Not seeing Vitro ?? Maybe a W.Va. swirl of some type, I'm on the fence as well !!

I have a few of them, I think it's called a "Gasp" i.e. Bengal tiger & wasp hybrid ?? At least I've seen them called such & sold as such ??

Head gear would be a definite plus in here in my "2 armed" world !! But I guess maybe I have enough trouble running 2 arms w/ a one track mind ? .... Agree w/ Ron on the lighting situation, I finally have a satisfactory setup, got some good pointers from Ernesto (MRCOM) @ AAM on this link :: Simple setup, highly effective and most reasonable $$$ to assemble I've seen.

#52, #25 ?? Letter Z, Letter S, you decide, could go many ways

I see a good possibility of it being "Imperial" or some other Asian manufacture

Whoa !! Guess certain sellers are reaching new heights in the "name game" trying to "$$$$ in" on the unwary mibster !! I hope they try coming here before any impulse buys !! Definitely not Akro or Pelt for that matter !! My best is a newer manufacture, possibly Vacor or maybe Chinese ?? Casper the "Friendly ghost" Oh brother !!!!! I suspect maybe a wolf in sheep's clothing Same seller w/ the rare and dreaded "Root beer Banana cats eye" ?????? And double "Whoa" ????

Agree w/ Alley on both

x2, I see Alley as well

"Amen" Brother !!

"Happy Akro Friday" Trying a bit of the "Group Mentality" approach out today !!

Salright Ron, I have some "not so good" days also, just hope I can keep my composure as well as some others ??

Proof it melts in your mouth not in your hands ....

A keepsake pinback from my Childhood hometown (7 miles away) back then the main event was beer pitcher races between bars w/ everyone on the sidewalk cheering the participants on "if they made it to the finish" there's a reason it was called "Rainier Daze"

Some "marble related" pinback characters, most from "Syndicated Press Comics" made by Kellogs in the 40's, 95% of these are Peltier comic marble related, the Superman is Akro related as well. Superman, guess he could be Pelt or Akro related ?? Anyway all round & all marble related, even the size is !!

Meeyeah !!!

Looks like "Alley" to me

A gift from a great "Marble Friend" overseas in the Netherlands

Nice one Dave, ghost core is a definite plus

Told ya I'm human Dad, look I can walk just like you !!

Possible relative of Chewy's found ......

Really Reaching, Rubber armin it: Whoever you bought it from had the correct I.D. bullet mold "yes" but not positive about the Czech part !!

There they are, sorry but I'm a bit to tired to take any pix tonight, "Thanks" for posting the pix Rick

"Happy Thüringen Thursday" I probably already posted these, my baby Brothers favorite Antique marbles "Sulphides" he called the "Picture Marbles" commons but that's what I like. First a Donkey @ 2 & 1/16th" A super clean "Barnyard Pig" @ 1.54" w/ only the slightest bit of trapped air around the figure.

A nice sized one @ that

A couple pix of the proud parents, I couldn't resist man, I love my kids. First the watchful Mother "Sissy" keeping an eye on baby Tubby A picture of the Proud Father (Buddy) w/ his son Tubby resting on his back, both taking a snooze after a couple hours of training Just before the break, more energy than you can shake a stick at. The King (Buddy)and his Queen (Sissy) boy I really miss Buddy, the smartest dog I ever had, even tried to talk like a human said "Ma Ma' clearly, sounded just like a child trying to communicate with his parents, maybe I should have called him "The Brain" and her "Pinky"
