Thanks Ric, that was my best guess as far as color was concerned... -

A little goofy on the banding, but an MK Spiderman maybe? -

Ok, I'll be the first to jump "off track"....this ring was found while metal detecting in rural Spring Grove, Minnesota. It was approximately 8, maybe 9 inches down. The site was an old farm that has been around since the late 1800's. I might also add that the Spring Grove area has a heavy Norwegian influence, which could offer some clues to how this ring found its way here. I want to say it's made of tin, feels like it anyway, very lightweight. So far, I haven't found any information on it's background. After a brief search, I have had it stored away until time allows me too dig deeper (no pun intended 😁) So many possibilities I would think! -
× infinity 😁

Nice row of mibs yourself! Personally, I would like to know a bit more about my green/yellow one. I should post more pics of it with better lighting sometime....

Made from the 1890's up to the 1930's....and the collar came with a tiny bead in it. Wish I had that collar! 😞

The little Czechoslovakian bunny charm. When made, it came with a little collar, which sadly wasn't with him when I found him mixed in with a bunch of old marbles. It's amazing this little guy has survived almost a hundred years without being seriously damaged! Love this little piece of glass 😊

Nice display! 👍

Yeah, no kidding! Super easy to miss chips on these little guys! I haven't come across any larger pieces in the wild as of yet. The biggest one we have is the turtle pictured. An antique mall owner/friend of mine has a catalog with listings of various Wade pieces that shows ranges in size, rarity and value. According to that book, they supposedly marked everything, either "Wade England " or "Wade Eng". But I have seen pieces in places that are so very similar to the Wade look that are unmarked, so I wonder...

Think I picked mine up at a second hand store for like a buck. I like the brighter, vibrant color in yours. Kinda wish mine didn't have the frosted glass, but it is cool looking into the little window 😊

Nonetheless, it's quite the good looking marble 😊

Ha! After I read about chili, tomato and pepperoni, I immediately read your response, Art....I was seeing "more Onions needed" instead of opinions 🤣🤣🤣

I lucked out, Patty urged me to grab it before anyone else could. Maybe because her son dressed up as the "pink bunny" for Christmas? Anyway, it is going upstairs now too the confines of the playroom 😊

I think maybe Akro....some closer pics maybe?

A tire change gone wrong brings out the best in everyone 🤣
