes and over 200 knives, so the agony is killing me.

Looks like a citrus? Regardless, great score! I had a great lead last year and bought a few, was waiting for the seller to show me the motherload. Seller moved, and won’t respond to VMs. Absolute AGONY😱😱😱😱

The top one has “Berry Pink” vibes, but the size is wrong.

I see these 2, top and bottom

The originals have steel inserts, contemps have aluminum. Or so I’ve been told.

At that $ I’d sell mine😁

Has anyone heard the rumors about switching out streetlight bulbs for black lights? Playing marbles at night would be interesting🤔

My wife says she is going to start giving me stuff from my collections as Xmas presents since I can’t remember everything I have🤣🤣🤣
