  1. This is just a very nice find, if it were mine, I would carry it around in my pocket for awhile--Just a nice one to carry for sure. If it were mint--you would stick it away and look at it once in a while. Just a fine example of a played with CAC "KILLER" Flame--rustic but cool--very cool. Do not get me wrong--it still carries some value for sure--I would leave it be--as it is. Nice share!! Marble--On!!
  2. Tiger Eyes Carrie Ann, Vitro Agate made them--older is always a question according to your age I was born in 1954--so I was about 6-12 years old when these were made imho. Marble--On!!
  3. Great images my marble collecting friend. Marble--On!!
  4. Yumm----yummm, a hard one to ID with so many images that contradict each other The image ---# seven Imho opinion a Pelt slag I appreciate all opinions an I hope to see some more Marble—On!!
  5. Yep--get it together--you missed me too. Let make this a great one--your idea--get it rolling. Marble--On!!
  6. Very cool--verrrrrry cool. It is a Vitro IMHO but it looks like a cross between a "Caged Cat" and a "Conqueror"--pretty nice find! Good eye!! Marble—On!!
  7. I do not blame anyone for backing off on this one. It is an extremely weird marble. The indents or smooth little round marks that drop towards the middle are just weird to me. I have seen them before but not so many in one marble. Image one shows what I believe is Opal white glass. This one is a WVS of some make imho. Marble--On!!
  8. Nice share here Da Roberto. This is a first for me--foil wrapped marbles--pretty cool really @Al Oregon would love these I am sure--just something different for sure. Marble--On!!
  9. Just a simple swirl--nothing special. Nice images-- Marble--On!!
  10. @YasudaCollector may have an opionion here Marble--On!!
  11. "Tracers" were named by "Gino Biffany"--RIP. He was a Telephone Technician back in the day of Telephones. The wires of this old tech carried wire with a specific code—or color variance—some of them carried a stripe vs a solid color—a tracer. Gino was the Gentlemen of Peltier collectors—What a great guy! Marble—On!!
  12. Welcome Hazel-- to "TheMarbleConnection" the oldest Chat group on the web regarding Marbles. You just do your best posting images in the ID section. Well cropped and sharp-- List the size-- three or four at a time with all sides shown (Four). Once again--welcome and I/We hope to see some of what you have to offer. Marble--On!!
  13. These are tuff to ID even for those across the Atlantic in the British Isles. These are not onionskins imho. They are a Newer marble--about 20 years old or newer--Bulgarian-- Marble--On!! I appreciate all opionions and hope to see some more. Marble --On!!
  14. A Big Woodie----Just a tad under an inch . Marble--On!!
  15. That "Black and White Clambroth" just keeps my eye away from the rest of them. I wonder about the name here @Chad G.--if I am right at least. You see way more clams that I do--. Marble--On!!
  16. Slags are considered to be white with a colored transparant base. Cac Slags are a different animal buttttt--the electric yellow CAC slag is the best ever made imho. Marble--On!!
  17. MFC imho GreyMaus--sharper images will do the final job as far as ID goes. Keep them coming and practice-- Marble--On!!
  18. Great images! I agree with Vitro--probably a weird Conqueror. Buttttt--it may be an invasion of a weird alien species🙃. Send this one to a Volcano and never look back. I can feel the worms in my eyes already-- Just a cool marble--Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!
  19. I just love these Pelt Muddies--they come big and small and in-between sizes. Here is a cool image— "Disclaimer"--no damage or injury was done during this shoot, the marbles agreed to shoot this image as long as they were insured. Marble—On!!
  20. What a great find GreyMaus! When taking images what do you use? These micro images can be a drag to get a good clear image with. Lock your elbows into your chest, keep breathing lightly and shoot. Squeeze/Push that button lightly--do not Push/Squeeze too fast--it will pull you out of focus. Micro Imaging is an art and I know that you can master it. I had to master it with film--very expensive but worth the while in learning patience. Now I can go wild and shoot 300 images to pick out the very best with no cost--lol--What a world we live in.
  21. This one is a beautiful Akro Slag. These came in sizes from 9/16” up to 1” with all sizes included in- between. I love a good slag! Marble--On!!
  22. Opal is always hard to ID when orange or red is involved, even in hand. I love opal in a marble and so did many folks that used these as toys because they lit up in the sun light and under the clouds as well--uv light makes these light up--not a glow but just a highlight. If you can push some white light through this one with out getting any colors involved--it will shoe a pinkish/reddish glow in a narrow window. Nice marble--a Pelt Rainbo-- Marble--On!!
  23. MFC in my humble opinion. MFC made a bunch of slags--some very bigs ones as well--I do not recall the largest size that they made--very big is all that I can say. They are one of the oldest--if not the oldest machine made ( they did hand-gatherered Machine rounded )marble company in the good ole USA. Any MFC is a good find--a true Antique. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  24. There is a line of AV--actually un-absorbed minerals from the glass recipe--in the last image. Marble makers around the world have this show up in the green colors that they make. Sparklers are easy to ID after you get your shoes on with these--just check out Stephs Study Hall and do a search. I feel your pain but it will all come together sooner than you think. Marble On !!
