Chad G.

Please post a few of your best, not necessarily your favorites but the best condition marbles you have. I'll start with probably one of if not the cleanest marble I have ever owned besides a 21/32nds Purple Popeye I once had. A 3/4" Akro Limeade Oxblood, not even a dimple on the surface of this one, if ever I saw a 9.9 this would be it. I wasn't moving the camera here, it was on a tripod w, a remote. The oxblood actually gives the illusion of motion on this one, a kind of fuzzy rippling effect. Another pic of the same mib. Note the ox still has the same blurry look in the same spots. I thought for sure I was moving so I busted out the tripod, needles to say it wasn't me this time.

Vidreo Fan Base Akro Thumb Pot Akro Patches

Lookin like Akro from what I can see ?? Hopefully it is and there'll be no more ...

A big gaming marble ?? I was going to guess on manufacture but Ron is better at these. I think he has a set of Chinese Checkers with big gamers like this one ??

All 3 of these definitely look Alley to me, as I lean Alley on all the rest of the opaque white based red swirls you have posted, there may be one or 2 that aren't Alley but all the remaining are West Virginia Swirls.

These are both Akro. The one on the left "looks" like an Akro corkscrew and the one on the right is an Akro patch. The one below also appears to be an Akro corkscrew. I'm leaning Alley on the rest you have posted.

I'm sure mine is gonna need a definite resurrection, it's been years. My Father passed in 04 about the time it went in w box , he made it years and years prior to that so maybe fossilized by now !!

Alright Doc ....

I hope ya don't sleep walk with that William ...

I had to bury the wrist rocket my dad made for me, the temptation in my childlike mind was (is) too overwhelming ....

... I probably shouldn't have used a slingshot on all the mibs Gramps gave me when I was a kid !!

Alright, cool !! Looks like my wall, a man after my own heart.

I know I've posted pix of this type before but I really like them, I'm in the process of taking pix of the transparent green base type, so hopefully soon to post. An opaque base "Alley Coral" swirl.

They look Alley to me also in just this one shot, if you have a "carnival" you have a very hard to find Alley. Here are a few pix of some "Alley Carnivals" for you to gander at. These are Bill MCcaleb's (mibcapper) marbles, a long time supporting member of this board, "Thanks" is given to Bill for these pix.

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Great to see yet another generation of collectors. You'll find Pokémon marble collectors here and I'm sure just about every kind of marble and glass related thing possible. A great bunch of people here more than willing to share what they have and know about the great hobby of marble collecting, again "Welcome Cole" -Chad

Some very nice clean little gems, wish I had a solitaire board full of those !!

I just noticed the 3 color Pull, yeah buddy !!

Thanks for posting some individual pix of the opaque Veiligglas swirls you scored William. Not easy to get ahold of over here, pus yours look to be in very nice shape for traveling halfway around the world to get here. Nice

Yeah man, beauties !!

All beauties, close but still not a clue ??

A Veiligglas swirl, not a stacked flame pattern but still I like it. One of my better free hand pix, no blur unless my glasses need to be upped again ?? I don't even want to think about all the retakes I have to do !!

You have a good head start on another board Brother, over half way there

A killer Master indeed Chris !! What a nice clean beauty !!

A killer cat man !!
