Any new thoughts on which marbles might have been for sale here in 1929? They freak me out. They look like 1950's or later marbles. September 29, Automatic Age You could go to this page and try to zoom in even more: https://aa.arcade-museum.com/Automatic-Age-1929-09/Automatic-Age-1929-09-051.pdf

That top view looks like a machine-made seam. But I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be non-American. If American, I can only guess Master but the seams look a little long and flat for that.

Agree modern. But whether it's an Asian handmade or a more local contemporary, I do not know.

Someone reminded me it is also the "Bridge on the River Kwai" song.

I have an 18-year-old cat and a 19-year-old cat. Love 'em to pieces, and they still have their entertaining moments, but usually they're asleep.

Just watched an old Doctor Who episode with the captions turned on. And the captions said the Doctor was whistling the Colonel Bogey March. I never knew what that was called. In grade school we had our own words to it which involved the Comet cleanser making your teeth turn green.

When I'm bored I do google searches for marbles. I used to search in the newspaper archive for marbles but I no longer have free access. Today I did a google search for bored marbles! https://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/f/fishbowl_games.asp

Hi. Welcome. That's one of those where it's hard to tell if it's a slag or a swirl. If slag, I'd guess Akro. If swirl, then no guess. -
My thought is it's gorgeous. Just saying.

Not grease from the rollers. Something about the chemicals or minerals in the glass formula.

And Pre-1936 is right. Say 1930 give or take.

Ooooooh. Peltier Christmas Trees. With the brown, I guess that might make them "Burnt Christmas Trees". And 7/8"? That's cool. I don't know about aventurine. I'm not seeing sparkle. Are you? I wouldn't be surprised.

coool! I'm just not familiar enough with the frits to be able to say Mexican or Asian. The one which looks like paint splattered around the marble is the only one I think of as for sure Vacor. I guess I'll have to try harder to remember the characteristics the next time I run across an identified Vacor frit.
-
My guess would be Asian. I don't remember if I've seen clear based style like that from Vacor.

that is a beautiful set

I think he has a future as a sportscaster.

They won't believe the clairvoyant who just sends them an appointment. Before they can get help with their problem they need to show they're ready to get help by going through the steps of seeking out the clairvoyant.

Victories are clear inside. With white inside that's a variety of Conqueror.

Going through this thread looking for a particular marble and I tripped over this one and ..... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.

I feel so silly. How could I get that wrong? I even stared at it wondering if I had it right, and thought about the first MK location. And still didn't catch myself. *blushing*
