My Grandfather, who was born in 1914, gave me his childhood marbles in the 60's when I was young. I have very vague memories of the event, but not good enough to remember what the marbles looked like. I do remember it being a pretty good mess of them though, so I'm supposing he was a pretty good player. It took me half the afternoon to fire them over the hill in my slingshot @ birds and squirrels. Sure would've been nice to know then what I know now .....

Killer Job Melissa, those painted turtles are too much

Hello Chris, You can copy the link from YouTube and post just the link it like this. While posting it'll ask you to display as link instead on the bottom of the post before submission. Click on that to save us some space instead of imbedding the video. I'll post a few since I'm here I added the header so people will know what they're listening to before they click on it. I listen to a wide variety, from the early 60's up till the early 2000's Easy listening, Rock to Grunge, maybe a little Country every once in awhile & even some Gospel. Good idea BTW #1.

A game for this "Akro Friday" which 2 oxbloods' aren't Akro ?? And what company are they from ??

x3, Alley

A couple different Coffin Boxes w/ German Handmades in them for this "ThringenThursday" forgive if a repost, I have no idea what I have and haven't posted.

Common

Both Onionskins, i.e. Antique German handmade cane cut marbles

Champion "New old Fashioned" IMO

Vidrio fan base

Which one ??

KNUCKLED "ON" .......

A Vitro "snake" kinda ?? No head and tail, but ??

Looks like a sparse Veiligglas IMO ?

x2, Vacorv Ladybug on the opaque red & Vitro on the other

Check out the extra shooting arm on Jr. and the lack of pinky fingers on both, AI, yai yai We must all be "pinkyless" and have deformed hands in the future, I'm freakin out

I know I've posted this Alley swirl before but I found a pic of one w/ some Av. cullet next to if for this "West Virginia Wednesday" Av. cullet slab Different Based marble same av. cullet

Tomato, tomato I fixed it = Was I correct on the base and ribbon on the blueblood Art, just for future reference ?? Something like this ??

Not 100 on the Akro ox, all the bluebloods I've seen are on an opaque white or offwhite base w/ a blackish blue corking stripe, I may be wrong. Wait to see what others say @akroorka is the Akronaut, he'd know about the Akro questions. I think you're right on the Jabo.

Alley IMO

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 !!

Upon second look I do see a certain Jabo trait "the butcrack" guess I shoulda paid more attention to the size ?? Not 100 on the Jabo ID but it's sure lookin that way
