Locking this thread as it has wandered off topic into the squabble zone, but we do have a Squabble Zone area if someone wants to start a new thread there.

Bummed to miss this as I am leaving Vegas after a conference the afternoon of the 23rd.

(all credit goes to artificial intelligence)

The max dimensions were 200px, but max size 100kb. So it's probable the maximum dimension issue. I upped that to 300px to see if that helps. @William

Renewed my local Craiglist wanted ad and within a couple of days scored this really nice yellow(amber?) lutz with only a few flea bites. I think it's about 0.79". I rarely find handmades so always a treat.

First show I ever went to. Sure miss it but I'm in -20 degrees in Montana now where marbles are scarcer than sunlight. 😆

Here's a photo of the bag of them the original eBay seller showed me.

His link is safe but his SSL security certificate expired and is no longer valid. He needs to renew it and install the new one.

That 2nd one! 🌶️

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Hah! 🤣 Glad they made it despite delays caused by the Abominable Snow Man. Merry Christmas! 🎄

Nice. I found one that size, a white with some lutz, but pretty banged up. Still, peewees are utterly charming. I keep meaning to craft my own miniature peewee brag box some day.

Refreshing to see no bids on it.

I put the five names in a box and my daughter drew the winner this morning... Congratulations to @B-rett66, you win all the marbles!

I was wondering that too, but when I searched the FB Vacor Fans group for "eclipse", this came up in about the fifth post from back in May!

Here's a 5/8" machine made Vacor Eclipse I purchased in a net bag today with a fine nine.

Here's an old thread in addition to the Joe Marbles page:

OK, you're in. Good luck!

Does appear to have the orange peel texture characteristic of a Euro Sparkler.

You can buy regular rebels all day long, but I sure don't see many peewees.

Good idea! I think we could come up with something to do as a group that would get more newcomers excited with marble mail.

Santa's elf has been busy. All the major American marble makers are in this lot, as well as a couple of surprises. When I first started collecting, it was difficult to find vintage marbles in the wild that were in mint-range condition. Took me a while before I truly understood how good a marble can look in mint condition, which is one reason why marble shows are so instructive and inspiring. In that spirit, most of these marbles are in the higher mint range.

Many of us can relate to this one.

Here's one just for you.
