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 ??

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.

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"

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 !!

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.

Agree w/ Tommy, Leaning way more to Akro than MFC on this one !!

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

$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 $$$

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 .....

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"

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 ??
-
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
