  1. It's a first for me too. I've seen pics of them but this is the first I've found. It's got a couple pops but it's still a nice marble. Nice exotic John!
  2. A Neon Conqueror shooter (I think all of them made were shooters).
  3. Cool bag! I think I have a similar bag but smaller. I think maybe it has shooters in it.
  4. Thanks, I just saw yours... must have missed it before. Nice group!
  5. Yes, in bright light it does, especially the one on the right. The brown ones are actually a shade of purple. I didn't notice at first but they do appear to be brownish in the pictures. I'll try to edit them and see if I can get a truer representation of the color. Not sure if it's the camera or the lighting that caused it.
  6. There are some nice Akros showing up here! I just picked these 2 color snakes up. They are the more common color combo, but still the 2 colored ones don't come along all that often.
  7. Hint taken I posted them in the correct place.
  8. A box of them I recently acquired. This looks like a Buddy box but there's no name on it.
  9. I saw the teals and my mind went straight to Alley and ignored the rest of them but when you said Ravenswoods, I had a "duh" moment and realized there was a mistake. I'm not so sure there is anyone who can differentiate those teals from the ones Alley made at Pennsboro. They look identical. I need to get them out and some that were dug at Pennsboro and put them side by side to see if there are any differences. I think if anything, it will be the white of the base glass.
  10. Sorry, you're right, I posted these in the wrong place.
  11. Like a snowy night, or what I imagine as a snowy night since I live so far South that I rarely see snow, lol.
  12. cheese

    Pretty

    Akro for me as well. I have a cork very similar to it.
  13. Yes it does! Like "The Eye of Sauron"! That thing is wild!
  14. I had pretty well convinced myself that was AV in the pic, so I couldn't shake the Jabo ID. Alley sounds good to me too.
  15. Tough one... the only thing that comes to mind is jabo or cairo. Leaning jabo. Is it 5/8"? Is that a clump ov AV in the bottom right pic?
  16. I can tell you have high hopes for them, but unfortunately they aren't rare valuable handmade marbles. They appear to be marbles made for glass transport. Glass has to be shipped somehow, and often it is made into crude balls to be loaded onto rail cars for shipment, then remelted into whatever the next use is... often fiberglass. The color can vary but blue-green is the most common and trash, wrinkles, bubbles, and strands of other colors and contaminates is common in them. It's just industrial grade glass. It can be fluorescent or not, it's just whatever scrap glass got melted down for stock. They are rough and have these characteristics because they are mass produced on machines with little to no quality control or concern about bubbles, wrinkles, colors, or anything at all really. Not collectible really other than as a novelty.
  17. It does look like a Jorkscrew.
  18. No doubt! I agree with y'all though, alley and maybe sistersville.
