  1. My first impression is "not very old".
  2. 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.
  3. 1. Interesting looking but ??? 2. Vitro? 3. Master?
  4. 1. Vitro? 2. Akro (I feel pretty good about this one) 3. Vitro? 4. Vitro?
  5. Mike died a year-and-a-half ago.
  6. 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.
  7. A nice decoration for the vaseline glass corner of your marble room!
  8. I've spent these years thinking it was you but I can't swear to it.
  9. US781951A - Manufacture of hollow metal balls. - Google Patents
  10. I'll gladly buy back the Red Angel you bought from me.
  11. Fun to see that you found some American-made marbles in the wild over there.
  12. That shows the problem with posting so many marbles in one thread. Very hard to keep them straight when trying to help ID. Get dizzy going back and forth.
  13. Gotta be one of the cooler logo marbles I've ever seen. But I don't know the story either. Common ones with cartoon characters like Snoopy or brands like John Deere, those aren't a mystery. They're popular. People overseas crank them out. But this one ?????
  14. The small flat ones are called "gems" over here. Made that way on purpose. You can buy them for decoration. I'm not familiar with the larger ones. I don't know if they were made like that on purpose or not. Yes, I do like them.
  15. What a beauty. Congrats on ferreting out the background.
  16. Very neat looking. Two of the views look corky. Alley would lead my guesses, but I could see it going different ways including CAC.
  17. You may have noticed a couple of changes. @Chad G. has agreed to be our newest moderator. With my gratitude! Go easy on him. Also, there's a new ability to give reactions to posts, which can give reputation points to members. Have some fun with that.

    Vacor?

    The left seems like it could be Vacor. I might have guessed older on the right. Does the Vacor Troll come with such a translucent looking base? I don't suppose the base glass on the right fluoresces under blacklight?
  19. I think handmade. But who? I don't recognize that particular pontil style.
