  1. I’m sorting through a new lot and found these twins . Two seams and a transplanted base in both. I’m showing the different seams on both marbles in these photos. Thanks for any input. I love the color combinations !

    They’re all pretty cool. I’m tempted to get some Vacors , there are certain models that really strike me . I guess it’s inevitable ..
  3. Thank you Steph ! It’s going to be one of my favorites even though it’s chopped in half. I’m on a mission to find a whole one with this color combination now 🙂
  4. Thanks Dindo ! yes I was thinking Marble King or Vitro , I haven’t come across anything with that purple color yet, which might be a clue as to who the maker was. I wish it was a full marble, I jumped for joy when I found it !
  5. Hi all ! I was beach combing in Brooklyn today and found half a marble. The inside is clear translucent. The outside has a large purple surface with what looks like a full ribbon of white and then and a small amount of yellow. Any ideas ? Thanks for any help
  6. Hi all ! Do either of these vintage corkscrews point to any maker ? Thanks for any replies!
  7. I thought I would share photos of my most active marbles under florescent light here , the yellow / clear one on the left is an Akro Lemonade . The two on the top right are Corkscrews, I'm not sure what the blazing shooter mib is - but it's screaming yellow under the UV light ! I have a few Popeyes that glow orange on the yellow colored swirls.
  8. One of the best things about this display is there's really no wasted space, the mibs sit right next to eachother. I will probably order these myself soon as well.
  9. Thanks Steph for your insights ! very appreciated
  10. Upon further in-hand inspection ,I can clearly see the tail on about half of these as I follow the swirl around the marble , fascinating !
  11. Thankyou Steph for your help ! Love this lot , the colors are fabulous!
  12. Thankyou for your informative reply Steph ! I will quarter turn that lineup of 6 and take photos , then quarter turn again for a back photo. I’m curious now to see if they are hand gathered ! I believe “hand gathered” means that each gob was hand gathered one at a time from a punty , then cut to size and dropped into the roller ?
