Opaque black marble with subtle aventurine- who makes these?
Steph replied to MarbleMaven's topic in Marble I.D.'s
You could start a new one with the same theme. Photobucket changed their terms of service so drastically that accounts became unusable for most people. -
The marble community has lost another notable collector. Read more: Brown-Dawson-Flick Funeral Homes - Posts | Facebook

I don't know ... but I can bump ....

Hello. Thanks for the kind words. Jump in any time.

I've been dreaming for 12 years about a camera which could do that. I've gotten two cameras in that time ... and neither one could. I guess I'm going to have to take a marble and a laptop into a camera store and check the cameras out in person before I buy so I don't strike out again.

I'm guessing the road and tunnel trumps the nine-ish aspects ... so I'll go with CAC.

It is a beautiful thing that you and Jake got to share marbles.
-
Thanks for posting! So much beauty. Yes, your box contents look right! Congratulations. Glad I could help in some small way with a morsel of information.

Greeneyes, Jabo started making this style of marbles in the 1990's. It's a common thing for even an older collection to get newer marbles mixed in. Someone finds a stray marble and remembers where the old marble jar is, and that seems a logical place to put the marble.

If you have any chipped ones, keep them with the collection. Call them the injured reserve list.

Akros were machine-made marbles. This marble is also machine-made and I can't swear that it isn't Akro, but I don't really have a guess for it.

Transparent swirls are hard to pin down by maker. So many different West Virginia swirl companies to consider, plus Alox in Missouri.

6 o'clock -- "rainbo", no other name that I know of 12 o'clock ... multicolor rainbo ... nlr era ... maybe called clear Christmas tree. 3 o'clock -- pelt rainbo I think Alley in the middle. don't know at 9 o'clock

WV swirl on the left. But on the right? I don't recognize it. Vitro? Peltier? Akro? Marble King? Jabo?
-
Looks like a Vitro to me. Maybe 1930's or 1950's.

Identifying WV swirls just got harder than ever! Never would have guessed such interesting combos came from Heaton.

Nice herd!

REPURPOSED HOMEMADE MIB CASES !!!!!!!
Steph replied to Chad G.'s topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
The backgammon one never occurred to me, but it really is a versatile idea with those extra sections. And not too hard to come by at thrift stores. -
A helmet is a Vitro where the white can be thought to look like a football helmet with ear protection on both sides, and it has a stripe for the team color. Boris' picture here shows that pattern nicely: I think Master or possibly Akro on yours, but purple isn't ringing an Akro bell for me.
-
Found something else orange and black! p.s. ... show us the socks!
-
I got it! Striped horse! No flies on me!
-
A helmet is also a Tri-Lite. So I'm covered!

Happy Halloween! I'm not aware of having much that's orange and black ... but when I take a picture at this time of night, things mostly look orange. Does that count? Oh wait I have something! No ... I tried to get a picture of the orange and black flamingos in the yard ... and it was really scary, I tell ya.
