  1. Nice images! Melissa is right on X2. Master Glass imho. Marble--On!!
  2. This is a normal "what is it to me". We here see many like it. It could be an Alley Agate---or an "Alox". Is it cool--yes it is--is it easy to ID--well not very easy. It is a wvs no doubt. Marble--On!!
  3. I like this type--I think that it is a dug WVS--probably an Alley Agate. I thought Vacor at first but they seem to have better grading than this one has. The damage on this one along with the out of roundness suggest what I think is right. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  4. Yep--at first I thought "Imperial marble". This one is finished too well. Master Made Marbles--even Master Glass Marbles always show up with a nice hard-- well finished surface. No pits or cutline’s are regular with them--they do show up from time to time but Imperials will almost always show some form of unfinished business with the finish. Nice find! Marble—On!!
  5. Thanks Al--great stuff as always. Happy New Year to you! I think that you may just love this stuff as much as I do. Many Happy Returns! Marble--On!!
  6. "Snakeskin"--very cool! I deleted your double post--no worry. I have done it plenty with Chad backing me up. Does this one look like Oxblood to you? It is a very cool marble non-the-less. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!
  7. I know UV but 395 is not in my venacular--please explain this. These marbles remind me of something that I never really got cleared up as far as I can remember. I think Vitro, many thought Akro. This type came in some "Victory" marked "jobber boxes" boxes marketed during the "Bicentennial". The colors are very close to what I found in a Vitro "Fisher Jewel Tray" involving helmets. I will show some images below. I think that the OP are Vitro marbles Marble--On!!
  8. 2025 is right around the corner--I consider this my very best find. Marble--On!!
  9. This may be one of the top five that I have seen--maybe top two!! Very nice find--- Marble--On!!
  10. Nuff said, my marble collecting friend. I fill boxes and this template is my go to when sorting, fast efficient and well ---very easy. Cutting hairs with the size--never have been a big fan of this. One after another--millions made--all the same run--size did matter but not that much. Marble--On!!
  11. Great Post Ric---and by the way--welcome back once again. Marble--On!!
  12. That is the coolest non-marble bag that I have ever seen Tommy. ohh--cool marbles too😁. Marble--On!!
  13. Keep them coming--this one is just--well---. Marble--On!!
  14. Welcome our marble friend! Show us what you have to offer. Marble--On!!
  15. If you mean Vacor--I love em--nuf said--it just takes some research. Marble--On!!
  16. @Chad G. @cheese@Al Oregon@Alan @stephenb@Ric@Gladys@Shamrock Marbles@Nantucketdink@Tommy@akronmarbles--lets fire this one up. You are all the backbone of marble collecting here--I have forgot quite a few--forgive me--I am getting old too---. Bring them in if you can, the others that I forget. Just step up and show what it was all about and still, is to this day, the top notch in your collection! Show us what you love! Happy 2025--almost---- I jus love this stuff an I know that you all do as well. Marble--On!!
  17. I agree--nuff said! Marble--On!!
  18. This one is a Vacor "Zebra" imho--just a really nice one. @Mojo has seen more of these weird ones than I ever have. I have no doubt that Vacor uses "cullet", or glass from other companies--this may explain the "glow". @Andy McLaughlin from Alaska has seen even more than @Mojo but he is probably out fishing--he wrote the books on these Vacor "weirdos". I would love him to check in during the luul in fishing/hunting/being an Alaskan—. Marble—On!!
  19. Love it all --great info as well. I used to take home the styrofoam holders from blood sampe tubes, 5/8" marbles fit perfect and tight for shipping--waayyyy back when I used to sell. Marble--On!!
  20. One more day-----show your best/favorite! I will post my best find on the 31st--yep, even better than this one! Marble--On!!
  21. First of all --very nice images--lets get to the rest of the post. Marble--On!! Great link --but?? Marble--On!! Great link "et cetera"--But???. I have always agreed with "Master" (Master Glass) on these--what is a PB?--I am old--just take another second and type it out. Our old friend Ron Shaw researched these things like a fox go's after that rabbit that could never be caught. He was the Expert here--did he ever come to a conclusion @cheese? Regardless of this –Who really made these?? Do some research like Ron did and try to find out---Maybe----? These have been researched like no other machine made marble imho. I want to see them in bags--just sayin. At this point after a bit of research--the op is either a Ravenswood or a Master Glass made marble. I just love this stuff!! Marble—On!!
