  1. I like this marble too and I agree with handmade. It is probably purple--back light it to find out. Just use a little high powered flashlight. Polish these marbles up a bit before you shoot them. Just some window cleaner and a micro fiber towel will make them shine the best. Do not get me wrong, I have plenty of dusty marbles but if I am proud enough to post them, I will do my best to represent them. Marble--On!!
  2. We do not see one like this everyday. Clean it up and take a few more images. Backlight it for sure. Marble--On!!
  3. I think that a sharper, brighter, well cropped image may recieve better results for you here. Take your time and do a better job with the images. Marble--On!!
  4. I cannot--it just takes some experience my marble collecting friend. Colors, patterns, sizes, shades all add up to a positive ID. The Pelt that you show with a bulge is one in a life time for me. I just love it! It just made my year of looking at marbles. Please post some more images of it. It may not be too valuable but it is very cool imho. Keep coming back, check out Stephs Study Hall and of course keep posting these great images. Marble--On!!
  5. Of course, I appreciate your opinion Chad. I am in the same boat just a different paddle. I work in fresh water--lol You salties wiil alway taste marbles a bit different😁. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!
  6. I just love this stuff, I really do. The old grey heads get together and disagreement is a way to determine that Marble ID is not an easy thing to do. Study, my marble collecting friends, and keep coming back to "TheMarbleConnection". We all do our best here. Marble--On!!
  7. My eye goes straight to the one with the bulge ( a bulge--really?)---all are killer marbles--that one just blows me away--What a great find! Oops--these are Pelts imho--some great ones. The "Bulge" got me rocking on and I have never seen one like this before---love it! A bulge may me a new term--I have not seen one like this before I just love it. It is like a blowout that just did not happen! I want some more images for sure--Thanks. @Fire1981 and @Chad G.. May have a different opinion here and I appreciate that for sure. This one gets my rocks rolling--what a great find!! Marble--On!!
  8. I have to add--great images here!!! Thanks for that! Marble--On!!
  9. Good stuff all around! Marble--On!
  10. It just takes an eye for it when red or white is involved. You have to shine a bright white light to see some glow of an orange/red color shine through the white. When red or orange is included in the marble--it is very hard to find to the uniformed eye…… You will get it—sooner or later-I am sure of it. Marble—On!!
  11. This one is not an Akro. A WVS---more than likely an Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
  12. It is a wvs and Ravenswood is a good call here. Marble--On!!!
  13. I agree as well. This one could be a Vacor--just sayin! Marble-On!!
  14. WVS is my best here. Marble--On!!
  15. You have a great group of Alley Agate Marbles here. Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" "msecrets". I am far from an expert with WVS names which you have here but I know them when I see them. @cheese or @Chad G. may step in here with a better description. You have some nice ones--thanks for sharing them. I see a few Blue Ladys, Some Blues Sky’s and a few Opal Lady’s These are not really common to find and well worth the post. Keep them coming! Marble--On!!
  16. It is a Canadian Rainbo for sure. Knock out the Canadian and it is a Rainbo imho--the Canadian was just a respect thing😁. Marble--On!!
  17. An orange slag made by any maker is a true RARE marble. I always thought that they were a crossover during production between a red and an amber marble. I could never prove this—just my thoughts. You have a great one here! Nice share! Marble—On!!
  18. I love this color combo too. These often show up with Oxblood included--I do not know why but they are just a step up from yours. Marble--On!!
  19. Nice bo! Marble--On!
  20. Vacor but what a weird one--a keeper for sure. @Melissa may have a name for it but it sure escapes me. Marble--On!!
  21. It looks like one of my Masters to me--dusty and very old. I love it! Marble--On!!
  22. Nothing is sad here. A nice Akro Slag imho. Marble--On!!
  23. This one shows the white as opalescent—I always love this type of white and my eye is always drawn to it. Jabo has it and many behind them for years had it as well. I cannot call it anything other than nice images and a pretty cool marble. Nice share! Marble—On!!
  24. I agree with the above statements. This one does not line up color wise with any company so I am judging the cut marks. Akro imho--Marble--On!!
