Ok - so you find yourself in a flea market….you see the jar or box….what color swirls or patches etc make you go….hmmmm?

How many colors on one marble make you say…yup I’ll buy it and figure it out later…

That is one cool WVS. I’m going to say that that is Oxblood. It looks like pieces bacon.  As for the Heaton ID I have no clue. Let’s see what happens here with this one 🔥

Bacon - love that description - been trying to find a way to id OB and that just nailed it for me…just made sense 

Glad to see this thread I have a bunch to these 

What’s a hiccup cork?

Thanks a ton!!!  All 5/8

It doesn't matter if it's a reply or a new post. Every post you make counts toward your 100, look below your avatar, your number just went up from 18 to 19   

Whew 😉

Thank you for the explanation!

Found this on the internet- "Today, there are only two American-based toy marble manufacturers: Jabo Vitro in Reno, Ohio, and Marble King, in Paden City, West Virginia."

I did not know that….how sad

Man, I can already tell. I have too many hobbies, but this might become my priority one!  So long fishing, baseball cards, mushroom foraging, etc… I got that itch for some glass!  I seem to be most attracted to purple slags. Idk why. 

Ha - join the club - cards marbles cars…

Not if you’re electricity is turned off and you can see in the dark… 😳

100 posts before you can sell.. I think that is a really great rule actually. But wait, does that mean that only other people that has posted 100 times will be able to see my for sales?

Good question

I appreciate what Chad has said.
There is no one here willing to take advantage of a newer collector.
Make your mark here and take advantage of the rules.
This place is just a great place to be!

I need to get to posting up to 100 because I don’t know where else sell - and I have a ton - if anyone sees anything I post that they want feel free to PM me…

I feel like maybe it’s 1 tip short but the way it all flows around it’s awesome!!!

Are these grey streaks that follow alongside the green aventurine?

Awesome!!! Just measured it’s actually a full 1 inch shooter 

Yeah I think it’s hand gathered…you can see the pontil circled here

More pics - hopefully better roughly 3/4 inch 

15/16 - no idea - thanks!!!

Ok thanks!!!
