    No idea

  2. Ricardo Mendoza over on facebook reminded me of a category that we haven't talked much about. His childhood collection of Vacors (from 60's and 70's) has a whole lot of very colorful Sunbursty looking marbles in transparent matrix.
  3. We may have to wait a few more weeks to see what it is. I think it's still growing.
  4. With the look of that pontil, I think it's purely handmade. Not transitional.

    American ?

    It looks like an American slag.
  6. LOL ... no worries ... it happens. That's why I recognized it.
  7. My first thought was Master, which makes all the Akro and Vitro talk very intriguing to me!
  8. I'm wondering if some of the egg shapes we are seeing in the picture are a camera illusion. I would get egg shapes on the edges of pictures when using the macro lens on my last camera. You have them in hand and you say some are out of round ... but I'm wondering if maybe not as much as they look in the pictures. Just a thought.
  9. Thanks! I wasn't at all sure when Jabo started making larger marbles. All I knew was it was sometime in the 1990's.
  10. Shane, if possible, I'd encourage you to take Ron (wvrons) up on that offer. He's the best!
  11. Ron, what year did Jabo start making 1 inchers? Almost but not quite a 30 years ago? If this is older than that, does the size make it an Alley?
  12. My first impression is "not very old".
  13. Steve is active on Facebook. He has a group over there called Good Old Marbles. That would be a good place to hook up with Edna, too. She's a moderator in that group.
  14. 1. Interesting looking but ??? 2. Vitro? 3. Master?
  15. 1. Vitro? 2. Akro (I feel pretty good about this one) 3. Vitro? 4. Vitro?
  16. Mike died a year-and-a-half ago.
  17. The closest name my fuzzy brain is coming up with is Poison Bee or Mandarin Bee. I have a marble I swear is a Rainbo but those are the names that other people wanted to call it.
  18. A nice decoration for the vaseline glass corner of your marble room!
  19. I've spent these years thinking it was you but I can't swear to it.
