  1. Hmmm, what "format" are you using for images? What platform do you use? Microsoft,Apple,Google etc-- Smart Phone, computer, or tablet etc? We all would love to help you out here and welcome by the way to "TheMarbleConnection" my marble collecting friend. Marble--On!!
  2. Master sounds right to me! Years ago I had a big box of Master Gamers--I looked them quite hard--even backlighting them. These bring back some old rusty memories. Marble--On!!
  3. This is just a guess on my part. Late 50’s to early 60”s. They have taken off in the last 30 or so years. Now, everyone makes them. More opinions are need here and I welcome them all. Marble—On!!
  4. I do not own a smart phone--but this one is worth a bump up marbo. Marble--On!!
  5. These are simply "little beuties" to hold and look at. Marble--On!!
  6. Nice share here doutone! I have heard of these--I have never seen one before, not even an image. My pockets are not that deep-- and if I have not seen it, very few have---imho. @Al Oregon has been around awhile maybe he has seen one. @Steph? This is a book seller--just look at "sellers other items" and search "marbles". There are three other books there that I have not seen before, @Chad G. and @cheese would get a kick out of some of these. Marble--On!
  7. X3--Great images--thanks for that! Marble--On!!

    ?.?

    This one is not an easy ID Steph. I resign--lol. Marble--On!!
  9. This is a very nice Vitro imho. Nice clear glass is involved here--a joy to look at. Marble--On!!
  10. OMG--This one shows "Pocket Wear"--very cool!! What a great find! It may be one of "Those"----a rare Vitro imho. The cutlines define this one imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. A nice share regardless of the ID. Very nice--well cropped images as well. Thanks for that from all of us here @TheMarbleConnection Marble--On!!
  11. Yep--just the green thing that is unabsorbed mineral stuff that just makes it a very cool marble—not intentional—just cool to find and share with us here. This is a great group, nice images as well. Marble—On!!
  12. 40 years, I love it—well, I have been around awhile too and I have never seen one like this one. I respect Randy’s opinion for sure. If you trust him, send it to him for a proper ID. This one even includes some Akro Oxblood imho--a very cool marble even in the normal size. It would be more believable if it were measured @ 9/16”. There is always a measure of “ones that were missed” by quality control. These smaller ones never act the same as the larger ones. Generally when you find a "Sparkler" this small, it has been re-worked or polished--a bummer from my perspective. Yours has obviously not been re-worked. You keep this one apart and if you ever get to a Marble—Show—take it along for an ID. Nice marble—I will stick with Akro—a “Sparkler. This is my best---- Marble—On!!
  13. A peewee "Sparkler"? Not a real common find imho. I can tell that it is so by the way that it sit's on your "Flower Frog". I have many "Flower Frogs"--a good "sit" for any marble for sure. Great find--great share!! Marble--On!!
  14. I agree with Tommy here. Champion. Nice marble--just not a CAC. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!
  15. I agree with Akro--not an "Aqua" but a Blue slag. Be carefull with these, Vacor makes a very similar slag--"Bluejay"? Nice marble here though imho. We appreciate the well cropped images for sure. Marble--On!!
  16. I have always appreciated the faceted agates. I know that @bumblebee does too. I will never forget the images of workers lying on their stomachs in California, grinding these down and polishing them. It is amazing, the amount of hits that one of these can take and still stay intact. I love to back light this type knowing that they really destroyed a lot of the glass marbles that we all enjoy today. Here are a few images. Marble—On!!
  17. Pretty cool Melissa, The images are just "Killer". A very nice find---. Marble--On!!
  18. I agree but slide towards "Rainbo" here. Marble--On!!
  19. These are more than likely "Game Marbles" or those that were inculded in a Game that used marbles as place makers such as "Chinese Checkers". Marble--On!!
  20. You keep coming back Brittney Banker, and show us what you have. Marble--On!!
  21. I would sort it an Akro--no oxblood here imho. It may have come from under the ground, not that that matters. Nice share though. Marble--On!!
