  1. Soooo, like the size of a Quarter Dollar? Marble--On!!
  2. Yep an odd one for sure. Not too long ago @Melissa Id'd one similar to this one as a Marble King. I believe it to be fact. Marble--On!!
  3. I would call it a Version of a "Conqueror" by Vitro. Pretty cool! Marble--On!!
  4. Nice Marble--one of a kind. There are folks that collect "Football" (USA Football) shaped marbles but they are fussy too. I had one that was a corkscrew and I treasured it. Marble--On!!
  5. Image #4 and #5--is that a true Carnelean? Pretty cool! I look at them, like to hold them but do not collect them. I like the cool feel of them and if I ever hold one that feels warm--I will wrap it in lead. Marble--On!!
  6. Welcome Kim, to "TheMarbleConnection", and this crazy hobby of collecting toy marbles. I look forward to seeing what you have found. Post three or four at a time with multiple angles shown. Start with the ones that you think are pretty. Multi colored marbles are going to draw more attention from the group here. Marble--On!!
  7. I cannot really make out the pontil in your image but a ground pontil would show a ruffer texture and a melted pontil would feel smooth like the surrounding glass. Hope this helps. Marble--On!!
  8. A rare version of an Akro Cork--nice marble! A keeper for sure. Marble--On!!
  9. I can see where you are coming from--it is very similar to a “Pelt Burnt Christmas Tree”. It is not imho. I would probably sort it as an Alley Agate swirl. It could be one of those Jabo “Contracts” that screw us all up though. Nice marble, nice share. Marble—On!!
  10. Check out this current link LevvyPoole. You will be one the right track here. Nice marble--yes, beat up a bit but it is very old and a beuty! A Couple of Leighton's - "Horizontal" and "Navarre" - General Marble & Glass Chat - Marble Connection Marble--On !!
  11. Thanks for showing up once again here @TheMarbleConnection @IowaMarble I look forward to your continued posts, insights and wisdom. You are a respected member of the marble collecting community and are always welcomed here. We have many new members that will take your advice and run with it, as they should. ( I always like a goofier avatar than mine) Marble--On!!
  12. X3--nice collecting here and a great ask for sure. Marble--On!!
  13. I agree, "Millers" are still Millers imho but they are a rare find in todays world. This one is just a very nice "swirly" Pelt Rainbo. Just a Killer Marble! Thanks for sharing it with us here @TheMarbleConnection. Marble--On!!
  14. You keep it coming Wayne--welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Marble--On!!
  15. Alley Agate--no question here. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  16. Kinda weird seeing opalescence here—am I right? You cannot really tell with any lighting when red is involved in the marble. This one is an Akro imho. Classic Akro cutmarks are evident. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  17. Imho, This one is an Akro--"Hero" type. It is a hard thing to differentiate between early Akro’s and early Masters—this is an early one and a “Patch type”. Akros generally have ½ coverage and Masters generally have 1/3 coverage in my experience. Regardless of all of that, this is just a great old “Patch type” that exudes “Old”. I just love to see it—thanks for sharing it. Marble—On!!
  18. Nice Rainbo X3. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    It is not a Vitro imho. Roberto see's the blue as I do--kinda weird really. I will call this one a Master--earlier version. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  20. Given the images of course---this one is a Vitro. Size is alway important in Marble ID's. The purple "blush" here is a Vitro trate that is hard to attribute to any other maker. I want them all to be Akro--this one is not one imho. I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more here. @Melissa is on top of this type and I defer to her for a proper ID. Marble--On!!
  21. This one may be a Champion. @Al Oregon and @Melissa may have some input to share here. "New Old Fashioned"??? Marble--On!!
  22. X3! Nice find and ID by all here. Marble--On!!
  23. This one is a dug wvs or at the least one that went through a house fire. It looks out of round, the white is opalescent, the pattern is a wvs type. I will suggest a Ravenswood here. Marble--On!!
  24. Cool Marble! This one has seen some play wear and it appears to have been at the very least a "Beach Marble"--a collectable on its' own. I like it for sure. Thanks for sharing it here. Marble--On!!
