  1. might be easier to tell in hand (the pics look a bit too zoomed in on my monitor) but I would guess West Virginia Swirl (probably Alley)
  2. Did Vacor make a blue and pink like middle of 2nd last picture? Or is that Alley? Not up on my Vacors. For a couple hour drive would it be too far out of the question for the seller to take a couple pics of the marbles out of the jar?
  3. Very true. We all start somewhere, and a lot of people here myself included had the same question at some point. I seem to recall an oxblood specific thread on this board. Someone might beat me to it but there were some pretty good examples for reference at the time.
  4. All look great but I'd be partial to the one on the bottom left
  5. I only have a handful of contemporary marbles in my collection. Fritz Lauenstein was one of the first. Followed by Mike Barton (fellow member on this board). I like the look of Bill Murray marbles but haven't secured one yet
  6. Looks like an Akro, Silver Oxblood. Nice pics
  7. Pretty sure it's a dark green translucent 6-finger type.
  8. Banded opaque on the left and banded transparent on the right
  9. When it comes to two color corks, I believe it is one of the more desirable combos. At least to me anyways, and I've been looking for a while.
  10. Sad news indeed. I appreciated his sense of humor and skill at "mending" old marbles.
  11. Cool find. Under a floor makes me wonder what else might have been under any floor in some of the old houses I lived in, lol. Agree that it's an old German onionskin. Sometimes the clear base has filaments of colored glass running through the middle from pole to pole and that's likely what you're seeing.
  12. Ric, I can only hope that support from our marble community can assist you in thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
  13. looks vintage to me, and the surface isn't as nice (smooth) as what you'd expect after polishing, but seeing a couple pics on a computer is much different than having it in hand.
  14. Agree on the above. At one point there was a good reference guide/pic on the site that showed different styles of pontils (or cutoffs) on marbles like this. The one on the right is a less common color compared to most of the other ones I've seen.
  15. lol, Ron and I were thinking the same thing at the same time. I should go buy a lottery ticket!
  16. Yeah, that's another can of worms. Some of the opaque Indians with a black base appear a deep "translucent" purple base when you shine a light through. If it's clearly translucent without strong light (like your pic) I would consider it to be something other than the Indian category, but that's just my opinion
  17. Size can sometimes be a way, along with color. A pontil or prominent cut-off can also help narrow things down. Anything beyond that is a bit of a crapshoot
  18. If they made slags in that size it would make sense that other styles could also be made (although I can't say I've seen any) Did the eBay link get updated? It's now saying 41/64 and mimic art glass in the title. Don't remember if it was like that before
  19. By 'Vaseline' are we talking about the color alone? Or does it need to react to UV? Would love to see some pics.
  20. I recall seeing similar, with what can sometimes be interpreted as a phallic "pole" but I think they were bears and not lions.
  21. I wouldn't want to be the guy grinding/faceting peewee agates by hand, no thanks
  22. I would have taken a gamble, looks like some interesting ones in the group. $607 seems a bit steep without seeing more detail perhaps whoever put in that bid asked some questions or had a look.
