  1. Yes, they all appear to be Master to me !!
  2. Not glow in the dark, the paint is just uv. reactive. Glow in the dark is after the light is extinguished the object continues to glow. Common clays though probably old hardly any value except maybe sentimental. I always use a blacklight or tube instead of a uv. bulb or flashlight it seems to work a bit better ??
  3. Bruce is right "no oxblood " and all west Virginia swirls. maybe 6 or 7 alleys, second group second from the left( green & black) looks to be an Alley pistachio, not sure from just one view., The first & largest one resembles an Alley metalic I have but impossible to tell from your pics. The yellow base w/ red are also Alley and are desirable but not high dollar. The second group is by far the best of the two. Some closer clear shots & multiple views of each marble would help immensely.
  4. Already there, thanks for the info though !! I often don't go to my YouTube, to busy with other stuff, so thanx again for taking the time to post here !!
  5. A couple 3 very nice J coats in your first row, Ah what am I saying I like em all !! Handmades are great, I love em, even if the market is slowly going the other way. I have had a definite affinity for them since the early 90's Here are a few pix of a few of mine. Some of the agates may be machine made, I believe they're about half & half in this pic. Glad to see someone else taking an interest in one of my first Mojo. I still collect & love em. Joseph Coats are my favorites.(pic # 14) By the way a "Great" idea on the cats

    Jabos?

    Good again, I see Jabo as well.
  7. I'm good with that Bruce !!
  8. Great race guys "Again" thanks for posting. I watch it on YouTube so I can click on the like, but need to be made aware of new races, I have so many subscriptions on my YouTube I often miss things
  9. Wish I had the room I would take it in a second, never seen anything like it Brad !!
  10. "Welcome to Marble Connection" "No pontils yours are all machine made, the first to look like maybe cat eyes "from this one view " The third looks Asian, maybe an Imperial. "Please" give measurements in fractions if you can. Some more views would be a great help in the I.D. process "Thank You"
  11. Roger that, Peltier Rainbo
  12. A few more Dave made & sent me, these he calls calligraphy flames
  13. These "Meg" teeth are really something alright !! I can see why you like them, the other closeup pix are great.
  14. I'll say Akro on the first & third, stumped on the second.
  15. There not "Fake" Mojo, just not easily identifiable because of rarely being seen here in the U.S. Some are identifiable yes, others closely resemble known manufacturers but just something a bit off. Personally I wouldn't toss anything. Myself, I will not give an I.D. on something that I have no idea on, just state what I know & what it resembles. I want to help as I'm sure "everyone" else does on any marble forum, some of the main driving forces behind all these marble forums is the sharing of knowledge and helping the new collector, things that help us all in the end. In a word "Everchanging" This hobby morphs continually as provenance & new knowledge is brought foreword. I would love to know more about a number of the marbles you have in question myself, and believe that given a little time their identification will become known. Hang in there, we're with you, the great majority is here to help & learn. A few words of encouragement for you as we all love this hobby, it has become a large and very enjoyable part of my life & the lives of many here
  16. it's supposed to be stacking not "Stack King"
  17. Good thing somebody was paying attention, keep us posted if you would William, on the status of this fish or reptile or whatever it turns out to be !!
  18. Some great stuff there William, looks like we have very similar interests. I seen the meg teeth long before the individual pics "very nice" I'll post some pics of my favorite vendor store as soon as I make a trip up there, many displays are very similar !!
  19. Yep !! On second look I agree Steph !! 99% of the Vacor old fashioned I've seen do have that orange peel type texture.
  20. Sounds like maybe a ya got good thing going for ya William. Making friends with the vendors and or owners is always a plus. I have made several good friends that way & our friendships have went far beyond the store or their spaces. Oh !! and the display deal you got is "fantastic" they're not cheap by any means & lighted on top of that. I just bought 2 wall mount locking ones that also needed assembly. I'll be posting some pics of them soon, in other words they're already full, something I've needed for a long time. "Good luck" on you ventures William, looking foreword to more pix !! "Ys" i have cousins in Redding & another small town in California called Redway just west of Redding near the coast, the big blue marble we live on is getting smaller all the time !!
  21. My Grandfather & thus my Mother were from Wisconsin. My great great Grandmother was 100% Chippewa Indian, also from the great lakes region. The Meg tooth sounds great & a pretty reasonable price to. It seems the closer you get to the source the more expensive things get. That tooth would be a couple hundred here at least, 7" is a big one alright. Glad you found a place to get what your interested in at decent prices. Over the years I've made friends with many shop and mall owners & even grew up with a few. Honesty really goes a long ways as long as it's mutual, it took a while but now I know when I'm getting skinned. Strange we have an Onalaska WA. about 45 minutes from here. Truly a small, small world we live in. Really enjoying the pix William, keep em comin I have a bunch of pix of my hobbies & so forth posted if you click on my avatar & the about me section there. I've posted several of the pix before & some I haven't. I'm the big one in all the pix, some are quite old some newer, you'll unfortunately see the age progression in me as you look at the pix. Good grief I feel old !! Also a great deal on the rose quartz, a guy here in town will make you what ever you want, mostly names, inscribed hearts, dice and other shapes. He uses several different gemstones, quartz, amethyst, carnelian, blood agate etc... I'll "try" & remember to get some pix of his work & post it here.
  22. "Yes" I think it' a horse or maybe a cow tooth, if it's smaller maybe goat or something of that nature, but most definitely a tooth. I really like this sharks tooth, I had a fossilized one on a necklace and had some jaws we cut out of a blue tip at one time, you oughta see all the spares they have, inumerable. I'm only 45 miles from the ocean here so I see a lot of this stuff, I even lived there in Astoria where they made the movies "Goonies" & "Kindergarten cop" during my first marriage after I got out of the Navy, of course well before the movies were ever made, I loved living there, I never get tired of seeing this kind of stuff. "Thanks for sharing the pix" Some great memories !!
