  1. You may find this same box with other makers included. It is a "Jobber Box", or one company that purchased marbles from a variety of makers and sold them out right as their own brand. From who--I do not know. They usually show up with "Akro Milky Oxbloods". Marble—On!!
  2. Yes Welcome! Show us some more! Marble--On!!
  3. Too tuff to call. It may be a pelt. Marble--On!!
  4. That is a nice set of images and a great marble!! Marble--On!!
  5. The first one is a big "Bloodie". The "Mary" thing I do not get. The last image is just a great bunch. Marble--On!!
  6. The blue and yellow were errors--a whole bunch of them--someone was sleeping at the post. The rest were just--not caught or sorted imho. Marble--On!!
  7. Ric is right on as far as the collectors name goes. The "Popeye" boxes also came loaded with some top shelf Oxbloods. There are a variety of "Popeye" boxes. The more common and the less common. As far as the "Popeye" Patches go--Alan is right on as well. The colors shown in the OP are the ones that are more common and were "dug in vast quantities". @ $1 a piece--I do not agree--maybe $10. A big box full spread thorough the collecting community does not mean “common". The others colors do show up as patches—way more rare though. Red and yellow would be my second guess as far as more “common” goes. I have never seen a purple “Popeye patch”. Marble—On!!
  8. I am with Ric--no Vitro here! Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  9. Nice box!! This box was the very first box that I have ever purchased. Many moons ago. My wife though that I was nuts paying up at $100--I was am still am--. Marble--On!!
  10. So--- these were mixed nets? Marble--On!!
  11. Wow, those are killer patches. Do they have a name? Off to Hobby Lobby I go! Marble--On!!
  12. I placed a bid--just for you Fire--LOL. Marble--On!!
  13. CAC has "diaper folds"--no one else! Marble--On!!
  14. This one is obviously not polished. The one end does resemble one that has been polished though. Keep your eyes open and look at all of them to get a better idea of what is and what is not. Study them all!! Marble—On!!
  15. I agree. I search boxes and games everyday, I have not seen these----that I recall anyhow. Marble--On!!

    Kokomo

    Well, since the popcorn is almost gone here-- Pelt--enuf said. Marble--On!!
  17. I would call the second one an Akro "Tri Colored Patch". Marble—On!!

    No idea

    Backlight this one and be rewarded. I just love back-lighting old "Agates" with hit marks. Backlight them all!!! Marble--On!!
  19. The one on the right is a Vacor “Wicked Owl” imho—nice one!! The left one is Vacor—maybe a very nice “Polar Bear”. Nice marbles non-the less!! Marble—On!!
  20. No Uuugh from me--pretty cool imho. This one could be from many makers--MK included imho. Marble--On!!
  21. It is machine made, more than likely a "Popeye Patch". There are always two cutoffs in a machine made marble. This one just folded to make it look like one cutoff. Nice find--good research-- Marble--On!!
  22. These are corner boxes for a game. Chinese checkers more than likely imho. 60 marbles adds up here. I would have to have them in hand to determine the maker. The marbles came packed in these boxes as part of the game. There may have been two more boxes included with the game, one in each corner The game--name wise or manufacturer itself--I cannot determine. I feel pretty confident here with this one. I would "buy them now" @ $25—that is about it for me. I may find a home for them in the future—or not. Marble—On!!
  23. Not too shabby for a patch. This one is ¾” ---a hard find for me. Marble—On!!
  24. I researched the title--show us one so we know what you are talking about.----???? Not a big name guy here--- Marble--On!!
  25. Size? I agree x 3. Marble--On!!
