  1. "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
  2. 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 ??
  3. Love it Steph, can't get enough !!
  4. "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.
  5. Jabo is good, bet that's a new one to some ...
  6. 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.
  7. 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"
  8. 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 !!

  9. 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. LINK : https://www.ebay.com/itm/194750882666?hash=item2d580ea36a%3Ag%3A4NgAAOSw4hRh6Fhb&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=
  10. Agree w/ Tommy, Leaning way more to Akro than MFC on this one !!
  11. Nice mib Rick !! Here's one I got last year, no uv, the ribbons go all over this one, @ about .80" so a big "Bomb" For size comparison, next to a 9/16ths wasp and a 19/32nds ruby slipper
  12. $40.00 to $60.00 or more depending on the pattern, the pattern on the one you have is a "Killer" Just me. I've seen a lot more Paid for one, closer to a hundred $$$
  13. I use picclick to search Ebay, quicker and easier for me anyway ... LINK : https://picclick.com/Toys-Hobbies/Marbles/?q=marbles As a second I use Collector Weekly to make sure I don't miss anything. LINK : https://www.collectorsweekly.com/art-glass/marbles/auctions
  14. My best would be "Alley"
  15. Maybe a new thread is in order ?? " MARBLE NEWS" anyone want to pick it up Could cover anything from shows & tournaments to new books, etc .... I figure anything new & marble related would qualify .....
  16. Pic & link to Williams news article he found from National Geographic !! Great "Marble News" LINK :https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/people-are-literally-losing-their-marbles-as-an-old-past-time-rises-again/ar-AAT5AzN
  17. Sounds good to me also, a nice old vintage game. Looked at several different sites w/ this year game (1933 according to color) the average price was between $40.oo & $60.oo depending on condition. I'd make sure it's functional, if you're like me you'll want to give it a "spin"
  18. I see some "transparent" along side the white ribbon in this picture I believe is the base ?? Not sure but the blue appears to be an extra big sized ribbon ??
  19. Found it on the Pelt I.D. site, no name as of yet, just described as A clear based NLR, nice mib, not that common in my book, probably why it's not named yet ?? LINK : https://www.peltiermarbles.info/nlrs
  20. Taken care of man !! No worries !!
  21. I can't even count my "fatfinger" maneuvering of the keyboard !! I just did it again and corrected my mistake (I think ?? )
