    Every year I hope Santa brings me more marbles or a better camera so I don't keep using this same pic. lol. Merry Christmas everyone ps. Galen, do you have a close up shot of row 27, column 22 from your pic?

    Any marbles on a Christmas card is just fine with me

    Hmm, the tissue might have been put in the bag to keep its shape or maybe as a dessicant or something. If it were original to the box that might be even more interesting...

    Nice compilation, you might be on to something here
  5. I'llhavethat1
    can you shine a strong light through it (maybe get more clues to construction from bubble/striations)?
  6. I'llhavethat1
    the nice symmetry can now be seen

    On the one side only is odd indeed. So, to clarify, this is not one you've polished yet. My guess is some sort of calcium or lime build up. Check valve?

    Takes some of the anonymity out of it, nice to see the people I've enjoyed chatting marbles with over the course! Old handmades preferred here

    I don't much collect newer marbles, but when I do.. .Barton's Balls And then some old German marbles which I also like

    Probably looks pretty stylin' I saw some window curtains with marble fabric a while back, might have a pic around somewhere. Years ago I remember seeing a kleenex box with popeye marbles printed on it too, wish I could have grabbed it or taken a pic (excuse me sir while I take a picture of your kleenex box). Funny how marble motifs end up in places like that.

    Interesting, more views might be needed. Is it the large ones you think are Akro?

    Nice Pelts (and display boards too), they look right at home. I'll try to get there someday. Thanks for posting those pics

    Nice marbles, not 'pinchers'. Stunning color on the greens as well
  14. I'llhavethat1
    Does the green onion in the first pic have lutz or is it dirty glass? Some of the other ones pictured don't look quite 'bad' as-is, but hope you get the results you're looking for,

    I'd say all the marbles posted so far are Euro's. On the first one you can especially see the spotty parts of the green (which kind of looks like aventurine from a distance) but is common to marbles with this combo and pattern.

    Nice Pelts, good to see some killer marbles in this thread
  17. I'llhavethat1
    Can't wait to see some pics, sounds good
  18. I'llhavethat1
    those are nice marbles
  19. I'llhavethat1
    Any chance / 5 right is a Kokomo

    # 5 on the right is not Vacor,

    I saw that eBay auction and thought I was confused also

    re: 'gapey pontil mark' lol. I think it had a lot to do with how much the marble was drawn off the cane before getting snipped. Then finishing the pontil via whatever method can sometimes 'open' it up more. Seen on just about any type of handmade. although some are more open than others

    The red/white alt core is great to see, nice example in (what looks to be) superb condtition
  24. I'llhavethat1
    I'd put that in with my Pelts, but yes the pic in the OP does look like it might be something else, but taking a closer look always helps. *edit* reasons why: -the 'oven brick' -the transaperent blue glass -the blow-out -the color combo/construction Also, love the pattern on that 'peltier hybrid rebel turkey'

    Ditto on the green in the handmades, don't give up on the pics VT, those were worth it! but I have seen lutz, on German Lats which doesn't look deliberate either. Probably contamination since it's just a single strand. Came across a banded lutz with a red noodle core in bad shape. There are odd ones out there
