Another form of "Skip Ball" still in working order, I always get mine used but fully functional, I can't keep my hands off

The final $$ I expected it to go a bit higher but looking @ the current economic times not to bad.

Peltier to me (IMO) the blowholes are unfortunately indicative of Peltier, a shade of orange so calling it a Superboy.

An Akro for this "Sundays Best" I'm calling it a Lemonade ox but instead of the standard greenish hue when hit w/ a blacklight this one glows more yellowy orange. The base glass is a little off also. I wasn't even aware it was UV reactive till I hit a group w/ the light & it popped. Size is .753" Here it is pictured beside a smaller 5/8ths Lemonade ox for a base glass color comparison.

Agree

Nice glass Brother

Post pix of yer favorite marble related game, no need to own it if you've seen it & like it post a pic. My all-time favorite is the "Skip Ball" or any form there of, takes me back to my childhood and sooo many good memories

Ah, found it, a relatively long read but it gives the complete story from beginning to end !! Leftover drain field media (clay balls) painted etc... & made to look like marbles, they're are still a lot of them around.

Are they transparent ?? Translucent ?? Or opaque ?? Just wondering

The star is a fake marble, made of ?? I forget but I know they where some kind of fill ?? Someone will chime in w/ the correct I.D. Value is "notta"

Sure loos like glass IMO ??

Kermit is killin me, made my day !!

Yes, sounds just like the "gas shortage" we had in the 70's (not)

Good grief ....

I heard they had to reset all the gas pumps from a max of $9.99 to an unbelievable $99.99, might just be hearsay ?? I'll ask the station owner across the street and see if I can't find out what's up ?? I am Blessed & grateful to have the grocery store within a block 🙏 my truck only gets 10 mi. to the gallon, 460 FORD gas pig

???? ... ....

Nice glass William

Jabo for this "Slags & Swirls Saturday"

Got it, Thanks

I haven't been since 2017 myself, Not @ the Ramada in Tukwila anymore ??

Oh boy .... endless but I do have a couple old standbys I use. And your old standby is also an excellent choice, I try to shy away from price guides anymore, the market is so volatile. I have many, many of Stanley Blocks old hardback books, they are truly the best all arounds I have ever found. I used to call Stan all the time years ago w/ marble related questions, he loved it, always willing to share, I'm not so sure his other half shared the sentiment.
