    Understood! Am I still allowed to be impressed by you?
  2. Hi ... I don't recognize the yellow and white color combination. I guess it might be Champion Agate, a type of West Virginia swirl. (I also wonder if it could be Veiligglas -- from Amsterdam -- but I'm leaning American.)
  3. I'm all about that Ace, 'bout that Ace.

    It's just part of our background from being little kids in America. Hence the "wait for ittttt" element to the joke. Takes a minute, but then the sounds float into place and we get a chuckle. And obviously you know more about my culture than I know about yours, so Dr. Seuss is someone to add to the roster of people you know.

    Well, then maybe this is a "learn something new" moment ... he's a big part of American culture. The Cat in the Hat Green Eggs and Ham Horton Hears a Who ... oh and a very big biggie is: How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Do you know of the Grinch?

    Okay, no more invisible ink ... still for Hoody ... Do you know Dr. Seuss? He wrote goofy rhyming books easily readable by children but also loved by many adults. Here's the one this picture was about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Fish_Two_Fish_Red_Fish_Blue_Fish

    Ooops ... I'll try to remember that and add more empty spoiler lines next time.

    For Hoody -- in invisible ink below one fifth, two fifth, red fifth, blue fifth which is a play on the title of a famous Dr. Seuss book.
  9. Fried green tomatoes will be on the menu later today.
  10. Other than that one I'm not recognizing any which could be of signficant value. Something might call out to someone else though. The marbles are mostly Vitro. But I see at least a little Peltier, Marble King, Master, some kind of swirl, and maybe an Akro corkscrew. (The blue one near the bottom of the top photo -- I'm wondering if that is a corkscrew.)
  11. I think that it is a 1930's Vitro, and the size could add value to it. Condition is very important though for value. A chip could lower the value of a marble by half or more from mint condition.
  12. Hi. Welcome. (I love buttons -- started to collect seriously -- but then switched to marbles.) Most of those would be "commons" as you probably suspected. The most interesting one I recognize is the large one which is near the middle of the bottom picture, and is peeking down from the top of the top picture.
  13. Nice colors. I can see why you're hopeful. Worth the gamble. Heck, even if they're just oversized game marbles ... they would be quite pretty for what they turn out to be.
  14. Very cool. It's weird how so many of us have thousands of marbles around and we don't shoot them. Any of them. Even the cat's eyes or game marbles. I love that you do.
  15. Trying to figure this out out without googling. Nothing is coming to me. Ooooh. Now I have a guess. I have typed it below, in invisible ink. Because he is dead?
