It's an Akro Prizename corkscrew.
-
I don't think it's a transitional either.
-
I'm thinking Akro.
-
A new one for my Sunday Best. I found it in one of Bill's Pelt cases and I had to do some pretty smooth talking before he would let me replace it with a Pelt - an Antifreeze no less! And I still feel lucky - it's probably the first marble he's let go of in decades!
-
Maybe a JABO "tankwash"?
-
Nice marble - I'd say it's an Ace variant.
-
Wow, this is some unsettling news. Hang in there and stay strong, William. I will be thinking about you and hoping for the best outcome possible!
-
It's a cool mib but it would be a pretty odd Vitro. I might be thinking MK?
-
Is it opaque? Or what does it look like backlit?
-
It's a great marble, blue and orange is a great color combination. I'd probably have it with my Vitros.
-
I agree that would be a very weird PPP - more likely a WVS.
-
I probably would too.
-
I think the easiest way to explain what I meant is to say this . . . make an "X" with your index fingers and imagine each finger is a seam on opposite sides of the marble.
-
Nice contemporary handmade, Joe. I am not familiar with the artist. Do you know anything more about them?
-
I'm pretty fond of old hand-colored engravings like this one: A Marble Mill on The Untersberg (circa 1870). It will be framed soon.

Hi Dillon, You appear to have a mixture of newer marbles with a few vintage ones in the mix. Many of the cat's eyes look like they are foreign made - most likely Asian. I do not see anything with significant monetary value. I checked off a few that look like they might be vintage American marbles - there may be a few more in there too.

You know I am very hesitant to call Kokomo, especially from pics. But I am about 95% confident on this one - no significant doubt about it.
-
I am very sorry to hear this. My thoughts go out to his family. He was definitely one of the good guys - a very kind man. Jake and I both thought the world of him. May he rest in peace.
-
Easter Eggs are a type of Tiger Eye. I just think the purple color on this one is too dark to fit the bill. I would want to see more lavender or pink.
-
Looks like a Rainbo to me.
-
Kokomo is my guess.
-
It's a nice vending machine. My guess is it's from 60s or later - long after Akro was selling Popeye boxes with a pouch for 10 cents.
-
I'm seeing Vitro too.
-
To me, it appears to be a 3/4" marble from one of the JABO investor runs - not sure which run though.
