    Vitro?

    It is not too common--believe me there. "Eh" is a thing for sure--we just do not use the "eh" thing here--"eh"may be very exciting to a new collector, why burst any bubbles? We were all in the "eh" stage of collecting at one point or another. We all try to encourage the marble collecting madness no matter what is posted or displayed. I by the way, collect them all--"eh" or top notch--I just love this stuff!!! "Common" is getting less and less a thing with "Vintage Machine Made Marbles". Get them when you can. Marble--On!!---"eh"--on as well!!!
  3. I would chose Champion here. Of course I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!
  4. I am not into sweets but maybe we should start a recipe thread. We all have our faves for sure. Maybe @Steph can set one up?? Hmmm I love to share recipes. Marble--On!!

  7. "Turkey Heads" show up in a lot of different marbles--even the newer Jabo. It is just a part of the process of marble making. I just suck at WVS ID but I would call this one a Heaton. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  8. This is still my favorite display. These are all 9/16" or under--a hard find for me at least. Marble--On!!
  9. It is a good rule imho. Contribute, gain trust, then sell. As always--- Marble--On!!

  16. These are Peltier "Big Boys" from a shabby bag that just had to be opened. Marble--On!!
  17. Well here goes, It looks like it could be oxblood to me. I worked the images as much as I could on my PC. To me at least it looks like a Champion. I apprecaite all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  18. Non factual update here. These (many) advertisements came from a glass dealer to me about 25 years ago. I purchased a few from the seller on ebay and asked for some more. He had these ads and whatever he could find, he sent me. The marbles came packed in not USA made card board with hand written model numbers. I had no reason to doubt what was purchased. I kept everything except for the sellers name and address. It is still my belief that some of these, including the weirder stuff were marketed in the good ole USA. They were more than likely marketed in old mall gift shops, sadly most of these are in landfills in my humble opinion. This is just speculation on my part. I do know that old Mall stores tossed a lot of great stuff out (they still do). If it did not move—out to the dumpster it went. I have contacted enough of the old mall managers through a daughter of mine (love her) of these shops that have remembered this name—“Atmosphere” to give it at least a bit of credit. Marble—On!!
  19. I noticed that you posted some of these--dirty-- in the gallery. This is the place to get an ID, the gallery may be overlooked by many. Welcome Dan Olsen and of course-- Marble--On!!
  20. Hmmm, More research is needed here. Backlight it and post another image or two. Marble--On!!
  21. This is my craziest way. These are from my vegetable garden. We are in a drought here where I live but I still find a few. Just like the crops—slim Pickens this year so far. Marble—On!!

  23. There are few experts in any field but I appreciate what you say and agree--of course--Thanks for stepping in and giving an opinion.

Thanks Ric, I really appreciate the input here. Nice marble indeed!! Marble--On!!
