    I love snow!

    Just some snow--cool to watch and experience a "Blizzard" though. I have seen five or six Blizzards in my life—my wife and I met during one—we got stuck—lol. Wisconsin is a very cool state to live in! Marble--On!!
  3. This is "just" a very nice Rainbo imho. It is a nice one! Marble--On!!
  4. We are not into selling or pricing marbles here @TheMarbleConnection. ID's and information is what we are here for. You can send me a PM or "Personal Message" and I will try to help you out. In the mean time, post some images of what you have. I will not bother anyone with the wit and wisdom to sell unless you show what you have. Marble--On!!
  5. I will always look at marbles over a carpet or a bath towel, I drop them all the time--yes, I am a "clod" when it comes to handling marbles. I drop them all of the time. I just found my little buddy Obi ( a Pug) chewing on one that I lost a few weeks ago--Good boy!--no damage done. Glass to glass does not matter much if it is gentle--as in a jar of them. Marble--On!!
  6. Soooo, like the size of a Quarter Dollar? Marble--On!!
  7. 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!!
  8. I would call it a Version of a "Conqueror" by Vitro. Pretty cool! Marble--On!!
  9. 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!!
  10. 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!!
  11. 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!!
  12. 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!!
  13. A rare version of an Akro Cork--nice marble! A keeper for sure. Marble--On!!
  14. 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!!
  15. 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 !!
  16. 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!!
  17. X3--nice collecting here and a great ask for sure. Marble--On!!
  18. 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!!
  19. You keep it coming Wayne--welcome to "TheMarbleConnection". Marble--On!!
  20. Alley Agate--no question here. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  21. 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!!
  22. 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!!
  23. Nice Rainbo X3. Marble--On!!
  24. akroorka

    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!!
