Purchased, it will be staying at home for a while. I had to have a friend pick it up for me.

Can you post a picture of the page? thanks

Wristrocket ammo😜

Crapola! It was listed at $400, so a good deal I think. We are done shopping today, and leaving tomorrow morning.😢

Did they show a price? all my reference books are boxed up in the garage🤬

Testing... it was listed as Vitro🤔 you get a “A”👍

Too cool, never seen one before. value?

My go-to guy is Joe Schlemmer, AKA Madmanmarbles. http://www.joemarbles.com/1Marble Picture Pages/23Contemporary/Joe Schlemmer/Joe Schlemmer 001/1 Joe Schlemmer Large Pages/Joe Schlemmer 1-01.htm We met through the boards and joined up, shared travel expenses on a trip to sistersville in 2008 when he was in Atlanta. We both had a great time, even stopped in the Blenko factory in Milton, WV. My wife and I are thinking about doing it again in 2019.

That depends on your free time, and funds. Also how many antique stores are along the way🤔. getting started will leave you shaking your head 10years later when you look back and wonder why you bought all those common marbles. i sold 2 5 gallon buckets a few years back at a local show to someone looking to occupy their time and learn the hobby.

I Also found an example in green/white last month. AKRO examples have 10 panels. There are 8 panel, and round examples by others, usually Houze.

Here is a AKRO car ashtray in oxblood. pretty rare I think. Darker in hand.

Slingshot ammo? back in the 60’s we used to take an old steel sprinkler head with a 5/8” ID steel pipe nipple on it and make a marble shooter. Slide a firecracker down the tube with the fuse out the sprinkler outlet. Insert marble, light fuse, and boom! This will break windows and put holes in doors (yes, personal knowledge) so treat it like a loaded gun🤔

been away from this hobby too long

Thanks Steph. i always thought patches when I hear “Moss agate”.

This is a hard one to photograph, there is a definite single straight seam. dont remember seeing such construction by Vacor? may need to take it to the next local show. thanks Steph

Didn’t get the Vacor vibe on this one but... Thanks for your feedback Dusty, all on posts.

Some clear, some milky, weird hybrid.... it might come down to it depending on who owns it..🤔

odd colors...

white filiments but kind of "acey" at the same time.

CAC?

Haha.... any movement on that? Asian works for me, putting it all out at a local antique store. Start high and discount from there. Their commision/rent is lower than eBay fees.

These look like they were made by Peltier, kind of a "ranbow" pattern. Any help is appreciated. I finally decided to start emptying out the foot locker(s) and de-clutter some.

Guess I need to get out more..... thanks!

Small bag, the green/black cork drew my attention. Looks to be a dug example? I have a similar example I bought from Zaboo a few years back at a show, but the green in that is translucent. this is opaque. How common is this color-combo?
