  1. I have not seen many Red Latticinios--very cool!! Nice share! Marble--On!!
  2. You are right on, Clay's seem cold to the touch vs glass marbles but so do the Polymers imho. I have not weighed them one vs the other but--I would think that clays are heavier. Yours appear to have a fingermark or indentation from the hand-rolling process, the Polymer makers that I know of are much more refined than this. I will settle on clay on these two--who knows really? @akronmarbles may have an ID and I will defer to him here. Brian is a collector of the Clays from the USA--he knows way more than I do regarding these. Marble--On!!
  3. The Medical care in the USA is suffering since the Covid thing, I appreciate you all sharing your concerns here. I thought that I had it bad here in Wisconsin but things are looking upšŸ‘. Wait until you are on Medicare--the treatment--well--it is not the same as before. I actually have to ask to have my Prostate checked--Whatttt??? I want a Doctor or a PA--not a nurse practitioner--just sayin. Marble--On!!
  4. Yep--a "Jabo Classic" or one made for general sales from the Jabo company made for world wide sales. A little "bland" but in great shape. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  5. I have had one close to this and I always, after much research, went back to Vacor as the maker. It could be a Champion--size is always important with Marble ID--mine was around 7/8". Marble--On!!
  6. These are very cool, I would call them Clay for some reason. They may be Polymer though. I have never seen one of these let alone two of them. Get a proper ID and get a better value for them. I have no Idea. A very nice share! Marble--On!!
  7. No --just a very nice Akro Slag imho. Marble--On!!

    Akro?

    šŸ‘. Pretty nice marble!!! Love it!!
  15. As a Definition--"Slag’sā€ are white on a single colored transparent base glass. This is the accepted version of a "slag" for many, many years. Yours is Pretty Weird. It is not a slag imho. I see two cut-marks, one of which shows white in-between. This suggests to me that this may be a weird ā€œveneered marbleā€. My call is just a very weird Marble King or really weird Vitro Agate. Marble—On!!
  16. That first image is Mezmorizing, to me at least--I got dizzy looking at it. I am not into Contemps but I might try one of these one for size--Just because🤪. Marble--On!!
  17. Yes Wolf, They were rare 25 years ago--quite common now imho. Marble--On!!
  18. This is an old and great dusty collection here Lola--did you inherit them? I would start with the largest multi-colored marbles that you can find and post them with good well-cropped images. 3-4 images at a time with multiple images showing four shots from a different angle or side. Pick out the big ā€œPretty Onesā€ and let’s take it from there. For the most part, multi-colored marbles bring the best price and this is a good place to start with your collection. Any filled boxes or any box for that matter may be worth more than you can imagine. This is a hard thing to do—selling off a collection that you know little about. We are all here to help you out—just do not expect any prices or offers on this board. You give us a few hints and we can point you in the right direction as far as selling goes. This will be done by ā€œPersonal Messageā€ or PM as we call it. There are plenty of folks that we all trust here, that will drive down/up/left/right to you and take a look—and give an assessment. I wish you great luck, Marble—On!!
  19. A very nice Jabo classic imho. Marble--On!!
  20. Veli sounds right here--but--it could be--with the blue involved--an Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
  21. I have always loved to put old marbles in old boxes for display. This is one of my favorites. All Akro--- Marble--On!!
  22. My call is Pelt Peerless Patches--PPP---all of them. To find four would be a great find--Six is next level. Put a "Pelt Figure" on these and they would "Skyrocket" you to very many future marble purchases ( maybe even a down payment on a car--lol😁 ). Oh well--just dreaming here----they are still very nice keepers for sure. Thanks for the Image--Very Nice--- Marble--On!!
