  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!!
  15. @YasudaCollector? @shiroaiko? Your opinions are needed and respected here. Marble--On!!
  16. A" does appear to be a Vitro-- "B" does appear to be a Peltier. "C" does appear to be an earlier Master, the finish tells me this on this one, these Masters even feel cold to the touch, they are hard and easy to feel and find after some experience is gained--Nice one here imho. I had to "fix" all of these marbles on my Photo Editor to make any “Readable”, so the jury is still out here. In the future, try your best to give nice, clear, well lit images. Shooting three at a time rarely works out--they are all different and require their own lighting. Nice job so far--I am convinced that you can step it up a bit though. Keep coming back with any questions and of course, Marble—On!!
  17. Good stuff Bumblebee, It is a nice marble for sure and I know from experience how hard it is to get a good shot of facets on these marbles. We all know from history that the Germans had a huge influence on South America and anything from this continent is worth exploring. Marble—On!!
  18. This could be it. You will find these with flats spots from being used over the many years---pretty cool item. These "table foot marbles" also showed up quite rarely with "Fancier Germans". Generally—not a rule, these will show a slight glow under UV light. Nice share here—good job all! Marble—On!!
  19. I agree with Imperial--nice find! Marble--On!!
  20. I agree with both comments above. Akro slags run the gammit though from well covered in white or almost anemic. Yours are both nice marbles and I lean towards Akro for both. Nice marbles regardless! Marble--On!!
  21. Akro "Tricolor Patch" imho. Nice one. The Vitro and Akro of this type can be a hard ID--you did well. Marble--On!!
  22. akroorka

    Patch?

    Jinx Tommy--lol. Marble--On!!
  23. akroorka

    Patch?

    Welcome Sugagman to "TheMarbleConnection". Your single image is not enough for as proper ID. Take several crisp shots, crop them well and post again. Marble--On!!
