  1. I'm "Brain dead" this mornin next mibber will have to give it a whirl
  2. I must be experiencing a "brain malfunction" a little slow on the draw this morning. I'll get it here shortly (I think ??)
  3. Is the first pic a coffin William ?? I can see what appears to be a Duck, guess maybe I'm a bit on the blind side ??
  4. "West Virginia Wednesday" A score from last year, all Alley (I think ??)
  5. I knew Steph beat me to the punch, just found an outstanding link about marble names and "old terminology" she posted LINK : https://marbleconnection.com/topic/19377-marble-vocabulary-from-the-past-from-other-countries/ Another favorite "Bamboozler" Well it doesn't say "Bamboozler" but I think I get the idea !!
  6. I got this in remembrance of my Baby Brother Tony that passed in 2014. He had tattoos of scorpions on both forearms, one black & one red. @ a little over 4" a big sphere, of course it's polymer otherwise the scorpion would incinerate (I think ??) The scorpion is UV. as Rick would say "It pops"
  7. A few Display Links right off our search bar : LINK : https://marbleconnection.com/topic/27786-post-your-marble-displayscollections/#comment-240400 LINK : https://marbleconnection.com/topic/26716-new-displays/#comment-230580 LINK : https://marbleconnection.com/topic/27450-your-best-marble-display-stand-ideas/#comment-236559 There are more display links here but the search is temporarily out (I guess) expect it'll work better if I'm not at the helm ??
  8. x2, I agree w/ Tommy, all look Akro to me also
  9. The two on the (L) & (R) side are pelts and I'm only guessing but I think the one in the center is Vacor

  11. I think they're Alley !! I have Turkey Looking heads on a wide variety of different mibs ??
  12. Anything to make it a little easier to search, Ebay can be frustrating as I'm sure we all know
  13. "Welcome to Marble Connection" Agree with Navarre for the I.D. yes, that is a pontil on yours, Navarre are single pontil marbles. Glad you decided to post, keep em comin !! A link w/ a little marble history for ya and an explanation of how, whom, where & when Navarre (Leightons) were made . LINK : https://oldraremarbles.com/product-category/leighton/#:~:text=Collectors call his marbles “Navarres,in most – Navarre%2C Found a few for sale on Ebay for ya to take a look @ if you'd like ?? Some are probably miss I.D. as usual on the Bay LINK : https://picclick.com/Toys-Hobbies/Marbles/?q=navarre+marbles
  14. An unfortunate mishap as Gramps was my slingshot ammo provider as a young man ( marbles of course) I often wonder how many $$ I shot out into the wild blue yonder ??
  15. Love it Steph, can't get enough !!
  16. "Happy Peltier Tuesday" A pink base NLR, no name I know of & yes in hand the base glass is even pinker than it appears in the pic.
  17. Jabo is good, bet that's a new one to some ...
  18. Can be more than one word, a "personal choice" many may like "boulder' "masher" etc .... but I'm glad to hear you have the same fav as me !! I have to admit several I have never heard before, maybe by the time all is said and done I'll have a new favorite ?? Just posted as a learning tool, I already learned a few new marble words myself just googling it.
  19. What's your favorite marble "WORD" (i.e. certain game, marble name, players, company etc ....) ?? I'll start it off with my personal favorite "TAW" I've listed a few from Google but know it will be added to. Any word (or combination of words) "marble related" A definition for your favorite word would be great !! Foreign Words or Names also count since we are lucky enough to have such a diverse international bunch, "Have at er matey's"
  20. Marble story of a collectors show in California, also tied to National Geographic. Scroll down after you hit the link for a short 2 minute Humboldt marble weekend vid !! Looks like the marble community is getting more & more attention all the time. Finally back on the map ( Kinda I guess ) Thanks again for the lead William !!

  21. I never have had one of these, had a chance @ a 5/8ths mint one, looks like I should have taken a stab at it ??? A big one especially for a red one. All I've seen are @ or very near 5/8ths.
