  1. Looks vintage from here.
  2. Someone posted this on facebook ... Sistersville Marble Festival in the news. Some years it's on my birthday. I need to go. http://www.newsandsentinel.com/news/community-news/2018/09/sistersville-marble-festival-rolling-forward-for-19th-year/

    Id.req.

    Gonna say no. I think WV swirl, not Akro.
  4. Just found this one in a wooden box ... that maybe I got from one of my husband's friends? The glass feels Rainbo even if the pattern might make me want to say NLR. The yellow seems a little unusual -- a dark gold maybe with a little olive tint. Darker than in the picture. I need to pull out some more yellows ... at least the Mandarin Bee ... maybe I'll find it's perfectly normal. But I couldn't wait to get a picture.
  5. Nice little knick knacks. The marbles are Asian.
  6. Same with Alley pistachio. Same with bullet mold marble. Was sad that I didn't have them ... and then was reminded that I had them for years. Oh well, something to be said for being surprised by your marbles every time you go through them again.
  7. I was feeling sad that after all these years I still didn't have any mellon balls ... melon balls? How is that supposed to be spelled? So, anyway, I was feeling sad that I didn't even have any simple mellon balls. Except .... I do have mellon balls. I've been sharing this picture of Albert's marbles for years. But I only think of them as Albert's marbles ... I don't think of what the marbles actually. Doh!
  8. Gotta be a Tri-Color Agate. I don't think it would be called rare, but don't see 'em everyday. That is a beautiful spiral in red and white no matter what you call it.

    I'm not seeing any clear structure to it. So that's making me wonder about dug Akro.

    A little bit of me wants to say Akro. The brown is probably what threw my first guess to Vitro.
  11. Another pretty one. Can't you give us something easy?! I think Akro. (second guess Master)
  12. perty I'd guess Marble King because of the relative symmetry of the patches.

    ai yi yi Vitro? How big?
  14. Plus-sized corks are da bomb.
  15. I might have a Jabo like the one with black. It makes me think of the first Tribute run. I don't recognize the other.
  16. Oooh, that's big. I have seen that size in an advertisement, but I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone with an Ace that big. If that's what it is, it's a keeper. Hey, a #2 cork would be a keeper no matter if it's an Ace or not, but if it's an Ace then that makes me very happy. About the glob ... yeah, I guess it just happened. I don't see it a lot, but it's not shocking.
  17. Looks like a cork to me. Where is the patch part? I suspect it's an Ace. That base looks like it might have some fire coming through it.
  18. This list was given to me as decent music from the 80's ... but I'm not listening to it yet ... have shied away from music of the 80's ... still not ready Supertramp ELO Eagles (actually, I know them as a 70's band and have enjoyed them) Def Leppard Loverboy Night Ranger
  19. I could have seen the one on the right being a Marble King where the top patch didn't close completely. It's not an easy one.
  20. Related in the sense of also being Asian. (I presume.) Could theoretically be made on the same machines. I'd guess many years newer than the Wales.
