Nice score !! Akro "Lily vase" Akro "Toothpick holder" Akro "Maple leaf ash (trinket) tray Akro "Tooth[pic holder" Akro "Toothpick" Probably another toothpick, maybe Imperial ?? Seen em before, forget who makes em ?? There's a Hallmark stamped on the bottom -
Almost "Mole thirty" gonna be livin in the dark for a bit 😒 Not the happiest camper either, gonna get out a bit and enjoy what's left of the sunshine before the rains set in on Friday. Just a "Walkin the Dogs" I guess !! Maybe they're walkin me ??

This is how I display the same mibs as the previous pic now. A mib stand made entirely of deer antlers, made by for me by a close friend of mine, the feet are carved into Morel mushrooms, though separated by the span of the States we are both avid wild mushroom pickers as well mib collectors, a treasured gift !!

Better hurry William, fall is almost sprung here, no more above 70 anymore w/ the first rain in months forecast for a week straight starting around Wednesday !! And a 37 deg. in the mountains (foothills) i.e. 1500 feet, where I used to live as a kid

The wooden one I have is the same story. I can imagine after I put a mirror behind it, dust, webs, whatever & you really have to work at it to get it out. Blowing doesn't work, just makes it worse most of the time but I love the display. It looks so good full of mibs, maybe e I'll try some kind of small uv lighting tape for added "Bling" I guess is how you'd say it. I just noticed, besides the thick rubber o rings I use I also use polymer stands just like yours !!

Still says "Can't locate" ?? I guess we'll wait till someone else chimes in to see if it's me, usually anything below 25 MB I have no problems w/ on my phone but I'm using my pc so I don't know ?? I'll try something else !!

"Welcome to Marble Connection Mike" Glad to have you !! If it's about marbles or marble related subject matter you'll more than likely find it here, with many folks more than willing to share what they know. If there is a specific topic you wish to research there is a search bar located at the top right hand side, It'll show all related posts. Again "Welcome" feel free to post away !!

In can't get an Image Brad ?? It just refuses to upload ??

Is that one UV. reactive or is the light just reflecting off the base color giving the illusion of a slight UV. reaction ?? Glowing is when exposed to regular light it "remains glowing" after the light is removed, UV. reactive means it appears to glow only when exposed to UV. A sticking point I know but there are newer marbles that "glow" and some that are UV light reactive. Sorry, no ideas on I.D. on this one ?? Here are a few pics of a good reaction to UV. Regular daylight bulb Same marbles under a blacklight tube A UV. reactive based glass marble will generally light up like the sun when exposed, appearing to almost be putting off it's own light. The same mib in hand

Yes !! Have seen green bricks w/ just a tint of green, transparent green base or opaque green, Here's a sale of a partially tramsparent Killer from a recent Ebay sale, Note the "cut line". I believe yours to still be MF Brad, maybe someone will chime in for a bit more info on this subject ?? Another highly transparent one sold by Zaboo a couple years ago, demonstrating the highly variable bases in green bricks, evidently just a little tint is enough to call it a green brick. Another older transparent base brick sale from Ebay Though a "cutline" is present I believe they're still considered to be made by MF, weather white, green, black, or just a regular ox brick (excluding Akro)

Yeah !! A sure winner in my book !!

Bibi vs. punkin = Godzilla vs the ant !! I was watching punkin play, or was he watching me ?? It doesn't look like much get's past him, he's pretty crafty. His little mind seems to be just a hummin, he watches everything like a hawk !! I couldn't help it, I found it so had to post it !! Well, I guess I didn't "Have to" "Now I know an ant can" move a rubber tree plant !!

Agree w/ Steph on first 2 & on # 3 Champion or maybe Alley ??

If I ever get around to it I'm gonna try and build a couple wall mount shadow box displays like that. I have the shadowboxes just have to replace the backing. easier said than done I guess, they where a lot better constructed than I first thought. But I'll get er done (someday ??)
