  1. Akro X2--kinda weird but classic cutlines push it over the fence for me. Marble--On!!
  2. I am, kinda. 1/4 leg over😁. Marble--On!!
  3. It is a nice blow hole for sure Fire. I think that it may be a big old Imperial old asian made. I am not really geting any Vacor vibes here More opinions are needed for sure but Pelt is not what I would call it. Kinda cool really. Marble--On!!
  4. Alan is right on. Not a very hard find imho. I would never bid on a marble with such cloudy images. Marble--On!!
  5. The yellow is awfully bright for a CAC--is there any av in the black? You all know were I am going here. Marble--On!!
  6. The first marble needs a clearer image group, but it does remind me of a nice Vitro ā€œBiscuits and Gravyā€ type. The second one screams ā€œI was made overseas ā€œbut those nice long cut marks along with the nice smooth finish pushes me towards another type of Vitro that I cannot call here. The second one is also veneered marble that is well covered. If you broke it open it would be ā€œall whiteā€ inside, much like some of the more famous Vitro made marbles. Size always matters Kadillak. Marble—On!!
  7. In my opinion--this one is a Vitro. Lets call in @Melissa, she knows her MK marbles and Vitro as well. Nice find regardless. Marble--On!!
  8. This one is a Rainbo--size matters as far as the "Just Rainbo" thing goes. Rainbos reached an inch in diameter--not too hard to find but pretty cool in the larger sizes imho. Marble--On!!
  9. Nice images! I am looking at the "Pocket wear" here. Not a Jabo Imho. This one is a WVS with opalescent base glass. It would be hard to backlight this one to make sure due to the purple involved. If I were forced to make an ID during a Poker Game--I would call it a Heaton--but I really suck at wvs ID's and would loose the pool in most cases. More opinions are needed here for sure and I respect them all. Marble--On!!
  10. If only I knew my Germans--Great marble-Great find. Lets as @Alan and @Chad G. what they think. Marble--On!!
  11. I agree with Alan here. Something happened where a piece popped off while in the rounding process on the rollers. I have seen plenty of flat sided marbles but they generally have two flat opposing sides. This is hard to explain but it does happen. Once in awhile a marble does not want to roll to a round form. "Flat Spotted" may need to be explained in greater detail than I have to offer here. Thanks Alan! Marble--On!!
  12. They are rare for a reason, maybe Sally has none. I have never held a "Blue Galaxy". I have seen them in person but never picked one up. The dealers hold these close and I respect that knowing that I have dropped more marbles than I am willing to admit. No one at a show has ever denied me to pick it up and feel it and most encourage it. If I was a buyer of course I would--pick it up. I never hold a marble that I cannot afford. I once had a Cadillac dealer offer me a drive in a supercharged STSV, I said no because it was not in my budget, he took me for a drive then handed the keys over. I drove it like I stole it--great fun--he never flinched (the poor tires took a beating😁) Marble--On!!
  13. Nice marbles Ric! That top left one is odd for sure, at least in my experience—nice one. There is also a good example of a Jabo ā€œButt Crackā€ in a classic marble, very cool. Thanks for sharing and--- Marble—On!!
  14. I love the "Wicked Owls" and your big one is one to be desired by many--just a "Killer" example. Thanks for sharing it/them. Marble--On!!
  15. Thanks Mia and welcome to TheMarbleConnection. You shared some nice ones here--keep them coming. Share your knowledge here with no fear of any nasty responses. Abuse is not allowed here @Chad G. @bumblebee and @akroorka will respond with haste if it ever happens to anyone here on TheMarbleConnection. Welcome once again our marble collecting Friend. Marble--On!!
  16. I like it for sure LevvyPoole. I have a few younger grandkids that like to spend time with me doing this stuff, they blow me away really and I have to slow them down just to keep up. They have to be patient when working with me😁, it is hard but a lesson to be learned for sure. Not too long down the road the Great Grandkids will be joining me in this fun. I do it to keep my mind working.
  17. Well, in this case show a jar or two at a time with nice crisp images. Clean the jars for a better result. 90 is a lot of years. Research German hand-mades and look for them in the jars. Based on your blurry images--I do not feel right about the 90 years thing. I am looking at these on a 22" monitor not a phone or tablet. Dust collects in a hurry--just ask any marble collector. Good luck and of course-- Marble--On!!
  18. Nice find and nice images as well. This one shows some opalescent qualities though I could never prove it. There were a lot of glass companies that did not make marbles and many Marble companies purchased "Cullet" or not perfect glass, from these companies. I am in a brain fog right now but there was a glass company that made jars for makeup that many WVS makers purchased this opalescent glass from. I think that you have an Alley Agate here. More opinions and comments are needed here. Marble--On!!
  19. Vitro X2--nice find! I would call it an "All Red". Marble--On!!
  20. If a collector has no patience, they are just "buyers" imho. Trades are a special thing, one on one with no regards to time management. I just love a good trade and I have never had a bad one. Marble--On!!
  21. No corkscrew here. Just a nice WVS. More opinions are needed as far as the maker goes. Marble--On!!
  22. This is not a CAC. Alley would be my best guess. Sistersville is out of my realm on any ID. Lets ask @cheese for an opinion. @cheese along with others has a new book coming out soon regarding WVS. Marble--On!!
  23. It is not an Akro Sparkler--nuf said. It does look like an English (UK) made marble imho. Bloody cool damage with this one. It took a beating and kept on ticking. Marble--On!!
