Nice image! About 35 years ago I was in the kitchen with my youngest son teaching him bird calls. We lived at the time in an ancient Virgin woods. I was doing a a Cardinal call when all of a sudden, just outside the window, a Barred Owl Let loose--Big time--shivers up the spine for both of us, what a memory! Ohh--hooh-hoo--Ohh hoo-hoo--Hoooooo!!! ( with a trill of sorts) Owls On for sure!

All that I can say is Poor chicken--ouch. I made some scratch pancakes for my Grandaughter last weekend--two eggs were called for--one was a double yolker--I am not a pancake fan but these tasted pretty good--too much yolk for her--who knew? My Daughter -in law said she would take them home and eat them cold🤢. As a kid, I might have seen a triple yolker once--from a turkey duck--that is one big egg. I am sure that my Pa loved it along with his burnt Bacon--yuckkk🤢. Light the candles!!! Pancakes----Waffles---I still do not get it---Nan Bread is much better and easier to boot. Ummm--- Nan Bread and Chicken--no syrup--yuuk.

Oh! I would love to see one. I collect old cardboard boxes but I have a few wooden ones as well. Show us what you are thinking of VA. Marble--On!!

It sure does! I am thinking Akro here. Nice marble!

Nice group of the smallies! Image seven may be a Vitro---colors only make me think this. #9 is probably a Master Made due to the cutlines and colors. The rest are Akro imho—just based on experience here and hard to explain. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. These little guys all act different from their bigger cousins—yep the 5/8”. Not always an easy ID these peewees. Marble—On!!

Welcome NewGuy287 to TheMarbleConnection. Chad is right on--the middle images show a mixture of USA and Asian swirls. You may even have a Ravenswood in the mix--pretty cool. Break them up into groups of three or four and send some more images for ID. 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)

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!!
