Liberty Ram from D.A.S. Test 6

There's a sweet metallic swirl on one of these Corals. Surprise metallics always put a smile on my face.

These came out of a Penny King bag of Whirlwinds I recently bought and opened up. I don't believe I had any two colored Whirlwinds in my collection previously. This was a pretty darn good little bag of Whirlwinds.

I have heard them called Electric Champions, but don't know if that's official or not. It works for me. They appear to have been made in one consecutive marble making session but I can't prove that of course.

HI WELCOME BACK

These ones don't seem to get talked about often and are pretty awesome IMHO

Ann-does yours have a thin line of aventurine twirling around it too?

It all depends...Do you collect JABOs or fantasy bags...or neither? What were you hoping they might be? It is definitely easier to study and appreciate marbles outside of bags.

A pair of tornadoes

lutz cats of course (even if they must be handmades )

Were there different photos up earlier? There is no red marble on the right. What size are these?

OK, it looks like AAM is down for the count and I need a new primary residence. Hi! My name is Josh Dinklage. I am a 45 year old male who grew up with the nickname "Dink." I live on Nantucket Island in Massachusetts and you can call me Nantucketdink. I live with my girlfriend/fiancé Tracy and our 6 year old daughter Dory...and our 2 year old yellow lab dog Fisher. I have only been collecting marbles for about 4 years, but I have been doing it intensely. I am a passionate JABO, Sammy's Mountain Marbles, and Dave's Appalachian Swirls collector. When I say passionate, what I really mean is that I am obsessed, addicted, highly motivated, and driven. My collecting goal is to try to get an example of every different marble made by these companies. I also collect Vacors with my daughter and have modest collections of Champions, Vitros, Ravenswoods, Cairos, Heatons, Jacksons, MKs, and other machine mades. I really like Dave McCullough's marbles more than anybody else's if that wasn't clear enough already. Marbles tell a story and I love discovering new and interesting adventures that I find in the marbles. I also love fishing and have recently rediscovered the fun of building stuff with Legos with my kid. I enjoy the hobby much more by sharing it with others and the internet is my best resource for this at the moment.

Could we see these please if they are similarly sized?

2006

Sorry about the eggs...they are newer fakes. I stumbled across them while looking for something else. Carry on.

JABO RDR Birthday "Zebra"

JABO Tie Dye

Sorry I can't take a decent photo of these it is too hard for the camera I am using.

Ann We already have a couple in post 5 ...but I would be happy to try to show you some more of mine where you can actually see them lit up. There's only one machine made out there that looks like that marble with the blue aventurine too.

Here are a dozen 3/4" JABO March Madness marbles for comparison

I believe the 3/4" marble in question is from JABO March Madness in 2008.

Cool beans ...I mean beads

The glass marbles are almost all Vacors and JABOs as the others have said.

It is when I am talking
