Strong Vitro vote here...Opal?

Not totally sold on this being a "clearie", pretty cloudy with trace lines inside...

But...

Not sure...

The Absolute Truth 👍

Always gotta give a Sparkler some love, Bill!

It would still be cool too see a few of them up close. Help ya figure out what's what (marble type, manufacturer name, etc.) That is if you plan on sorting them 😊

I'll join the fun on this nice, sunny Akro Friday!

Examples I've "lost" too my significant other during the past year or so...😋

I'm glad you "resurrected" this thread, Ann....I absolutely love sharing other non-marble related collectibles. Sharing them AND seeing the "eye candy" of others! Do take note though that some of what I share comes from Patty's collections (with permission 🤣)...she's not into marbles like I am. With that said, I find it peculiar that when missing a marble, I find it displayed in her collections? 🤔 I'm such a pushover, I more often than not don't get them back either 😊

Nice topic, Tommy...I know I have some somewhere...hopefully join the fun soon...😉

Great discussion....another one too be looked back upon from time to time IMO 😊👍

Amen too this, Andi....I would venture to say most of us have jumped into the marble world similar to the way you did! As stated by Ron and others here and in your other thread, slow it down and do some research before investing. Me, I used the advice my mother gave me regarding railroad tracks when I was kid, following the first "mistakes" I made with aquiring marbles..."Stop...Look...and Listen"... Temper your temptations to spend until you get somewhat of a handle on things. It wouldn't hurt to ask someone here either for advice on future purchases either. Share a picture, a link, etc., and I'm sure someone here would gladly offer an experienced opinion! Have fun 😊

I'm fairly new too this aspect of collecting also, Andi. I've collected anything from antiques to sports cards for the past 35-40 years. But only got into the marble side of things a couple years ago. These folks here at MarbleConnection, they have been doing this for a very long time, some 10 years, some 20, 30, 40, even some a lifetime. Some attend marble shows nationwide. Some have been too the marble factories when they were operating. And some, after they closed, dug at these old factory sites for marbles nobody ever saw. The knowledge is very deep here indeed, so jump in, take your time, and slowly absorb what these folks have put into words and pictures here at MarbleConnection. You will become familiar with a handful of the "regulars" such as Chad, Steph, Ron, Ann, Chuck (cheese), Art (akroorca), and a few others (sorry if I didn't mention 😊),that are tirelessly checking in here too assist, report, share, or simply enjoy each other's company. It's a great place. Really like a second family too me IMO! Enjoy and have a blast! Oh yeah, check out Stephen Bahr, who is also a member here, and his tutorial videos on marbles and manufacturers on YouTube. Top notch learning experience 👍

Looking like you have a mix of modern and vintage marbles. Don't be discouraged if some have little too no value. All part of the learning curve. Plus it's also about what you like! Try posting a few at a time, a few shots of each, including the seams and/or cutlines, and I'm sure someone will assist you in identifying what they are. Someone might also highlight something in that pile if it catches their eye and want some extra looks.
