  1. I'll go with Paul. But it just dawns on me, that I've never thought much about the structure of Akro Milky Oxbloods. Are they typically out and out swirls without even a little bit of corkishness?

    Muddy base

    Alley? Wacky Akro?
  3. what a nice shade of green to wake up to
  4. Probably has to be one I've had on my wishlist for a LONG time -- no impulse purchase.
  5. Thanks to you both, Jay and Bill. Congrats to Bill. If you PM me with your vitals, Bill, I'll mail it on Monday.
  6. Not mine! Marblealan sold it. The blue and amber is a famous CAC ... the part I'm fuzzy about is whether the striped transparent version is called Blue Lace. Or if only the swirl version is called Blue Lace. So did Pelt have a similar color version? Or were you sold a CAC by mistake? I don't know the answer to that. Don't know what happened to my "click to enlarge" option. Here's a bigger version.
  7. Do you think of the bottom one as Chinese?

    This one is an Akro corkscrew. A very popular marble style. Some can be valuable. Again, condition is very important. So this one is probably in the "cool, it's a cork" category, not in the "cool, it's valuable" category.
  9. Well, I will bid $10. If I win, I save on shipping.

    Well, I finally bit. At $8 for 6, if I ever want any no time like the present. My 6 are on their way.
  11. I wouldn't do a reserve. Some people start everything low and count on people getting sucked in by the potentially inexpensive marbles. My general recommendation is that you start your listings at $9.99. You could have a group of 20 plain WV swirls, or you could have a single cork. One very tricky thing about auctions is grading the marble's condition. And another thing is giving accurate sizes. This becomes more important if you're selling single marbles than if you're selling a group. For a single marble you need to give a really good description with good pictures. You get to list 50 auctions for free per month, so if you price something too high and it doesn't sell, you're not out the listing fee. But if you put a reserve, I'm pretty sure that costs.
  12. I don't see anything I would call eggyolk. #1 WV Swirl, probably Alley #2 could be an Akro Corkscrew -- nice twisty one if so #3 leaning Alley with these views but that really wide ribbon is making me doubt #4. Leaning Vitro #5. Akro Moss Agate #6. Probably Alley
  13. you saved the blingiest for last well played

    Dang! Thanks for the update!
  15. #1 ?? Vitro, I guess ... I don't think it is a named one ... so maybe for a generic Vitro lot ... as to age, I'm wondering if it might be from the last 1980's or early 1990's ... that is I'm wondering if it is an Anacortes Vitro ... but for now just go with generic Vitro of undetermined age #2 Akro Corkscrew? -- 1930's if I'm seeing it right ... not a common #4 Made in Amsterdam by Veiligglas -- it's a "wirepull". Some of the orange ones do look funky inside. Start a Veiligglas pile. These aren't terribly rare but not that common and they're desirable. #5. West Virginia swirl -- I'm not sure if it has any special name besides that
  16. 1. Very nice Pelt -- wouldn't be surprised if it sold for more than $10 2. ???? West Virginia swirl?? 4. West Virginia swirl pile 5. Transparent swirl pile

    Hi Reilly. Welcome. You're right about 1930s or thereabouts. I think the second one is a Peltier. (Hard to say from just one view but I think that's what it is.) It's a popular style. With the damage it probably isn't worth much, but in mint condition a marble like that would be desirable. The first one looks like that timeframe but I'd like to see another view before I make a guess. Thanks!
