Lol--do you mean shaving--I just hate it. Lets all just get hairy--I am in for it. Marble--On!! -
I wonder too but I would lean towards a WVS of some make or model. I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Tonight, I am making a recipe from “All Recipes”. “Chef Johns Creamy Mushroom Pasta”. A first time for me but Chef John is always on point with his recipes and most are quite simple. I could eat mushrooms for breakfast—love -em. In the Midwest , in a smaller town you have to adjust and I will for sure. I have dried shitake—I will make them work. Eat –On!!

I can eat these all day Chad. My oldest son raises a few chickens for eggs. His daughter( my grandaughter) was overnight last Friday and she just loves my pancakes from scratch--one egg was a double yolker. ( I am not a pancake guy--but I guess that I can make them well). I just purchased a new "Hex Clad" 12"pan and I woud have never imagined it cooking pancakes in it for the first time--it turned out to be a good test. They do get hot and they do not stick--turn the temp down for sure. I use the basic pancake recipe from "The Joy Of Cooking" recipe book. Killer book for sure. My Daugher -in Law took the remainder home and she said that she eats them cold. I just love this stuff! ( not pancakes though)

Sneak peak at my new display room.

Nice display for sure. The glass ten cent marbles box has me wondering? Pretty cool imho. The “Sailor Boys” I am not familiar with. Nice stuff—great work! Marble—On!! -
They are of course marbles with a hole through them. I do not know the process here--how the holes were made. I can see "Lady Gaga" wearing these for sure. Nice stuff! Marble--On!!

Thanks et cetera, I have not heard of "Teal" Akro slags before this post from you. I have never seen one before--good eye--great name. Marble--On!!

La Crosse, Wisconsin is a great place to visit. Melissa is closer I think than I am, but I have visited there for one thing and one thing only –Antiques. These cities along the Mississippi river are a gold mine for cool old stuff from all over the world. -
This one is a wvs. I have not seen a Jabo like it--just sayin. I cannot name it. I respect all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble!
-
Ummmm--MK is not what I would call it. This one needs some natural sunlight. Any Marble that shows pink is rare--well, before the Jabo Contracts at least. This is Pre-Jabo imho. Nice marble--more images are needed. Marble--On!!

Just to be aware--this freezing method is only good for sauces. I run them under warm water, get the skins off along with the stem end and cook them down. Rubber gloves saves you from getting any freezer burn on your fingers. A food mill removes the pulp and seeds very niclely.( go ahead and put this disregarded stuff in your mulch and begin picking tomato weeds all year long) I would give you my recipe but it is quite personalized regarding sizes and measurements according to what I have used in the past. Eat food on!!
-
One of mine too. Taco's--sounds great--I love a good fish taco but it just grosses my wife out for whatever reason so I wait until she is on a "Vacation" then I eat them up. I cook on the weekends and tommorrow I will be making Freezer Spaghetti sauce and probably be ordering Pizza for supper. I use tomatoes from the garden. I just freeze them after I clean them and cook them down into a sauce that is just killer. These whole frozen tomatoes are very easy to peel under hot/warm water--the skin just falls off. Sunday will be a mushroom pasta---yum. Eat on!!

I would sort it as an MK. A later version imho. I am not an expert with names or MK marbles but @Melissa is for sure. Marble King marbles will show up plenty with blow holes. I do not know if Pelt is first or second regarding blowouts, CAC would be a close third imho. Nice find and a good ask. Marble--On!!
-
Chad has the grit ot take on any ID. Our old friend Ron knew that @70% with marble ID's you were doing pretty well. Chad is right there for sure. Marble--On!!
-
A very cool find my marble collecting friend.. I wish that I had one--- Marble--On!!
-
I would sort this one as an Akro Patch. The "Tri-Colored" patches would often show up with two colors instead of three--always on a white base that is deep and far from being "Veneered". Akro did make some pretty boring marbles that have been passed up by the masses that expect a return in dollars. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice find! Marble—On!!
-
Been there done that😁. Nice marble! It is a wvs imho with some nice depth in the non-white. I wonder if it is a Ravenswood? More opinions are needed and I respect them all. Lets call in @cheese for an opinion here. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with all that has been said so far. The first one seems a bit washed out and may need some sunlight to get to a final evaluation. Marble--On!!
-
I would sort this one as a vitro. I think that is falls a bit short of any named marbles. @Ric is my go to with weird Vitros. Nice marble--quite a cool Vitro imho--nice big one too. Marble--On!!

The digs from Akro produced many of this type--hard to ID but fractures were included. It would be way too easy to call this one a Pelt because of the bubbles included and I reward any one not thinking this way. We older folks have had much more access to true dug marbles from Akro--one of the very first sites dug. I would call this one an Akro with no problem. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Killer images--backlight it and be rewarded. Akro X3. Marble--On!!
-
Tomato in my world--lol. These smaller marbles, when you press them with light, will get your mind swirlling. This one may be what you think or what I think--a good version of researching marbles right down to the bone--good job! A game marble. marble--On!!
-
Jabo imho--a "Jabo Classic". I had to look back at the size--these kinds of swirls and coverage are more likley to be found in a much larger Jabo. I may be wrong so I invite @Nantucketdink to throw an opinion in here. Marble--On!!
