  1. If these were glass, what would you call them? They're chocolates. But now they make me want to own pieces of glass that look like them and I don't know what to search for.
  2. I think they have a great chance of being German. But now you have me curious about what a Japanese clay marble looks like. Maybe show them off in their own thread?
  3. omg, yes they would. The wooly marbles would definitely earn "played with" status.
  4. Too cool not to share. The creation of Heike Conroy who described them thus when she posted them on Facebook: Happy Saturday to all,,,,some " Wooly Mibs",,,Needle felted vintage Marbles,,,Swirls, Sparklers, Chinas, Marble Kings, Vitros, Akros etc.... having fun learning about Glass Marbles, while creating their Counterparts in Wool. (source)
  5. I can't place it, new or old. I really need to pull out my books that would re-teach me about older ceramics.
  6. My first impressions are Jabo, Fried Marble, Vacor
  7. Saw an ad for this on facebook ... had to share Turing Tumble - Build Marble-Powered Computers (upperstory.com)
  8. If Imperial, I am going to call it a very special one with that beauiful transparent base.
  9. Alley on top Master or Vitro on bottom? Maybe? The lavender is intriguing me.

    Superman

    Yeah, my choice would have been between Spider-Man and Superboy.
  11. I once had a clear cosmetics jar which glowed the eery blue with a pleasant intensity. I loved it. And I sold it. I want another!
  12. A favorite UV glow color. Phone camera made it too bright and added a bit of aqua. So blue it up in your mind! Sadly, my penlight blacklight didn't make it react. I got this photo with my big plug-in blacklight. The penlight lit up the uranium marbles in the container, but not the blue. So it's still useful for me when out rummaging, but I'll need to keep looking for one which will help me find the hidden blue glow treasures on the road.
  13. Our buy/sell section becomes visible after your 100th post.
  14. Sometimes coppery ingredients are used to make colors such as green/aqua/blue. Maybe sometimes red. When the coppery ingredients are used, chemistry shows you sometimes get actual oxblood out of it.
  15. Vintage bumblebee to me.
  16. Boris, I'd consider Master for yours also.
  17. William, yes, yours look Master. A 1950's version which were sometimes sold under the label of cat's eye when in Master packaging. They were also more famously jobbered by Alox.
