  1. I am not seeing CAC. It looks more Master to me.
  2. They're all nice. That center one is interesting. I'd really like to see the one that's barely showing! Here's a weird one:
  3. How big are those? Some of them do look like double ingots - others just look like nice big Pelts!
  4. Nice lutzes! Some JABOs are full of it. In fact, I don't have many lutz marbles other than JABOs around here.
  5. That's really cool, Mibber, it looks like an art sculpture! Newer Marble King Pixie Dust marbles: I think they're very nice.
  6. I really like Vitros . . . but is it red? ^^^This guy represents the team now. Nice onion skin too!
  7. If the "John Deere marbles" you are talking about are in a labeled bag referencing the tractor company, that is probably a fantasy bag too. But I am pretty sure I see some neat looking older marbles in the bunch as well. It'd be fun to see what kind of groups you could put together and take photos of if you looked for the marbles with the most different colors, those with nicely-colored clear(er) glass or those with the most interesting-stuff going on inside. In general, marbles are fun . . . welcome to the club! 😄
  8. They say that Master tried to produce machine-made marbles that looked like old German onion skins, and sometimes you can tell.
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. That last one is really nice, Jess.
  13. Those big ones are kind of hard to find in good condition - the glass is a bit soft.
  14. 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"
  15. 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
  16. 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.
  17. Hey Bill, That brown one's odd . . . kinda looks Kokomo - it's seems the right kind of oogly.
