  10. With ā€œwirepullā€ marbles you should be able to find a start and a finish to the internal swirl of glass—all in one endless stream. I hope that this helps— Marble—On!!
  11. Nice images Mojo--- The first one is a Pelt, the second one sure looks like a Pelt but I am not familiar with this color combo. The third one—is a wvs imho—it just did not swirl. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!!

  20. My wife and I collected slag glass for a while before we discovered the Hardy’s book in an antique mall. Then we discovered that Akro Agate made what we were collecting. On top of that—they made marbles too. The search was on from that point onward with limited success. Then a friend of ours stopped over with a two pound coffee can full of marbles to ask my opinion. At the time the Pelts that she had in that can were called ā€œMillersā€. It was just a great once in a lifetime find. Friends are just that, I told her if she would trust me, I would get her some bucks She was happy with the results( she may have peed her pants a bit), I sold five of them at a show for just under $5000—nothing beats a bidding war with a walk on rookie in the middle of it all (me, I kept my cool and walked around and around, table to table—nerves of steel). The rest of her marbles were sold to a buyer that was more than happy to give a few thousand more. I did keep a Sparkler and a few corkscrews for my efforts. She told us years later that she held some back—all clays—common clays. I did try to sell after that—too much hassle. Now I just keep them and enjoy them, I love to share them as well. I sleep well—that is all that counts, it is a great memory. Marble—On!!
  21. I would probably sort this one as a Vitro. Marble--On!!
