    .58 SWIRL

    I'm thinking JABO.
  2. I do recall that it was harder than it looked and that the trick was to really give the ball a whack. lol
  3. Looks like it might be a foreign Imperial type to me.
  4. It's a Tiger Eye and not one I would recognize as an Easter Egg but others might, I'm not sure about that.
  5. I'd guess mine and Al's are older poly-bags. They are larger and have Phantom Conquerors in them.
  6. That's a reasonable question but I don't think there is a specific answer. I personally would not use the term for anything 7/8" or smaller - more like 15/16" and up. I think "Shooter" refers to marbles that are bigger than 5/8" but no bigger than 3/4" so I'm not sure what to call marbles bigger than 3/4" but small than 15/16" - maybe just "big ones"? It's a real quandary. lol
  7. That looks like a really fun way to spend some time!
  8. Just to be sure, Boulder is not a specific Vitro name - it's a reference to the size of the marble.
  9. I think it is a mighty fine example from Dave McCullough's 1999 Classic run. It's a mimic of first run JABO Classics. Photo from Dale Simmons.
  10. Literally, "Battle GROUND". lol
  11. I just finished the Sunday crossword and a clue was "Whirling toon, familiarly" - thanks for the timely reminder! 🤣
  12. An odd Vitro Type IV Tiger Eye
  13. I think these are both Cat's Eyes, maybe foreign. The white inclusion you see is a piece of oven brick. And bananas are usually associated with the Peltier marble company, and I do not believe either of these are Peltiers.
  14. Not a Blackie. It looks like a odd Tiger Eye.
  15. This one also looks like a slag to me. But I can't really see enough in the pics to try and determine a maker or weather it is a transitional type.
  16. This one looks like a slag marble to me - perhaps Akro.
  17. I would guess it is since the marbles look like JABOs and foreign Cat's Eyes but I would try to get confirmation from @Al Oregon to be sure.
  18. The first looks like a newer confetti style marble. The second is an old German cane-cut hand-made, an Indian I believe. The third falls among marbles known as West Virginia Swirls. It may be Alley or Ravenswood. The last one is interesting but I would need more pics to tell what it might be.
  19. No, this is a Black Line All Red. The most common Blackies have the same color on both poles, with a (usually) much thicker black band around the middle.
  20. Nice marble, Gladys - really interesting oxblood!
  21. Dang, that's a nice box, Bill!
