  1. Please remove the ball bearing, every time the steel touches the glass marble it causes damage, just put it in another jar if ya want to keep it,. value is next to zero if anything at all. Yes they were packaged and sold as marbles years ago but they are ball bearings.
  2. Fort a proper I.D. present them 3-4 at a time with a view of each end or seam and each side for a more accurate I.D. It might take longer but you'll know exactly what you have
  3. Akro corkscrew, Akro patch bottom :: Best guess W just one view
  4. peppermint swirl LINK : http://grandpamarble.com/html/gm2205.html
  5. X2, Pelt Rainbo's on all 3
  6. Pelt Blue Panda, nice to find one in this larger size
  7. Imitation CAC, the cuts are all wrong, it's a contemporary attempt at a CAC IMO
  8. Definitely foreign, not sure about Imperial but either way foreign
  9. Looks contemporary to me as well
  10. Best and cleanest UV. onyx I've ever had, went in the auction in 09, Asta la vista
  11. Hi Cynthia "Welcome to Marble Connection" Have fun here on your marble journey !!
  12. Agree W transitional, the opaque colored ribbon doesn't make it from pole to pole plus it has the spider web like pontil of a transitional.
  13. Not 7-up's Rainbo's IMO LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/42897-peltier/#comment-356495
  14. MCR, yes NLR liberty's are all opaque white in base
  15. Well if you're thinking Ruby Slipper it's not like one I've ever seen. Usually loaded with bubbles and the surface is full of dimples. I've probably had at least 10 of them and they all had one stand out ribbon W the other side being lesser. Here are a few examples my Friend Terry has sold in the past, I'll try and dig out my pix. Never seen one without a myriad of bubbles inside, you can usually recognize them 10 feet away, an easy I.D. http://grandpamarble.com/html/gm2016.html 2.http://grandpamarble.com/html/gm2336.html Looks like they're questioning what it is themselves, I think "Grannycamps" might be one, but the others I question, just as they do themselves. Never seen one like this, the ribbon and glass color are both off. They even have a ? below the pic
  16. How he lived through all that is a miracle fer sher,. he took a lickin and is still tickin.

    Test

    You need a neutral, colored background. I've found grey to be excellent. Their are certain marbles that white or black background works better on but using a neutral color will benefit you on the majority of the pix you take. The focus is excellent BTW. Neutral colors will stop the majority of reflection and refraction you are getting on the surface of your mibs.
