  1. Great marble, Chad - way to start the day!
  2. It's a pretty crazy thought but the chocolate covered marbles have me thinking about a candy coating.
  3. Marbles are toys first, and they need to roll straight. I am sure that was and is the most important thing for any manufacturer.
  4. I think purple on Pelts is very uncommon, in general.
  5. Can you clarify this Art? Do you mean 75 augers to one spiral or vice versa?
  6. I found a red one in with my clearies.
  7. As far as I know, MFC bricks are oxblood and it is also found on old German handmades like this one . . .
  8. Here is a good pic Gladys posted that shows oxblood. Once you've seen it in hand, you'll not forget it.

    I'm so proud

    Well, she should not want for toys. I had a friend whose cat would sit on the back of the couch and bat a wad of paper you pitched to her. She would do it for like an hour, and she never missed. Her name was Babe.
  10. Not oxblood or Akro - maybe Heaton.
  11. They are not rare and most folks would consider it as-made damage.
  12. Go to the search bar (magnifying glass icon) and search "Moody blue", in quotes, or check the HTF and rare marbles page here.
  13. I think a lot of the specks are dirty hit marks.
  14. This is a Rainbo, not a Moody Blue. Moody Blues have a muddy orangish base glass.

    A strange one

    That first one might be a Whispler. And you sure did find a Vitro Tiger Eye too.
  16. They are VHS tapes. I think I've seen some sell on ebay before though. I don't think anyone has digitized them, but I am not certain about that.
  17. That does suggest pre-1940 then.
