Looking through some clearies and iridescents. Are carnival glass marbles a real thing? Saw some described this way. Just wondering.

Love them all. Thanks for sharing. Didn't know all these existed.

I'm cleaning house today, Steph. Can send you some WV dirt. 

I find myself asking random people if they have/collect marbles. There is a mower repair shop in Ravenswood and I fight the urge to call the owner and ask if he collects marbles. He just looks like one of those people. I also imagine searching an abandoned school yard and finding lots marbles. 

Sale is in Pt Pleasant, WV. Keeping with the red eyed Mothman theme.

Nightmare material. Some repurposing is best left undone.

A little scary, but creative. Offered at a local estate sale. Thought some of you might want to snap this up.

Best of times ahead for everyone. 

Thought I would revive this post today! Need a little musical interlude. Watched the Linda Ronstadt movie, so all those songs are running through my mind. Heart Like A Wheel, All I Need to Know with Aaron Neville. Gorgeous.

Love this. My brother in law said he had thousands of marbles when he was a boy. 1940s. He showed me the 6 he had still. "What happened to all the rest"  ..." I got a slingshot" 😁

Really like the color combo.

Thank you Steph for the information. Spherophile's pic is really something. Now I want that one! I didn't know there were actual "marble" machines. I, too have seen a regular one filled with marbles. Supposedly, the one I posted was from the Vitro Agate office. A former employee has it. I'll pass.

I really want this. It's not cheap, but it's calling to me. Anyone want to talk me out of it?

Really like this. Thanks for sharing.

Lots of work that paid off. Really nice. I posted a Jabo advertising marble in general discussions yesterday. If you don't have one, I'd send this one to you.

I got it right!!! Anyway, it would make it easier if they had a little initial on them.

So, I'm pretty sure this is a Jabo. 😉 Anyone know from when? It's newer with the 800 number. Just curious.

I'd wondered if newer ones glow, too. Good to know 

I was thinking Asian, modern, but I'm happy with Vitro. They are about 3/4 ". Thanks again.

Thank you, Steph.

The red on these looks painted on. 

Thanks to both of you. It is similar to Akro slags on Ebay now that I know what to look for.

Tried to show the pole better. The 3rd pic is opposite the other 2. Its almost like it starts and ends in the same area.

Came in a box from flea market. There are Vitros, MK, various swirls in the mix.

5/8. Don't know if old or not.
