You gotta put a Bonux branded sparkler on your wishlist.

Do you have any European sparklers? or whisplers?

Now I feel bad that I didn't catch that. But not too bad. Hey, we could have started a new rumor about where these marbles really come from.

I did not doubt it! Very festive.

that one is frothy ... nice

Well, that's another "awwwwwww". That's a cute one too.

Hello there! Welcome. That's a wild effect in your marble. I take it that's a double ingot?

awwwwwwww .... that's totes adorbs

The only marbles I know of in regular production at that size are Vacors. I simply cannot think of anything else.

I don't mind. I like revisiting mysterious marbles. 1.83 inches. I wasn't sure what we said about it before, but when I did the size conversion, I became fairly sure what we would have said. At that size I can only think of one option. I could hope it was some super rare dug Akro, but that is huge, so it leaves me with only one practical choice. ( @Alan, it's not some super rare dug Akro, is it? )

I presume it was an intentional play on "MIB". But I don't remember anyone confirming that. I love it if it's an elaborately-produced yet obscure pun which hardly anyone in the world was expected to get. Well, I love it anyway, but I want to know what the writers were thinking.

I think I see a little bit of a structural clue at the cutline in the marble in the top left corner. But if they hadn't been mixed in with modern foreign marbles, I might not have guessed.

The rest of the marbles in the photo are foreign. So I am inclined to think the black and white ones are also. Possibly in the Vacor Old Fashion family. https://www.billes-en-tete.com/detail.php?id=99

Can you think of any good ones? I like the alien at the end of Men In Black playing marbles with the Milky Way and other galaxies.

Funny you should mention that one, Joe. A couple of years later, I got to really wanting one of those, and forgot I already had one .

Thanks for sharing. What's next on the list?

found these on my porch one morning.

Next: honey-colored

Okay ... found an old photo where I was comparing white bases. Pinterest turned it around on me ... but there is on the left now, my whitest white.

That calls for a Chrissie .....

Oh gee ... I thought that view would convince Sean I was right!

What do you say, Sean?
