  1. Not quite sure what to say, my condolences to his Family and the many friends he had.
  2. I think all the fruit cocktail's (salad) and similar pelts have a transparent clear base, I can't really tell if the base is trans or opaque in those pix ?? I looked again and what looks like a black appears to have some clear in it ?? I wish there were some individual pix w/ multiple views for a more concise ID ??
  3. If you were thinking of Alley Carnivals, yes, Black, red, and green are the same colors but I don't think those are carnivals or Alley, they are nice marbles and whoever outbid you I bet was banking on Carnivals not pistachios.
  4. I noticed that box yesterday while I was looking @ CW = https://www.collectorsweekly.com/art-glass/marbles/auctions have it saved to my watchlist to see the final, I've noticed a lot of Akro boxes for sale recently, let us know if ya win Art "Good Luck" Here's the link to another I look @ daily to see if anything new comes up, ebay sales but a little quicker and more complete ; LINK :: https://picclick.com/Toys-Hobbies/Marbles/?q=marbles
  5. Definitely Contemporary, not seeing Bulgarian w/ the large grind mark, not sure who made it ??
  6. x3, master (L) Vacor Serpent (R)
  7. x2, Seeing Alley here also
  8. "Welcome to Marble Connection Brian" Cane cut Handmade Germans The large one might be German as well but I'm leaning more to contemporary @ this point, the rest appear to be machine mades from several different manufacturers, Peltier, Vitro, looks like a couple Akro and @ least one slag. There are some others but can't make a positive from one single view. Just guessing but this one (from what I can see of it) appears to be a clay marble (called a Bennington ?) Some more closeup and in depth pix w/ 3 or 4 different views of each marble showing any seams if possible are needed for a concise ID. & evaluation. Size can play a large roll also, measurements in fractions of an inch are best. Others will stop by w/ more ID's for ya, condition is 99% of value, rarity taking the other 1%
  9. x2, not bifurcated, bifurcated is 2 different colors of base glass ( a between run marble) Peltier Bifurcated Dragon Bee (cross between a red bee and a dragon) Half Yellow base glass and half Green base glass (no av. in this one)
  10. Akro, along w/ the other early hand gathered slags almost all had a 9 pattern and weare indistinguishable from many of the other early producers, they look very similar since they were made in exactly the same manner. MFC is a little more prominent 9 pattern and the glass itself is somewhat different. I'm not a slag expert, just going by the little I know on them.
  11. Process of elimination has me leaning Akro on the 3 slags, "yes"
  12. You can start any new marble related thread you want, well, almost any go for it. We do have this thread on Vitro. LINK :: https://marbleconnection.com/topic/26195-vitro-lovers-look-here-🥰
  13. Bottom (R) swirl, the other 3 look like slags
  14. A full set of Peltier Comic Marbles for this "Peltier Tuesday"
  15. Just wondering where the term "puce" swirls came from ?? Never heard it before & can't find it anywhere ?? The link is for Joe Streets old ID site he built on for years before he passed. We keep the link here for provenance and as a remembrance of Joe, not counting the continuing accuracy of his ID's.

  16. Here's my printers drawer, I went for the maximum storage look, I had to tilt it quite a bit and raise it a good ways up on the wall away from prying fingers, I've sold it since, went to curios instead ... ..... now I use gallons of glass cleaner to wash off fingerprints .....
