Quick note: In the FAQ, under "Why Nichibles", it only mentions marbles. In the demo, the ebay template caught my eye. So when someone lists their collection, it can be only for them to keep track for themselves? It's not automatically viewable to the general public?

"Home" and "About" buttons on the contest page would be helpful. To help people navigate to a page with more information. https://nichibles.com/

Yeah, more views might be needed to get a focus on the handgathered structure we would want to see on a Japanese transitional, but that's what I think it will turn out to be.

Hello. Welcome. It would not be MFC. MFC didn't make red slags. The red marbles mentioned in MFC advertising were oxblood.

I am leaning vintage myself. I considered Vacor because of the bubble pops, but the swirl pattern says older to me.

Wild! Bravo

I figured I might have the starting year off for the big ones. Never was quite sure when those were added to the line-up. I think I asked once but the answer didn't stick.

Hello. Welcome. At that size with those patterns, I think you have Jabo Classics. Marbles made at Jabo-Vitro in Reno, Ohio between 1991 and 2007.

Yes, Veiligglas from the Netherlands. For most. The bottom left is not seeming to fit with the others in that photo. Oh, and on the right, the second from top seems to have a different pattern.

For a peewee, my first guess will be Vacor

Pretty sure I told you not to do that again. :(

I will move this thread over to the main forum to see if anyone is close enough that they might want to have a look. Also, if you posted some pictures, that could be helpful. Could help you and could help people who might want to purchase.

Well, I was surprised to win 😯, but I won't apologize! 👹 You do already have one set after all, and I had none. 🔥

Hi. Welcome. Your marble would be a modern reproduction. The comic marbles from around 1930 were made with Peltier Peerless Patches. Those marbles have a single patch. All the vintage marbles that I'm aware of are printed in black. Your red image points to modern. Often you will see reproduction comics on Marble Kings that have two patches. That's most common I think. Does your marble have any patches? Having no patch would also point to modern. Additionally, what size is yours? If it's on a large marble, then pretty sure that means modern as well. And finally, the details of the image are a little different on yours from what you would see on the old ones.

Brilliant!

How about Peltier Broken Corkscrew on the yellow and white .... Do you see four yellow ribbons?

*gulp*

I am 99.99% sure that I have seen large Wales marbles. I mean, I am very confident that I have, but am allowing for a glitch in my memory. Were they a full inch? I don't know. But they were big and I was jealous.

Yah ... a revelation to see the core. But will be interesting to see what resin does for the rest. Especially curious how this one would turn out.

What happened to your sniper bid?

No, no, no! LOL This would go in my personal museum with a printed explanation of its history and purpose ... after I figured out what that was.

dayaaaang 😯

Love it ... whatever it is.

Odd mix of old and new. I think if someone was buying the older ones individually it would probably make it up to $40. Interesting marble that you're highlighting.

Agree with Vacor. I'll go with the style name Old Fashion.
