  1. I have always loved to put old marbles in old boxes for display. This is one of my favorites. All Akro--- Marble--On!!
  2. My call is Pelt Peerless Patches--PPP---all of them. To find four would be a great find--Six is next level. Put a "Pelt Figure" on these and they would "Skyrocket" you to very many future marble purchases ( maybe even a down payment on a car--lol😁 ). Oh well--just dreaming here----they are still very nice keepers for sure. Thanks for the Image--Very Nice--- Marble--On!!
  3. I agree--no CAC here. This one is more than likely a Jabo "classic". "Classic" meaning one that was produced by the factory for general sales through-out the world. This one looks very nice with nice color coverage and a very "Minty" finish.( these bigger Jabo were prone to little white hit marks just from packaging they are very soft in glass terms) This is a very nice marble that would fit into any collection. Thanks for sharing it. Mrble--On!!
  4. They sure do Roberto, I like them but buyer beware, there are repo's of the marbles out there--educate yourself before any purchase of these for sure. I had a numbered repo box that I could not fill with sub-par marbles. Too rich for me! Very collectable to the point of me backing off from these. Good Luck and Marble--On!!
  5. The longer the thread the better imho William--it is a "Frosted Hurricane". I just love long threads. Always feel free to PM me with any concerns about posts--all of you here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!
  6. Hmmm, One is a weak "Miller type" (Burnt Cristmas tree?)-the next is a nice big (but weak Woodie) NLR. Nice miss imho. Niether one will hold it's value here imho. Safe your bucks for the best! Marble--On!!

    Ok Wolf, I can back you up here, I am proud to do so. I am also glad to see you back it up lightly --good job ! Sunlight--better images--It may just be an Alley "Lady" of some sort. Give us your best images here. This Marble does not suck-either-way. @cheese wiil check in when you are done--I am sure of it. Marble--On!!
  8. Some form of a Rooster---- Vacor still makes these and they still are killer--Many different colors are involved throughout the years. Marble--On!!
  9. Just as an after-tought with no proof. I have always tought that Vacor "Frosted" marbles rather than put them out to pasture.( no proof) This may be one of those. The "Frosted" ones always seem to be very nice when coverage is considered and it makes sense to do so--money wise for them. These are just my weird toughts as a collector--who sometimes thinks too much about this weird thing that makes us collect toy marbles😁. I collect and I do my do diligence.--I may just be mental with marbles. I just suck at WVS ID🤢--the rest, well, I get them get pretty well. No marbles suck imho--some are just a tad or so better ( yep sometimes much better--but that is what we do here--try to get to the next level). Collect what you like and keep on collecting. If you are into the money--just stick around for awhile--you never know do you? Are there any out there willing to trade for Bennies--probably not but they are just a thing that you want to keep for some reason (the Chickadee of all marbles). I just love them all--Anything Round!!! Marble--On!!
  10. I like this marble, I am not into names though. I would never polish it--never. It is a very nice Akro. Marble--On!!

    I think Jabo also--a special one. @Nantucketdink may have another opinion though. My call is just a special "Jabo Classic". Nice marble--Great ask! Marble--On!!
  12. Notice the way that the white bleeds softley into the red--this one is a Vacor imho. Marble--On!!
  13. Good job Al Oregon, so many headers so many names. You bailed us all out here once again.👍. Marble--On!!
  14. Maybe it was sold in Africa--just made in Mexico. I have little doubt that there are some folks making marbles in Africa some place--just for us in the USA at least------- Marble--On!!
  15. Yours is a Pelt--no doubt. Marble--On!!
