  1. If you have never seen Elizabeth A. Kempski’s book, “ The World of Cat’s Eye Marbles”, this may be the time to check it out. She displays a bunch of different marbles with a variety of names and spellings. I know that she has posted here but it has been some time—maybe @Steph can pick her out for us. I do not think that there is a right or wrong way—just many ways. I always thought that Master Glass had the best—“Cat’s Eye” for a name in a header. Marble—On!!
  2. I agree with double ingot--Flintie? Backlight it. These blue ones will show some opalecence in my experience. Flinties of this type will usually look like an opaque marble until you backlight them. Backlight them all!!😁. Flinties often show up in boxes of game marbles. If it is just opaque--not a Flintie. Marble--On!!
  3. This is a WVS imho--nice big bubble--is there any AV? Pretty common in my experience--no maker from me. Marble--On!!
  4. Image six shows a classic “straight on shot” that busted out around the perimeter—maybe an almost bust out. This would not happen in a Jabo imho. It may have met up with a Stone Agate at some point (just musing). I agree with William— It would be a very big Master—even cooler imho. Marble—On!!
  5. It is a Jabo--from the production runs--not the "Contracts" imho. I appreciate all opinions--- Some of these big Jabo are just killer marbles if you can find them without all of the hit marks that we are experienced with finding. This is a nice marble regardless of the maker--Love it! Marble--On!!
  6. Alley Agate imho. Nice find!! All opinions are appreciated and welcomed--- Marble--On!!
  7. Nice Master imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  8. Akro to me as well--pretty cool! Marble--On!!
  9. Cool eylashes--just sayin-- Imperial imho. Marble--On!!
  10. Whatever is round right Fire? Pretty cool-- Marble--On!!
  11. I would sort this one as a Jabo. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  12. Pretty wierd--it may be a "fish tank" Marble. Marble--On!!
  13. I will just throw Heaton out there and see if it sticks. Marble--On!!
  14. None Ric--pretty cool that you have a few. Have there ever been any Master Digs? Marble--On!!
  15. Great stuff as always Al. Marble--On!!
  16. I cannot really tell what you have there. The "crows" that I have seen are all around 3/4". Unless you are a giant😁--those look more like 5/8". Marble--On!!
  17. Good stuff Ric---or bad. We would not have Cats if not for this idea. Nice history for sure. I would have never put the two together--"Uncle Jack" who would have guessed?? Great stuff!! Marble--On!!
  18. The true "Crows" are a rare find. They were all dug. Marble--On!!
  19. Well, here is one for @Al Oregon. I could not pass on these bags. Two lots were sold and I could not hold back on the second posting with the marble in the header—"Made in Japan". This stuff just gets you sometimes and I was dreaming of passing on the first lot—then a second showed up—oh well, as you all know. “If you have never seen it before—buy it”. Notice the “square” staples here. There are a bunch of fake bags out there--but who would go through the trouble to make these is what I dreamed about. Trust your instincts and your dreams as well. These are the very coolest Cat’s-Eye Bags that I have ever seen. Marble—On!!
  20. Good eye Ric--it seems to be a bit out of sorts to me as well. Marble--On!!
  21. I see a few flecks of AV on my monitor--- 6"--the image--I measured👍. This one wanted to be a smaller version of the "Parrot"--just a color or two short. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  22. Heaton sounds right on--lets ask @cheese for an opinion. He--with help, has a book coming out regarding swirls--and I for one cannot wait to see it. (Cheap regards here Cheese👍) Marble--On!!
