It started for me in the mid 1980s. Maybe 85 or so. I was visiting my grandparents and my mother went up in the attic and found her old marbles from when she was a kid. There were marbles from the early 1960s on back to turn of the century. I collected anything you can imagine, and knowing they were old interested me. Then when we were at a local antique store, I noticed the owner had some marbles in a case behind the desk. I asked him about them and he loved how much I was interested, so he started telling me about those cool corkscrews I liked so much and others. He sold me a few as I could afford them and I was totally hooked. I asked for old marbles everywhere I went. I thought I had it bad back then... lol if I only knew. But it's just fun, what really matters isn't made of glass.

That's a Heaton Robin Egg. Not sure what you mean by "original Cairo"

Ravenswood Red Raven.

Both Alleys.

Agreed.

No, if you go look at the original post #1, it says the photos were removed partly because of members and moderators? I don't know, it doesn't matter. I found them. At least some. I'm not sure why but I'm sure Alan has good reason as he is a rational person IMO.

It's a common WVS. Not knocking it by saying common, it's still a nice looking marble but a transparent WVS, probably Ravenswood. Spin, clockwise or counter clockwise doesn't mean anything really.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I don't know why it's not working, but here it is!

Agreed on mushroom type.

Earlier than a bullseye and better! Vienna Vitro Superior.

Agreed

Polished CAC.

Vacor.

Alley but not Sistersville. Pennsboro. Thanks Stonehenge!

Well I came here to reference a certain type and the info has been removed. I don't know why, does anyone have a copy of the original post photos? I guess I should have downloaded them.

Looks like Alleys. I don't see any aventurine.

I agree w/Fire

Ravenswood or Champion? 60% to 40% to me, leaning RW.

100% CAC but you already know what I think.

It's Wednesday (barely!) Ric, you should recognize this one I appreciate you buddy!

Even more to Champ at that size.

Looks Champion to me. Size matters though.
