  1. Nice. Reminds me I once encountered a marble themed kleenex box at my old office. Couldn't believe it when talking to a coworker and they literally had a kleenex box with Akro Corkscrews printed on it. Random marbles are a good way to brighten the day.
  2. nice handmade German. Timeframe seems about right, these were made from about 1850s to 1910 or so. I'd put this at the earlier end of that scale. Nice symmetry amd pattern. Condition looks pretty good for being in the ground all these years
  3. Nice shooter. I think I see a hint of blue on my screen
  4. Welcome! For begginners and depending how many marbles to sort, a good place to start is separate glass marbles from stone/steel etc. Generic glass marbles (single color transparent or opaque) are easy to separate, followed by generic catseyes. What's left over is where it gets interesting...time consuming but rewarding. Worth noting: not everyone agrees on names. Some names even vary geographically, some ID's change as more info comes to light, and some info published in books is arguably incorrect, so I take most with a grain of salt and try not to split hairs. With a single group shot most informed collectors will have a decent idea of what you've got and what's worth a closer look.
  5. Almost looks like evidence of being reheated or torched in the yellow. Although it would be odd to do so on a Vacor...
  6. Cool, video worked for me. I can see the sparkle. More often than not, it's incidental in marbles and some people collect examples based on eye appeal alone (similar to examples with incidental debris, oven brick, large bubbles, "UV POP"list goes on and on.)
  7. did I miss the size for the OP? Or am I just not seeing it now? I'm wondering how it would compare in hand to these colorsl
  8. Finding any marble unexpected is a good thing (to me anyway). Marble looks like a well used Peltier Rainbo. Production sizes ranged frim under 1/2" to about an inch, so this is at the larger end of the scale, but fairly common. Probably around 70 years old and made in the good ol' USA.
  9. Is white a lifesaver flavor? Pineapple? I always associated lifesaver with red green and yellow.
  10. Some would call it a Mist. It's nice. Not very common (I'm trying to remember if I've got one). If a true peewee even better.
  11. Is it not a shooter Cosmic Rainbow?
  12. Pelt Rainbo. Attractive colors and pattern for a Rainbo.
  13. It was a pamphlet from the shipping box. I doubt it had anything to do with the manufacturer of the marbles, probably just advertising for a local upcoming show (at the time).
