The mib stand and background on these pix look strangely familiar Did I guess right, USMC ??

Yeah, I look forward to the day I have Chalky's the caliber of Chucks or Bill's "R.I.P." he had some killers, Chucks @cheese avatar just kills me I saved these pix of Chalkies, I think most of these are Bill's, Mibcapper's ?? But I'm not sure ?? Gonna post em anyway just because they're so killer, some might be doubles but who cares

I like this one, you can see all the glass flow action going on inside it !!

Here's a link for ya on Whisplers ; & some more vids by Stephen Bahr on an array of different manufacturers. LINK :: https://www.youtube.com/@stephenbahrtube/videos A sales link so you have an idea of what you have ; LINK :: https://picclick.com/Toys-Hobbies/Marbles/?q=whispler+marbles

Yes, UK you're right on the money, they look to be in pretty good shape, some keepers.

They look like foreign made "Whisplers" do you have a measurement on them, preferably in fractions of an inch, these are probably around 3/4ths or better if they are Whisplers. Vitro never made sunbursts, Sunbursts are Master marbles which these resemble but I am pretty sure are not. OH, I see now the 1" measurement in the header, I'd say they're all Whisplers, not master or Vitro, but foreign made.

Found this on Feebay, you tell me ?? I've been hearing of a "Peltier Volleyball" for yeas & seen many different marbles that obviously were not of the same manufacturer, so we need some provenance on this type. Only problem is most locations are buried or ar no longer accessible. Hands are tied for the meantime no matter how much I "want something to be" now I know where Bill got his name "Mibcapper" LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256041305732?hash=item3b9d404684:g:7QQAAOSwj~JkNjYy

That was a nice score man !!

Many Marble King cats have av but they don't look like yours Brother, I agree with yours being foreign made. I have a few green veined ones somewhere w/ av , not sure who made them either ??

I was gonna say Lemon Lime but it seems there are two different bases for them, one translucent and one opaque, though the color scheme is the same so I guess so ??

Boy scout is an MK ID, i.e. blue and yellow. WE used to call your OP "Girl Scouts" I am somewhat amis as to the actual name they use for your OP now. If it were me I'd call them John Deere but we all know what everyone is calling a John Deere now is a yellow base w/ trans. green ribbons, the exact opposite of what I consider it should be.

Mica in marbles should look like this. The mica is added onto the cane, not mixed w/ the base glass, this being the reason it usually only appears near the surface. There are some rare examples of floating mica throughout such as in a "Blizzard" but a true blizzard is rare. All these are over one inch, so the chunks of mica are, or can be larger. The smaller handmades tend to have smaller chunks but can have larger ones. There is usually an exception to every rule. Seeing no mica in the OP pix, multiple fractures impacts, maybe a hammer or something, doesn't look like marble hits, both in the OP look machine made IMO.

Yes, this was Ron's last post here Brad (6:34 PM,11th) his last post on AAM was (@ 7:21 AM, 12th) probably the last things he did was to check in before tending to his property. I never met Ron but I do sorely miss him !!
