  1. The first one is a Pelt imho--"Red Zebra" More opinions are needed and welcomed here. The second one---is some make of WVS imho. Many more opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!
  2. Welcome Sortitallout, The size narrows it down to either an Alley agate, a Vacor or a Jabo--Akro made some big ones--just not here imho. The construction reminds me of Jabo---a weird one but imho a Jabo “Classic” . Nice find! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marb;e—On!!
  3. I have still not had the balls to restore this one. It may be better off just left alone. I am getting the urge to just leave it and be happy with it--a rare thing deserves it. Marble—On!!
  4. X2--nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  5. Join the club atombaum--been there done that! By the way--Welcome to the Marble Connection! Marbles are the ultimate in my world--hard and easy-- or easy and hard. Reasearchers we all are and will continue to be. We all share here--show us what you have! Three or four at a time. Marble--On!!
  6. I would like to see it as well--It may trump your entire collection, as nice as it is. Marble--On!!
  7. We were all glad to come across this site at one point in time or another. Welcome-- and show us what you have! Marble--On!!

    ID please

    X2 nice marble! I wish that I knew where these came from--I was sleeping then. Marble--On!!
  12. The "Fish eye effect" is only seen during backlighting. It is not the little slits that the marble shows. When you backlight a "Moonie or a "Flintie", it will show you what you are looking for-- a "Fisheye". Just roll it around under the backlight and it will show its eye--unreal--really unreal. Jus PM me for one and I will send it--these are under appreciated marbles and over ID'd imho. Marble--On!!
  13. I am just saying that this may be out of order and a way to circumvent the rules here. If I were you, and any one else that is considering this, whoever you may be—regard the rules of TheMarbleConnection and be wary of them. The rules apply to all regardless of the circumstances. This just seems like a bad way to try to go beyond our seller rules. I am not real happy to see it. This is just my humble opinion and it is designed to protect all of us, just as the rules state. Just be safe! Marble—On!!
  14. This is our mantra--all of ours here on "TheMarbleConnection". Nice images--nice marbles! Marble--On!!
  15. You know what? Vacor actually made some candies. Here is a scan from a sales brochure. Marble--On!!
  16. Nothing Chad, let me show you an image of the corner staples, very cool! The cardboard is very old as well as the staples--just no top----Nice marble bruise marks inside. One piece at a time in my world, a top may be in the future, who knows? The box measures aprox 2-5/8" X 3-5/8". As you can see the cardboard has some ruff edges. This is earlier stuff. Some folks make it yet today, mostley paper but it is too time comsuming to fake imho. Thanks for asking, I do not mind sharing a bit. Marble--On!!
  17. In hand, under normal lighting, Flinties appear to be opaque. You have to backlight them to get any real effect. Yours are not Flinties imho but they are nice looking just the same. Yellow Flinties are not nearly so bright--a duller yellow. Marble--On!!
  18. I appreciate what Chad has said. There is no one here willing to take advantage of a newer collector. Make your mark here and take advantage of the rules. This place is just a great place to be! Marble—On!!
  19. My heart goes out to all of you that are sitting alone over this great Holliday weekend. I am sharing a rare find with you all because all of you here are rare finds. You share and give with no expectations of any reward, just sharing. These marbles are as matter of fact—almost all pee wee marbles. I thought that I over bid until I opened the shipment. The box bottom is with them—no top. You are all a rare thing to find! I wish you all well. Marble—On!!
  20. Beautiful marbles!! Where were they made?? Marble--On!!
  21. Thanks Mojo--this one just seems too refined to be an Asian made to me. Marble--On and Merry Christmas to you all!!
  22. You did well my marble collecting friend. It was well worth the effort that you made. I enjoyed it as many did. Thanks and Merry Christmas. Marble--On!!
