'kay. I'm not familiar with clear-based Jabos.

That gives me Episodes 1, 2, 3, & 4 of Big Time Marbles. I'm a lucky girl!

Boys' Life -- January - April of 1931

Have you seen that color combo on Jabos?

I love you, Bob!

Is that a baby in a crib?

Those are soooooo beautiful. OMG, what a win.

Can hardly wait!

Yeah, all my spirals have pretty clean ribbons. I'm curious about what this one could be.

The bottom view(s) aren't opening for me. Are you wondering if it's Akro or not? That's a lot of yellow and doesn't look like a distinct ribbon. But first impression is it looks Akro. Style name for single-colored ribbons in clear glass is "Spiral".

Yup, the Peanuts comic strip wasn't even two years old yet. Charlie Brown had made appearances in an earlier strip but he was still new. His character was somewhere only 4 or 5 years old here. He got a little older later.

One of Snoopy's brothers was named Marbles. I got a paper copy of a Peanuts strip featuring a marble game. Since I don't have a scanner set up I tried to look for it online and stumbled across that little factoid about Snoopy's brother. Eneeeway ... I found a copy of the comic strip. June 29, 1952. http://peanuts.wikia.com/wiki/June_1952_comic_strips

Bump! Would love to see some more eye candy.

What a nice picker upper!

Neat!

It was said that there was a shade of green Moss Agate found at an Alley site which hasn't been seen from any other factory. Does that observation still hold? And do these marbles from an Alley site look like any particular other maker? Eeek! Those are big pix. (p.s., they're marbles Sandy posted)

It would be interesting to hear more about the salters. However, please try to keep personal stuff to a minimum. Information = good. Personal digs = Board of Inquiry/Squabble Zone. Thanks!

*waves at jeeperman* Nice to see ya!

That cat gets around.

It has been said that the white will glow on about half of them. (This was from a Marblealan and Kokoken discussion. )

Hello. Welcome!

Very nice

I don't think common. Here's one which was listed as a Bloody on ebay a couple of months ago. Hey CAC folks, does this one fit the bill? http://www.ebay.com/itm/140973297252

To be fair, the building was only resting there after a mad 4-mile long dash through the city.

The one on the right in my pic? It has confetti inside. One neat and odd thing about that one is that one of the confetti pieces is pink and white striped. And it's pretty much a total match for the pink and white striped piece which is rolled into the middle marble.
