Sammy's Mountain Marbles Third Test Run, 09-05-2012.

I'm thinking this might be a Heaton, Charlie.

That's really cool, Chad - a memorable gift, for sure. How big is that marble? I'm trying to get a handle on how big the statue is.

Has anyone ever seen Peltier peewees in a bag or a gift box? The only time I have seen them outside of singles, or piles of singles, is as roller-balls in (cardboard?) tube "applicators" (I don't recall if they were for lip balm or perfume or what) and I have seen some pretty cool marbles used in those applicators too - not just clearies. Does anyone have any examples of intact "applicators" they could post?

Wow, that's a dandy marble, Bill!

It goes with the big Ming Check Chinese Checker board . . . Ron's (RIP) box . . .

I'm pretty sure you're right - Vitro. Game marbles, I think.

A few Veiligglas

Just a few more Vitros

Sammy's Mountain Marbles Second Test Run, 07-25-2012.

Vacor was my first thought, even though it sure does have a Peltier look to it.

A 3/4" Pete McMillan Special from the first run of contract marbles at JABO, January 1999.

A few JABO contract marbles from Ed Parsons (RIP) Furnace Wash, June 1, 2010.

Since Melissa recently started a DAS and Jabo thread, I thought we should show Sammy some love too! Sammy's Mountain Marbles First Test Run, 07-04-2012. These are from Mr. Hogue's first run of Sammy's Mountain Marbles.

It's a looker, for sure, and I have not seen too many others like it.

I'm not sure this is an American marble. If it is (and that's a big IF), I'd probably be thinking about an odd Vitro game marble.

It looks more like an Akro (Moss Agate) to me. The bit of "yellow" might make it slightly more interesting to some. I would want to know the size it and if there is any AV in the green before I considered making an offer on it. Shipping costs would be important too, since some marbles are barely worth that.

I DON'T want any of the marbles but I have to say . . . that Santa rendering is awesome!

Well, that's different, for sure. I've not seen a paperweight like it before. I wonder if there is any significance to the "arrowhead" backdrop that the cross is on?

It looks like an Akro Corkscrew with a little clear in it.

West Virginia Marble Collector's Club run (April 2011) The marbles around the base are 3/4". The 2" sphere and stand were made by Andy Davis using glass from the run. I no longer own it.

Welcome to the Marble Connection - what a great bunch of Veiligglas! I look forward to seeing more of your collection.

Asian seems right to me too - a bit of an Imperial look to it.
