I got a large marble collection from a local woman who had collected for many years. She must have liked pinks, purples, lavenders, and pastel colors in general because I found a lot off those kind of colors in her collection. This is one of them. Are these colors less common?

I tend to agree. But there could be a few interesting, likely not valuable, older marbles in the bunch. Heck, I love looking at marbles. If I saw that group laying somewhere, I'd look through them, for sure.

Forgot a pic! . . . kind of red^^?

Simply sweet!

Nice marble, Bill. I'd keep that one! Turns out, it's hard to find a good "R"! I am big a fan of the Vitro-script "V"s and that's a nice one!

What's that spell? 🙂

That last one is really nice, Jess.

Those big ones are kind of hard to find in good condition - the glass is a bit soft.

I found a few 2x-6x ingots in a lot of other stuff I bought in Illinois quite a few years ago - they seem like "lunchbox marbles", since all are nice and smooth (not necessarily round) and in excellent condition (i.e., they don't look dug to me). I posted that big 6X with the little nub earlier (it's now Bill's). Volume calculations confirm it is as close as you could get to 6 X 5/8" marbles (it's about 1 1/8" and near perfectly round, except for that little nub). It's been fun to pull the matching marbles out of my collection or purchase them later These are my favorite type from the bunch: The big one is the X-ingot. The others are 5/8"

Here is a Cannonball from peltiermarbles.info: https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c4f030_fce257bdb56c4917af87d399834ab2bd~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_765,h_765,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/c4f030_fce257bdb56c4917af87d399834ab2bd~mv2.webp

Nice Royals! 1"

Heck man - I'd of kept those salmon 6 fingers . . . Just don't call it a cat's eye - unless you really want to get Chuck G. going.

I like the salmon color . . .

Hey Bill, That brown one's odd . . . kinda looks Kokomo - it's seems the right kind of oogly.

That's a nice case of Rainbos. I guess not a lot of people collect them because so many of them are common. I don't really collect them either. Al has a nice collection of metallic ones - that's where a few of mine have gone - I usually keep the oxbloods though. I just keep some around because I really like to sort marbles, and Rainbos are great for that!

Those are great, Chad. I especially like the Joseph's Coat. It's always fun to find AV in less usual places.

And I'll bet this one has finally found its proper home.

There are a bunch a nice ones here, Ron. But this ^one^ is an exceptional marble!

That's a nifty marble. I have seen similar green ones that folks say are Master Marbles. I've seen the green swirly ones too- no idea where those came from. But the only black one's I have seen like yours I was convinced were foreign - sort of an Imperial type. If I looked hard enough, I might be able to find one or two around here but I must say, I have not laid eyes on them in years . . .

That'll work!

Wow, that's a nice marble!

Don't drop that one on your toes, Bill!

Blue enough, nice one! More red and white, less blue, but . . .
