heres is the first 2 marbles for id.. thanks

I finally found a marble hoard at an old beat up hole in the wall jam packed antique store going out of biz in the big city near me. a 7.5 liter plastic cat litter tub full of marbles..

paid $25 was mostly full of cats eyes and clearies of course ..lol good old manitoba.. but i did manage to find a few that had promise. 

I ll post pics of the ones i need id's for in  other posts.. thanks

first here is the ones (32) i found that  im keeping (no need to id them yet)  and the other pic is the ones i will use for my gazing ball and some to my sons.

no fire in the green one.

and the blue one could be a master brushed patch icecap. just saw one on joesmarbles although it had a light blue which could just be lighting.

thank you.

got another few i need to id 7 in total.

first 2

Congratulations on the wild find!

 

Those are two marbles?  I was picturing it as three.  Two in the top group, and the the green and white one.

So the top is red, blue, yellow and of course white?  I'm wavering between Akro and Vitro on that one.  

The neatness of the blue and red on the equator make me wonder if I should be thinking harder about Vitro, but right now I'm leaning Akro.  Tri-Color Agate.

I'll guess Alley on the green and white, but I would feel better about that if it were an inch instead of 3/4 of an inch.   

 

thank you..

the green and white one is 1" and the red blue and yellow one is 3/4 "

on my screen shows the red blue and yellow one show first then below that the green white one comes second. 

something happened today that rarely happens like once or twice a year.

I found marbles in the wild on rural Canadian prairies. and they are not cats eyes .. lol

anyways. here is 2 of the flea market finds. 25 cents a piece.. i can tell they are old. and they have been played with excellently.

1st one is  .75" and the second one is 1"

kind of has a vitro  conqueror or phantom conqueror look to it..

There nice, I like them a lot.

I have two that resemble them and could be the same. I'll have to hide and watch.

Mine are 7/8" with yellow. The red is very dark and hard to get a decent picture of the inside.

 

 

is that a Jabo ?? i have something like that too. these are Jabo's

could any of them be Akro Cardinal reds?? 

thank you.. i cant wait to get them in hand to take some better pics..

here some different shots. i haven't received it in hand yet. so only have these pics to go by.. 

A ebay win

another of those many makers title that doesnt know what they are..

i liked them 

thank you

thank you..

i know jabo made some white base marbles with red blue and yellow frit with some lutz called them birds eggs but the pics i have seen the frit looks smaller and a little more of it.. also i have seen 2 or 3 like that one, that are being sold as Jabo's.. so I  was hopin it was too...

first 1 i think is a Vacor and the second i think maybe a.Jabo Im not sure on either though.

Love the bright shade of green.  Not all that easy to come by the bright ones.

cool.. i love all the bubbles. just like a bottle of 7 up.

sounds good to me... i'll mark it as a  1993 Champion whirlwind swirl by Dave McCullough. i like Dave's marbles..

its .610" in size or 15.5 mm

thank  you all

Another One I got in a local thrift store auction.
