  1. It could well be a Champion with more than its fair share of yellow.
  2. Yes, I see the light purple.
  3. That's right. The smaller poly bags are mostly, if not all, Tiger Eyes. But there aren't any in the mesh or older poly bags.
  4. Ric

    .58 SWIRL

    I'm thinking JABO.
  5. I do recall that it was harder than it looked and that the trick was to really give the ball a whack. lol
  6. Looks like it might be a foreign Imperial type to me.
  7. It's a Tiger Eye and not one I would recognize as an Easter Egg but others might, I'm not sure about that.
  8. I'd guess mine and Al's are older poly-bags. They are larger and have Phantom Conquerors in them.
  9. 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
  10. That looks like a really fun way to spend some time!
  11. Just to be sure, Boulder is not a specific Vitro name - it's a reference to the size of the marble.
  12. 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.
  13. Literally, "Battle GROUND". lol
  14. I just finished the Sunday crossword and a clue was "Whirling toon, familiarly" - thanks for the timely reminder! 🤣
  15. An odd Vitro Type IV Tiger Eye
  16. 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.
  17. Not a Blackie. It looks like a odd Tiger Eye.
  18. 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.
  19. This one looks like a slag marble to me - perhaps Akro.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
