x 2, I agree with Steph, Vitro : The base glass & the entire construction are different Bruce, rainbows mostly have one color of ribbons, Vitro's are more a "patch design" & application. This one has green and red, besides being different colors the ribbons or colors don't meet on the opposing side, a rainbow always meets itself even if a fat ribbon on one side and a split on the other side, a general observation, there are always exceptions to the rule in mibs. I can't elaborate anymore I'll confuse myself

That blue base quad twist is crazy nice assortment Tommy only 999, 999,999 colors to go to half way. I'll be posting on Saturday this round, a little slow on the draw, burning my candle at 3 ends right now!!! By the way "Nice Mibs"

Ah the first game is the one I just bought with the green Alley glass cup and also a kids lotto a double game box, I couldn't find it anywhere, good to see the other half, I'll be posting my tiddlywinks & lotto game hopefully this weekend. :thanks Ric"

My buddy's supposed to be here this weekend so I'm taking every pic possible.

Boy that card board is nothin like todays. Look how long it's held up "good show Ric"

Also Akro corkscrews, man new bulb is working well, great pics

x 2, I agree with Bruce 100%, Akro corks

Were havin fun now !!! Most excellent !!

Hmm... Kinda feels like I'm all alone in here ? Perhaps someone will mosey by sooner or later ? These are my friends, they're going to the tryouts for the Olympic synchronized swimming team next year. Lookin great guys ! keep up the good work !! You certainly look better than that other bunch in the pix below, what a cluster.

Looks pretty bleak and baron in here folks, just lookin to shoot the breeze with someone ! Hello ?? Heelooo .................... Not again I'll be back a little later to pester ya In the meantime maybe think on a little subject that's been on yer mind for discussion ???

First ones a killer Ric loaded !!

Ok I found my favorite snow globe, thankfully already downloaded to my P.C. A few shots of the same mib, no pins or anything a few asmade creases and that's it, more like a blizzard, 23/32nds, what looks like blue is a vibrant turquoise veneer that encompasses about 1/3rd of the mib, kinda off and chunky but I like it. Not much on the outside but inside is filled that's why I took the backlit pic, kind of a different lookin one for sure. If it looks like i was moving i wasn't the camera was on a tripod, this is actually how the marble looks, like it's in motion. Side shot looks like some surface air bubble pops but I assure you there are none, just the as made creasing visible at the top of the first & 4th pic.

I don't know how, I've stated it several times I'm I.T. disabled, I have to wait for my friend to come over and do it for me, I got some outstanding Akros this week and have some great pics. Easier said than done, it drives me crazy every time, I've tried before and All I managed to do is erase the chip so I think I'll just wait like always. I sure feel dumb but I guess everyone has their weak points. The pics are there so maybe tomorrow or next week, I hate to repost old stuff & after all the group shots and others I'm at the end of my Akro rainbow until I get these others posted, sorry folks. I just got my first cell from a friend a month ago tells you how far behind I am, I only use about 30 or 40 mins a month so maybe just cancel the thing. & all my pics are on a Sony handy cam, takes good pix but you have to down load from a chip & I always skip a step or something, I don't want to lose the pix I have now like I've done before, it took a while to take them, a couple hundred like always so I don't have to continually call Craig for help, it's a bit demeaning.

Well put Ron, good analogy "Thanks"

Yes "Thank you Al" I looked last night, found them and I do have about 2 quart jars of them. As Ric was saying the reds and oranges on these pops out like a sore thumb, quite bright colors. Good to add a name to the face as always, and once learned hard to forget. Unless you have the occasional brain freeze attacks like me.

ONE more day and I haven't downloaded my new Akros yet, whatever shall I do ??

I will throw mine in for a strange master as well, I have several snow globes, both slightly translucent like Bruce's and one killer transparent 7/8ths I've posted here 2 or three times. Sometimes the mistakes come out better than the original. Good stuff !!

Great info folks, another post that started out so small and bloomed into a great pool of knowledge " Fantastic" just why I'm here, the learning and sharing never ends.

I have 4 just bought 2 more, lets see that's.... well I guess I'll get there some day, I always did like those Pelt replacement marbles in that jar, that's pretty crazy, "Thanks Ron" great pix. Great for my folders "Much appreciated"

Well I got em all except those foreign jobs, I have some but never knew what they where, I always thought the wales were bigger?? Recognized the veneered Vitro and yes I agree on the first one last pic being a Master brushed patch also, just 2,3 & 5, I have 100's of marbles like them in a jars somewhere in every color conceivable. Would be nice to at least know what I have after this many years.

They all look Vitro & master to me, I'm not Very familiar with either. Don't collect them only incidental catches. Best wait for a few more to chime in on this one. Best guess is the first 11 pics all look Vitro for sure to me, I think they're called phantom conquerors. And the first one in the last pic sure looks like a Master brushed patch ?? I don't want to mislead so I'm out on this one Tommy.

N.Y.C. is where my Pressman tiddlywinks game is from, I got it mainly for the Alley glass cup in the game, they where always broke because they were so thin. I suppose the glass was made by Alley and the cardboard box and pieces were from N.Y.C. ?? I'll submit pics of 3 or 4 games I just got after my friend downloeds from my camcorder, I still haven't learned as hard as I try don't want to delete pics that took me hours to take.

They look like Japanese pinchers to me ?? Yes very nice
