Cool stuff! I want the trophy!

Sorting Vitros. Have a Tiger Eye with a clear base which has orange around the equator and yellow on either end. A somewhat tannish yellow. Can't tell for sure if it's the same shade on either end. Guess I could take a photo and clip the yellow from one end to compare to the yellow on the other end. But no pix now. Now I'm wandering around looking for my labels. Lost 'em. Gotta label my boxes! So, anyway, this one stands out in my Tiger Eye box. Anyone else have yellow/orange/yellow on their Tiger Eyes?

Interesting. I'm not familiar with the term "tornado" for marbles. I'll get the popcorn and wait with you.

Looks like a fried egg. Is it stone?

Includes California Agates

Right before corkscrews hit the scene.

Thought this might be a cleaner version of a Favorites box I already had posted, but it's a different graphic: http://morphyauctions.hibid.com/lot/8526806/rare-christensen-agate-favorite-box-with-marbles-

I was glad to see a view which made it look like the marbles were shooting out of the wall.

Those ends are looking Akro to me on the red/white. Maybe a lazy cork?

So where I thought a seam might be on the red and white one, I no longer think so. Still would like to see a shot or two of the ends of the red ribbon on that one.

What were the winning marbles in this? The blue, yellow and black one, right? I'm having a brain fart on the name of that .... galaxy?

Great story!

That's why I was scratching my head. 1. I know Sara's collection is old. I think a couple of newer marbles may have slipped in but it was overwhelmingly a vintage lot. 2. I did get a little bit of a Jabo feel, but see 1. 3. The marble on the right made me think of both Akro and Peltier depending on the view. In View 2, is that a seam between two red ribbons? Is the green and red one just green and red? Or does it have white also? Could you specially show us the ends of the patches? My initial guesses are that they're Akro, but still

That's beautiful. You got a great deal. I couldn't begin to guess which company's cullet that is.

Every few months I look in it again and am surprised by something I didn't know I had. (Would that be a bull's eye agate just above center?)

nice pic for showing some variation.

Bought Albert's marbles from Marblealan about 7 years ago, and that was going to be my handmade marble collection. Most of the rest were gifts. Used to have more ceramics including an AMT (and a couple of original boxes) but those went bye bye. (My slag collection is even smaller than my handmade collection so they're in here and the box is labelled "Old". )

Good afternoon! I'll vote for Jabo.

This one does not look very angel-y to me.

This one looks Angel-y in spite of the base glass heading off toward white:

Would love to see a photo of that box!
