  1. I would call the OP a "Woody" Fire. I love -em-- Marble--On!!
  2. So do I, Yellow and white mixed in the lattice along with a pink cover--very cool! Marble--On!!
  3. Yep-- a pretty cool "Conqueror" made by The Vitro Agate Company. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  4. I agree with Chad--a weird one though. A very nice share here. Marble--On!!
  5. I looked long and hard--it may be a Pelt Rainbo. Marble--On!!
  6. You will find one--I am sure. My first Guinea purchase was a Vacor--lol. Marble--On!!
  7. I cleaned it, this was the before image Thanks, MARBLE--On!!
  8. Yes you should have Marble--On!!
  9. It is a corkscrew imho-this one is very rare imho. You can hunt corkscrews all day long--years/decades long as a matter of fact and never find them all. The Akro Corks and the Pelt Rainbos can be enough to start a collection--good luck finding them all. Marble--On!

    Pelts--all of them imho. Marble-On!!
  12. Gads--what a pretty marble, Jabo Really? Marble--On!!
  13. Well this is the way, my marble collecting friend. This is just a very rare box. I did some work on it, cleaned it up a bit, tried to match the paper (I did-very closely) and decided to leave it alone. I have had great fun trying to back fill it and I learned a lot about Akro Marbles throughout the process. It will be passed on to the next very soon, sorry to say. This is just "one of those" that has passed on between many collectors in the past and it will continue to be one of such if the buyer is willing. If you are interested—just PM me. It will be in an auction soon. Marble--On!!
  14. I looked and looked at this one--many times- It is not a Jabo imho. Either some one matched colors with a Pelt--or it is a Pelt. Marble--On!!
  15. I would heavily lean toward CAC here.(It could be a Pelt). It would be a rare thing to find an Akro slag (or MFC) with two definate cutlines. I think that you have a rare one here--nice find! Marble--On!!
  16. Lets talk about the one in the first image, the far left big one. I do not recognize this one as a Jabo—or an Alley imho but I lean towards Alley Agate. This one is just special imho—is there Oxblood involved? Lets ask @Nantucketdink . A nice share for sure ! Great marble!! Marble—On!!
  17. You keep coming back with your info, I just love this stuff--just love it! Marble-- On !!
  18. I am glad to hear it, Nice marble!! Nice share as well. Show some more please. Marble-On!!

    Peltier?

    Nice set, these are a variation of Rainbos. Luve -em! Marble--On!!
  20. Horse hair is just a bonus imho never intentionally added. Marble--On!!
  21. Go to your inbox--click on the envelope---below is a ---"go to Inbox" link, click on it and then and click on the little empty box to the lower left of the messages. Once you do this you will be offered the chance to delete. Marble--On!!
  22. "Oldie" does not mean rust spots found in the bottom of an old coffee can--or other can. This one is an older WVS--no name from me. I purchased my first marbles from an old homestead covered in Chicken detrius with rust involved thinking that they may have been CAC about 40 years ago. They turned out to be Vacor. Yep, Vacors started my search and passion for collecting marbles--I have researched them ever since., buying books and listening to the old farts here on the web. You keep on keeping on--never look back, just forward---I am an old fart now and always wiling to share some wisdom. Marble--On!!
