  1. This one was meant for you Fire--Love it! Marble--On!!
  2. Nice find Mojo Yes--you can frost your own marbles no doubt---"Frosted Hurricanes” are a rare thing in the good ole USA –these are from across the Atlantic and I know—it could be done—not by this person—he knows his knows. Marble—On!!
  3. I have made two canes out of "Diamond Willow"--no marbles attached. The first was for my mother in law--RIP. My Father in law still uses it when no one is looking. The second one--well it is for me--not yet finished--lol.( I may include a marble now) What a great trip to the out back looking for the right stick, then drying it and doing what had to be done--a great tribute to those that you love. Cane--On!!
  4. Welcome herb watson, Never be afraid to show what you have in an image or two---all of us here were "starters" at one point or another. I would venture to say that most of us here have been "lurkers" at one point or another--willing to look but afraid to ask. I was for sure---it all pays off--no judgement here--just marbles--we all love-em. Marble--On!!
  5. -----almost a jinx Chad----I was ready to hit enter when your notification was shown--so here goes--LOL. Welcome here to The Marble Connection Paulie, If you are not treated with kindness here just let me/us know---we all will fix it quickly. If this 2-1/4" orb has no flat spots to anchor it from rolling--I would consider it a Marble, many times orbs come with stands or flattened spots to keep them from rolling on the floor—I think that this one is meant to stand alone as a nice round object. Many contemporary marble makers make this size. I do not know when a marble or orb becomes an orb vs a marble but yours fits into the marble categories imho. Thanks for checking in and asking, I think that your Bro will appreciate it regardless. If you can decipher the signature--we here may suggest a maker. Marble—On!!
  6. Ohh nooooo----- the white topic!! There are White Pelt Bannanas, White Akro snakes, red White and blue Popeyes, White gamer marbles of all sorts--on and on and on---- White is the most described color of any as far as it comes to collecting marbles. (Is clear a color--LOL) I just love this stuff! Lets cook this one up a bit!! I appreciate all opinions and look forward to them all. Marble--On!!
  7. Always keep in mind that Pelt Bananas’ have a colorless crystal clear base glass, some of the clearest ever made. Marble—On!!
  8. Nice one Fire--the yellow ox patches are a hard find for me. Marble--On!!
  9. There were pink based Jabo--special runs that this one reminds me of--this one is new to me-- More opinions are needed and welcomed. @Nantucketdink may know-- Marble--On!!
  10. One question-WTF is it?? LOL Marble--On!!
  11. Absolutely--if you like it collect it--just hold it in check! Marble--On!!
  12. My opinion as well--lets see what the others think. @Chad G. or many others may have the best opinion here. I appreciate them all and look forward to them. Marble--On!!
  13. It looked bigger to me-- Nice marble! I like it! Marble--On!!
  14. Your words---but --YEP!! Marble--On!!
  15. This one looks like a more solid white MCS to me--size matters of course✖️--- Just my humble opinion--they all count--just chime in. Marble--on!!
  16. Not imho--I might even bid it up a bit. Marble--On!!
  17. I am far from a "Berry Pink" expert--that clear--crystal clear--glass is what turns me on--very nice! Great images!! Marble--On!!
  18. I do not know this seller nor do I advocate any buying from this post--just an observation. If you surf E-bay for marbles I am sure that you have seen this seller that makes replica boxes. This seller is straight up on what the boxes are—my only ask would be to mark them as “replica” or “fantasy boxes”—who knows 30 years from now?? This one caught my eye. I restore old boxes and appreciate what it takes to make/restore one. This person makes an excellent well made and thought out box—it will only get better as she/he goes along. I just love a great way to display my marbles—this is just one of them. They come empty—I found some Akro Patches that fit the box very well. If you get one just mark them like I do as “A Fantasy Box” on the bottom. I for one will not look to rip off my future Sisters and Brothers that will collect marbles in the future as crazy as I/We do. I am sure that if this seller reads this-she/he will connect and add what needs to be added—they (at least the box that I received) are that good imho. This seller is just someone keeping out of trouble and keeping the hands and mind busy IMHO—--good job! I appreciate all opinions and look to see some more----- Marble—On!!
  19. I would pay more--for sure--I have never seen one. I like the rare stuff though. Marble--On!!
  20. Too "Shabby" for a Vacor imho. Marble--On!!
  21. The tabs are the rectangular ashtrays--with two little butt keepers on the top--the "tabs". They do come long and short tabs--little matter when they look this nice imho. These ashtrays actually show up with some nice glitter--sometimes. Marble--On!!
  22. Not too shabby Carowill--those two tabs are tops--very hard to find in my area. Nice shot!! Marble--On!!
  23. Image #3 convinced me that it is a Pelt--that fold is not very common in MK's. I have seen these with some oxblood involved--stiil a nice find and a very nice marble. Marble--On!!
