  1. Ummm--- I do not know if Jabo was allowed to dump into creeks any more. Do not let this stop you--dig away--just make sure that it is legal--or get a bunch of friends to look out for you --lol. Marble--On!!!
  2. I agree--check it and get back to us. Clean up your images--lock your elbows into your ribs--steady, steady--shoot. Sit down if you have to--who cares? Crop them to the edges of the marble and post some more images. Good luck! Marble--On!
  3. I have seen a handfull of these that were used as "Polishing Media". They were made for several reasons but polishing a variety of manufactured items in a tumbler was probably the most used. Mine were all scar-ed up with a flat or "raspy" finish to them. Not worth a whole lot of money--just a cool find to me--and an education that came along with them ---which is priceless. Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!
  4. Ravenswood made more 9/16" sizes than they did any other size. Just as an example, Akro made buzillions more marbles than Ravenswood but Akro are hard to find in this size, trust me I have tried to find them. This one lines up with a Ravenswood but you never know. It is a WVS and I like it. Maybe @cheese will check in here and give us a good ID. Marble--On!!
  5. This is a tuff one--lol. I am leaning towards Vacor. Ya just never know do ya? Marble--On!!
  6. Good call Steph. These were from the time when 7-up came in glass bottles. My Grandma would keep these bottles in the cupboard with a cork pushed into the top after she opened them. The same thing with her beer--she liked it warm. Marble--On!!
  7. X2, a pretty nice one at that. I love thrifting too--welcome to the board--keep them coming. Marble--On!!
  8. Good job my marble collecting friend. A very nice display idea as well. Keep it going--What is next? Marble--On!!

    Jabo?

    I would sort this one as a Vacor. No name from me. Marble--On!!
  10. Lol🤪--- you mean your are starting a marble addiction right? Welcome Pete2226 to "TheMarbleConnection" the oldest marble board on Planet Earth--maybe the whole Galaxy. I may be mental here-- but my first thought was Peltier Rainbo. Both Vitro and Peltier made some very strong--"well cooked" transparent glass. I have been wrong before--before--before this. (many times before this) I can take my lumps and move on. Just food for thought. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    Sometimes you have to look away from the colors and focus on the construction. If Vitro, it would be a weird "Whitie" if Peltier--a weird "Rainbo". The colors line up with both companies--the blow outs do not. I do not remember many Vitro with all-out chip surrounded blow holes. Peltiers are known for this so I lean towards Peltier Rainbo. Nice share--interesting for sure. Marble--On!!

    ???

    Search for the cutlines on this one, they do not line up with the white vs transparent. The white shows an orangish glow--possible opalescent glass. I think that you have a Vitro "Conqueror" here. Marble--On!!

    ???

    I agree with Wolf. I would not call it a swirl--but a catseye instead. This one saw some good play--love it. It could be another--state you impressions here, we all will welcome them. Marble--On!!

    Shooter

    This is a one inch marble, consider the size here. I am on the fence about this one. Vacor ( a weird "Sunset) or--the Akro digs did find some similar to this one--larger sized. The older collectors (yep-older than me😁) called them "Sparklers, I never really got it there. I think that Alox is just not right, I may be wrong--nice research though. All opinions are appreciated. Marble--On!!
  15. This one came from the British Isles imho. Nice Marble. Nice images as well--- All opinions are welcomed. Marble—On!!
