  1. Popular American Marbles is still my favorite general ID book for American machine mades. The quality of the photos are hated by many, but I personally recommend the book as the most helpful available at this time in conjunction with The hardback historical book American Machine Made Marbles by same authors. Don't write it off because of what many say. Cheap money well spent. I still wish all the photos were brighter
  2. Just aventurine in there floating around the black and red, no blue. Next: silver and gold
  3. My mother started picking up Marbles here and there while antiquing and kept them in a jar while I was in my 20s. It turns out my Dad had a small box of Marbles he had saved from his childhood tucked away, but I didn't know about those until 5 years ago
  4. It is actually quite sad. All I had and all I remember were coke bottle Asian cats from the late 70s. Did not play any for keeps type marble games in my childhood😕. I am 47
  5. one of these has it (I think). Next: rainbow red orange yellow green blue indigo violet or there abouts
  6. bright yellow and gold lutz. They are out there.
  7. It is actually worthwhile to show what typical cutlines and cold rolls look like on 1" range JABOs in this thread, however, I can't post my lame photo in a big enough size to blow up where one can see the cold rolls on them or the cutlines. I totally understand the ID part doesn't belong here.
  8. They sent me an additional 6 free with the 6 I paid for. $7.99 well spent and 1 of the freebies was a killer. 1500 of these would be fun...
  9. One is too many and a thousand never enough.
  10. I didn't get any good external silver swirls in a whole case, so I had to buy a couple of special ones separate from my case. Bummer, but that's ok. The silver swirls with lutz swirls are truly rare I guess. I was able to obtain 2 examples with the silver bits on the inside of the marble (not confettis) and one of them also has a nice internal lutz swirl. That being said, my favorites are some of those simpler transparent ones from this run. I love the lutz swirls and hate the confettis, but still want examples of all the different confetti combinations. Internal lutz swirls are still so cool...and extremely rare in this run.
  11. Many phones and cameras have settings that can be adjusted to take smaller type images. There are also programs you can use to resize pics instead.
  12. Awesome. That is by far the biggest chunk of furnace brick in a marble I have ever seen and it doesn't even look fractured. So cool.
  13. to make them look like that. fun thing to do
  14. the 3 marbles you show of yours are all JABOs, not the facebook ones
