Carrying fossilized poop around is a little different than carrying marbles but I can see why you would if it's from your Grandfather. Oddly enough, my wife's Grandfather gave me a coprolite he found on his Illinois farm long ago. But it's too big for pocket talisman. I've got my magic bean for that.

It's a little sloppy - tough to make out the seams.
-
is this a nice big "phantom conqueror". .94 inches!
Ric replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I agree. -
I think it's probably foreign.
-
Maybe I should have added, " . . . away from my marbles and photos." It's not like I'm stuck and I can't get out. 😆

Show your Cats eyes---or other pets--LOL

Who . . . Me? Great looking pooch. 😆 -
Sometime after 1958, not earlier ones from St. Mary's.
-
I think it's a nice example of a Pennsboro Alley.
-
It's a patch, a veneered Victory-style marble, at least. I think old-timers may have referred to them as "Spots" but that term is no longer used as far as I know. It's probably older than the more common Victorys.
-
Yes, a Tiger Eye - looks to be opaque Type IV.
-
There can be AV in these types. I don't know if there is in your marble, but I'd recommend looking for it in the green.
-
Maybe Vacor but the pics are a little too small and out of focus for me to see much detail.
-
I think it might be an Ace with a base that's just a little different - maybe a tiny bit of blue streaking in there, but not a Prizename.
-
Yes, it's a Type I.
-
Could probably be a few different companies, including Champion.
-
if a vitro has four colors is it considered a parrot?
Ric replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I don't see any Parrots- mostly Blackine All Reds and Tiger Eyes, nice selection of big Vitros though! -
I think it may be Japanese transitional, perhaps Yasuda, and that there is a creased pontil buried in that damage.
-
I agree - a Conqueror with weak white coverage.
-
what would this particular vitro be called? .84 thanks
Ric replied to Jeremysvt's topic in Marble I.D.'s
It's a Black Line All Red - the older type of All Red. -
That seems like a really bright yellow for Master on the second one - I wonder about Akro possibilities. Either way, it's a very nice marble.
-
I think it might be a variation of "Spin Jenny", which, as far as I understand, involved spinning a wooden dreidle-like top to knock mibs into the point holes.
-
That's a great Tiger Eye, Gladys- any AV in that green?
-
My favorite day am I'm stuck in a hotel. But I'm enjoying the great WVS - thanks for showing them!
