Nice indeed 👍

Agreed, something new and unknown every day 😊

I kind of had that feeling it would backpedal from $10, which I did hesitate with. I was pegging the majority if not all of the marbles of question as commons and looks to be the case. Was hoping the bag would help 🤔 Thanks for the thoughts, Ron!

Yes it does...

Sorry about the photo, didn't have alot of time too sort for better shots as it was almost closing time!

I visited one of my antique haunts after work and one of the ladies that works there had some mibs too show me...she is interested in selling them and asked me what she had and what too ask for them. For the pile plus the leather bag they are in, I took a shot and said maybe $10. A good portion are cat's eyes and clearies, but there are some Marble King, Vitro and Pelt mixed in too (those of which I scooted to the right). I told her I would gather some opinions regarding ID and value then get back with her on Saturday. Also, wondering if the bag itself as far as origin? I don't see any identifying features, Mark's, etc; anywhere on it. She did state that she has seen this same bag before. Thanks for your input, my friends!

Thanks for all the input, references and sharing folks! Always appreciated 😊

Thanks for sharing...that is a nice set. The tall chocolate/peach set I posted, I'll have to try to identify them by other characteristics as they are not marked at all. I didn't pay much for my single 851 or the set (from a private seller), so I'm happy either way, no matter the value. Love the slag 😊

Thanks for sharing and shedding more light on this subject, Ron. I will continue to listen, look and learn 😊

You and I? Oh boy, look out Coulee Region! Yeah, I need to get back to Lacrosse...haven't been to that 3 story mall for some time now. Every time I go there it's Akroware heaven. There's always stuff there. It's definitely a VERY tough place for one to stay within one's budget!

That would be a blast!

I remember growing up as a kid in Indiana, so much snow one year, around 1975, we got snowed in bad. Had to exit the house from the second floor windows! We lived in the country so I'm sure wind aided with the drifting but still, these days don't compare to then!

Yeah, same here. Seems like more brown Christmas's then white in recent years. Even the weekly outlook going through December doesn't show anything below 30 for daytime highs until late December. Also been seeing the bulk of our snow come from January through March. Poor Mother Earth, she gets crazier by the year.

Yes it is! Today, tommorow and Tuesday is supposed to be lower 70's and sunshine then back to late October reality with 40's for highs Friday and after 😐

Here are some of the roughly 50 or so I have...pretty close?

A name and a face...Officially, Welcome to MarbleConnection! I've been here since late March and absolutely love every aspect of this website. New friends as well as mentors for a hobby I have throughly enjoyed and glad to have gotten involved with. Enjoy and again, welcome to the family 😊

Pre-Halloween Bazaar held by the Mabel United Methodist Church. We donated a piece of window frame art, an old barn window left as is with a cross covered in lavender and yellow flowers painted onto the old glass...it fetched $25. Plus we spent $55 ourselves (or she did, she held the number card 😁), so a good day. Between the free will donations for the lunch and the auction, I'm pretty sure the church raised around $2,000! Very happy! Good job too all the volunteers, patrons and Fillmore County Commissioner Marc Prestby as auctioneer! Happy Halloween!

Not sure if they have them over there, but if you score any, I will take some Bottlecaps Candy when you get back from trick or treating 🤪

Awesome 👍

These are very similar to a handful that I have...I'm sure I posted them for ID quite some time ago but don't recall the maker?

Wow, they are identical to mine in construction

The "molding is similar compared to my single piece so I'm thinking Houze on this pair also 😊

Love it! Happy Birthday, young man! 🎂

Very cool, Chad! I haven't put any focus on purchasing marble related games as of yet, the only thing somewhat related to this area would be a little plastic hand held pinball game from the 70's that uses little steelies. Can't really say that I have come across anything while in the wild yet, Maybe I did and just overlooked them while focusing on other stuff. I think its time to widen the scope while out there! 😊
