  1. The second one is a Marble King imho. Marble--On!!
  2. The size of the marble is an important factor in the ID of any marble. Given the text behind one of your images, I suspect 5/8" or so. Pink is a rare color when considering "Vintage" or older Marbles. I would consider another pair of makers here, Master and Akro. This is a tuff one for sure--nice share and ask. Marble--On!!
  3. I agree with you and your statement. The German handmade marbles and the “Stone Agates” were the main competition at the time the glass marble industry started in the USA. Notice that many USA marble companies used the term "Agate" to describe their glass marbles. Good observation here— Nice “Master Made” as well. Thanks for sharing it along with your thoughts. Marble—On!!
  4. I still think like I am fourty--the rest of me does not agree sometimes. Marble--On!!
  5. No sweat Marblesguy, I have to remind myself to look at the dates as well--I still do screw up a bit though. A "like" is always welcomed on all post's here @TheMarbleConnection--no matter how old they may be. Marble--On!!
  6. Yes--"grande"(great) ones-- Roberto. What is the "diametro"( diameter) of these beuties? Marble--On!!
  7. Run, run, run, run----------but educate yourself for sure. Marble--On!!
  8. This is a very nice Vitro imho. Lets call in @Melissa for a final verdict. I will defer to her here. She knows her Vitro quite well. Nice Find--Nice Marble! Marble--On!!
  9. They are a "Novelty" but they are still collected as you show here. If you were into "John Deere", you may find hundreds of them in different styles. You could also collect all of the USA Presidents if you like. Peltier made the “Picture Marbles” a thing and they are still very collectable today—just a tad, tad, tad more vintage than what you are showing here. “Collect what you like” is my motto. Pink Floyd sold an album that actually had marbles in a pouch included with some other mayhem as well. Research these Floyds "just in case". I am sure that there are copies out there. (These are still quite valuable) Marble--On!!
  10. I agree! You decide if it is a four color Cork, a rare find for sure. I cannot tell from here. Just use a loupe and be honest with yourself. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  11. These Jabo "Boxed sets" are very collectable. I am not a collector of these but plenty of Marble folks are. These at least give a good description of the "varients". @Nantucketdink is an expert at ID on Jabo marbles. He may give some advice here. Collect what you like with no reservations. Marble--On!!
  12. I am sure that there are quite a few that do this--collect by sizes. I do not but it sounds like a very fine and rewarding experience to me. "You do you" and if you ever need any help finding one--contact me by PM (Personal Message) I am always willing to help out a fellow collector--always. Marble--On!!
  13. Once again I will defer to @YasudaCollector and @shiroaiko. This one looks Asian to me. Marble--On!!
  14. @shiroaiko and @YasudaCollector can give an excellant assessment here. I hope that they chime in on this one. Marble--On!!
