    Is that crusty-looking stuff around base of the nub stone or does it look like dried adhesive? I wonder if that was a decorative knob or something similar, and if that little ridge at the base of the nub was there to hold glue, since it doesn't impress me as a very good marble for play - just doesn't seem like it would roll very well.

    HELP

    Ric replied to Dawnr's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    I too am sorry for your loss. The marbles are foreign and newer and are likely limited to having only sentimental value.

    That one is unused. But this one has a nice message on it.
  4. Ric
    The brown one looks like some sort of onyx, maybe - with a bit of a nub on it?

    Can anyone show me a pic or describe a Vitro Tomato? I think they're big marbles, red-orange would be my guess but . . . ?

    It was a good find, Tommy. They're getting harder and harder to come by.
  7. Ric
    That's a really good question, Tommy. Truck loads of marbles were used constructing the place. Maybe they just dumped them in the lake and let the kids find them as they washed up on the beach or maybe they're now entombed in the concrete of Navy Pier.

    Chad'll be looking a good long time to find Waldo in this pic. lol And I'll give you a hint . . . huge arched windows full of marbles! If I saw that place as a kid, I probably wouldn't have been able to control myself. Can you imagine how awesome that must have been, especially if you were 3-4 ft tall? Wow!

    You know, I do see what Ron saw on that first one - it does look like it could be an odd Vitro with weak colors. But I am going with foreign on all of the marbles here, other than the first Vitro and the MK.

    Can you spot the Master Marbles House?

    They're are some decent marbles in the bunch, and some of the Tangerine Slags sure fit that bill. These gotta be the "Ole" Fashions, Ron - my bad!
  12. Ric
    Me too, it's almost a problem!

    I'm pretty sure that Charlie Stutsman (RIP), who named and sold a lot of these NOFs in the 1990s would have referred to 6 of those as "Tangerine Slags" - you've got a nice variety of that type.

    They all look like Champion New Old Fashions to me.

    Nice - the blue ox are great!

    Given the two-patch structure, rather than patch and ribbons, I would say that MK is the newer style. And that first marble is pretty cool - kinda messy, but cool, for sure.
  18. Ric
    I'm getting a Vitro vibe from the first one, but it'd be a bit of an oddball - maybe a cosmic rainbow??? The second looks foreign to me and the third does look MK.
  19. Ric
    It sort of looks like there might be two ribbons running together on one side of the first marble - like maybe one under the other. Weird stuff like that happens on Pelts some times.

    I'd say there's a good chance it's from Sistersville.
  21. Ric
    It's a WV Swirl. I would say Heaton or Cairo but . . . ?
  22. Ric
    What about these, one page up? 😉 The middle three look related, for sure. Is yours 11/16" too?
  23. Ric
    I think this one is odd - sort of a citrusy rainbo
  24. Ric
    This is a dandy marble. I have a general rule . . . if you find a Tri-lite with good black on it - keep it! They aren't that easy to come by.
  25. Ric
    For comparison, most of these are Tri-lites.
