Can't say that enough!

LOL. Death threats. Welcome to the fun, Dave.

I'm thinkin your marbles are Jabos. The ones in my Army, Navy, Air Force bags are modern marble kings. I didn't think there were any real ones to compare these to. I was under the impression that Alox never did the Army, Navy, Air Force bags at all. (am open to correction if I have that wrong - thanks)

Fascinating. Thanks! Gene, I have a set of the Army, Navy, Air Force fantasy bags.

Wow, Pat. Have you ever tried to get a separate ID on the green, gold and white - or the red, white and blue - independent of the box?

Just sayin'

Since I hijacked your thread with the patches, I will try to get it back. Your question appears to be about the difference between Slags and Transparent Swirls. I don't trust my ability to explain it in words. However, here are some photos which might facilitate the discussion. Here's an example of a slag from Joe's MFC section and a transparent swirl from his Alox section. Here's a side by side comparison of Slags versus Transparent Swirls which Dani posted in a thread Felicia started on the subject. Clueless About Slags

I made this post elsewhere today. Figured I should add it here also. There are patches in this bag of Nancy's. Mr. Bales once posted individual shots of the marbles in this box: (click to enlarge) Some examples:

Rich, I see that you've posted a refinement of your question. So my post already in progress doesn't appear to be relevant. However, someone might find it interesting so I'll go ahead and hit submit. ************** There are patches in this bag of Nancy's.

I'm going away to do some errands. If anyone has anything I need to hear, I'll have to catch you later. Please try not to burn the board down. Thanks all!

Psychodelic!

I'll get my suggestion out of the way. I've never been to a show. But I've heard that you should take a flashlight in case the rooms aren't well lit! 'kay, that's all I got. Hope you have a blast!

Hi Gary. Hmmmm .... is 5/8" a ballot marble size? Are the bands on the black ones silver? ??? (or is that just an interesting reflection? or ???)

Love your trophies too.

Hi! Welcome! I have facebook! I'm still looking at the album. I got kinda sidetracked by the Squarbles. lol

That's a cool batch of oddballs.

How cool! You dun gud!

Great story! That's some good karma!

To me the surface looks sort of like enamel, like the decorations on some pennies my mother has from her youth. Was that ever done to spherical objects?

Fakes: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250691934462 That seller sells lots of green ones also. This is the seller with the eagle bennies. Here's one of their sketchy lots, including a green:

Not mine. Mentioned in the buy-sell-trade forum, but with only a day left on some of them, here ya go: http://shop.ebay.com/bucca/m.html?_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

What a wonderful story!

Priceless!

Ahhh, memories: That was part of May's campaign to get her to be accountable. Might be interesting to check in a month or so to see if she's listing them in the 1970-to-now category. My bet is that she will still list them in the pre-1970 category. Her present listing is completely pared down in comparison to the one M!b$ quoted. This dislaimer probably protects her from any eBay actions no matter what category she lists in: "PLEASE REMEMBER THAT SOME OF THESE MARBLES MIGHT BE NEWER I'M NOT A EXPERT". The question I have is how does one get all the new marbles she has http://shop.ebay.com/tammysvintagemarbles/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1 without knowing that they are new? How long can she go with that disclaimer? It could be mildly interesting to follow. As an academic exercise. Has she been selling before with a different but similar sounding ID? The name sounds familiar, but according to eBay, she didn't change from "mythisorthat" to "tammysvintagemarbles" until March of this year. All these sellers of antique Vacors and Jabos start running together after awhile.

I'm having trouble seeing that one as a Superboy. Oh sheesh, I didn't want to jump in on this one, and there I dun it. I just wanted to watch a superman-supoerboy thread for once. Darn. Well, I went awhile! LOL Back to observer now.
