That is a very cool Pelt, Ryan. And nice pics, Terry. I especially like the last one. You think Ron had any fun? I sure did. Great folks and great marbles, for sure. Here's one I got on trade . . . from a remote location. And I probably wouldn't have had to work as hard to make the thing myself as I did to get it . . . I darn near had to grovel. lol

Hey Craig, About the only thing that comes to my mind is the Mylee tank wash . . .

I've always been keen on those multicolor striated patches.

I'm glad you're enjoying them, guys. And it was good to meet you in Decatur, Dan. I've been collecting these for quite a while. Here are a few more.

That is a very cool marble, Dani. I surely haven't seen another like it. And while I agree that it looks like it could be a Master, I personally couldn't rule out foreign as a possibility. Regardless, it's a real looker . . .

That is a seriously nice marble. I don't think I've seen one quite like it. Thanks a lot for sharing.

I think the easiest way is to write your description in HTML, store your photos somewhere on the internet, and link them into the description.

The gargoyle feet are very cool!

I could see CAC on the first two, but I think that third one is a really nice marble.

I'm sure these marbles are related. I don't think they're too common either. It's the base glass, striping colors and patch style that point to Akro for me . . . I think "the bird's the word" (unless it's Master). lol

Hi Andrea, FWIW, I have this 1" with my Akros. I might be able to see Master. Some might even consider Alox. But I don't really see Vitro here.

That puts the damage in perspective! LOL

Very nice, Dan. This is fun! These had to slow production . . .

Nice Vitros. Some people call the ones with pink & blue Pastels or Easter Eggs. The opalescent one is a Tiger Eye. It's kind of interesting how people in different regions sometimes refer to marbles differently. I used to call these Parakeets (5/8", 4-5 colors with AV). But I've kinda given up on that name. Now I just call 'em pretty Vitros. lol.

I'd probably have that with my Heatons . . .

Probably something like, "What a dandy shooter!"

poor marble . . . those rotten kids! lol

Wow, Brian. I really like that American Majolica - great marble! Thanks a lot for posting the pics and info. And that cobalt blue is pretty distinctive, but I'm thinking it's going to take me quite a while to really "get it". It seems that some of the Akron marbles don't show any, or as many, significant "eyes" like I'm used to seeing on Benningtons, and most of the Akrons I've seen don't seem to have as complete of color coverage as most of the Benningtons I've seen either. Could you please provide a brief statement of comparison with respect to those two features? Thanks Again.

Nice, Winnie. You have some nice looking Jaspers in there. I also like the mostly white Benningtons with blue eye spots. And I'm not so sure that greenish thing I showed is a Bennington. I was sort of thinking maybe American Majolica but . . .?

Don, Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but is this what you're referring to?

Nice snag, Howard. I'm not too good with the hand made ones. What's that red/blue/white one around 7 o'clock?

I sent a PM, did you get it?

You'll find some info here.

Nice collection Don. I like the crockery/stoneware marbles and I sure would like to learn more about them. Could anyone show some American Majolicas, or perhaps provide some thoughts on this? Is it just an odd greenish Bennington? Thanks.
