Thank you.

I like those ones where it's hard to count how many vanes they have. And I like that color combo.

Love it. Very frilly.

is it a cat's eye though? unusual

Great hobby. I'm a little jealous. I got a metal detector some years ago and never used it. Welcome.

Top left might be Christensen Agate. Top right Vitro. In the second pair, I think that's an Alley on the left. Third pair has an Alley on the right. Might be what is called an Alley Ghost. ... the left marble ... I don't know what it is ... but I'm wondering if the off white part glows under blacklight. Bottom looks like Pelt Rainbo with an unusual color arrangement on the left and a Vitro on the right.

What kind of variety do you have in your drizzly marbles? Anyone possibly have a drizzly Marble King? Surely we can get a drizzly Akro ... to go with the more famous Alleys.

Marble masters crowned in Wildwood Congratulations to Lauren Young and Spencer Hays.

I really do love your articles. You know that, right?

Eeek. Your guess is as good as mine. My guess might have been Marble King.

As a clearie lover, I am admiring this giant one again!

Thanks!

Size?

Had to look up what it meant to grain plates. Is this it? "Graining is the practice of imitating wood grain on a non-wood surface in order to increase that surface's aesthetic appeal." ("Graining" is one of those words I've seen over and over and have even used in a sentence when describing industrial uses of marbles and then finally after years I wake up and realize I don't know what it is.)

Hi. Yes, Vitro Tiger Eyes at 5 to 6 o'clock. Probalby some Vitro Conquerors in the upper left quadrant. I might see an Akro right there in the middle (white with yellow and green). And a lot of WV Swirls which I think are mostly Alley.

Just kidding of course! I hadn't made the connection ... but now I remember the Queen Mary from the 1998 version of The Parent Trap.

That Queen Mary sure was a troublemaker.

I love the old articles. Now my brain has stored that little economic insight about rules of trade in post-war England.

Fun. What is it called? It reminds me a little of the Wahoo game we played when I was young.

Thanks, Dave.

Hello. Welcome. No Blue Angel. I think the center marble is an Indian. Akro Blue Eggyolk on center left. Top left appears to be an Akro Prize Name corkscrew. Bottom left may also be. Top right and bottom right are also Akros. Right center is a Peltier Rainbo. Bottom middle looks like a Master from here. More views could change my mind. Top middle is a West Virginia Swirl. Many of those marbles are from the 1930's. Two or three possibly a little later. The Indian most likely older.

@orbboy? ... were you a snake fan? @disco005? .... I know you are

I was seeing it is as a machine-made mark compounded with cold rolls. I could still be mistaken.

Transparent red on clear?

That's a beaut. My first thought was that Motown's looked vintage, but then the more I looked at it, the more I leaned Vacor. Would love to be wrong!
