  1. Pelt Rainbo, late 20's early 30's, the earliest Rainbo type were the baseballs I believe, all with opaque white bases
  2. Never heard of a "Tweeter" tweener yes, not tweeter !! OP is a Rainbo IMO
  3. No pistachio, no uv. still Alley IMO
  4. No, those are 2 Alley oxbloods, the only 2 Alleys in the pictures. 4 of the ones in front are over 3/4 " all are wet mint. it took a while but I got some good deals on some great marbles
  5. These Japanese fishing net floats were all over the beach when I was a kid, now !! Nothin, the glass on these is extremely thick. When I was a kid we found these triple this size, allot of fish musta got away or been tangled in the net ??
  6. Seeing Akro, mixed Ade base makes no sense to me. Ade base means it reacts to uv, either it does or it doesn't. This is another attempt to build a mediocre marble up to something it's not. If the description wasn't there would you still be drawn to the marble ?? A good marble will sell itself. But buy whatever you like, you're the only you, you have to make happy A shooter is around 3/4ths" starting out, 9/16ths is to small, 5/8ths to 3/4 are target marbles. So when they refer to the marble as being a shooter @ 9/16ths ?? The OP is an Akro patch with oxblood IMO. Personally I would give $15.oo-$25.oo at the most for this marble, I have been collecting since 1984 and have seen just about everything. I quit buying off eBay in 2002, bought from shows and other collectors ever since, better prices and better marbles, I like to haggle and trade to. I have found a little patience will give you exactly what you want and in the condition you want it. I have loads more oxblood but I really like some of these.
  7. looks like it's had a professional polishing job to me to, the colors are muted and the holes appear to have sharp edges IMO
  8. Tweener, almost a liberty
  9. beyond pocket ware, those are hit marks, a well loved marble
  10. Not a silver oxblood IMO, Looks like a big difference between these and the eBay auction probably why it only went for $20.oo, it would be the cheapest mint shooter silver ox I've ever seen.
  11. Is the blue base transparent ?? if so yes a slag, most likely an Akro. Slags all have a transparent base no matter the base color.
