  1. I get it--very reserved until you light them up--luv- em! Marble--On!!
  2. Vacor made some of the best ever--Cats that is. I love a good Vacor "Alien"--here is an image of some "Aliens" with some more regular in the middle. Marble--On!!
  3. Great word! At least give two shots of each with these slags for sure. (most marbles need at least two) The cutmark along with the nine. Nice marbles!! Marble--On!!
  4. It is another day and I have a new favorite😁. The Akro Box that shows a girl on the cover. I just love this stuff---- Keep them coming all--Great marbles! Marble--On!!
  5. Just pick out your favorite marble/marble related item and post it. I will!😁--a really tuff assignment, I know--just pick your favorite today--still tuff but here goes--- I never met Nadine MacDonald in person. She was the pinnacle ofā€just being a nice personā€ that collected marbles. She shared all of her knowledge freely and never with any contempt for those who challenged her. She was a ā€œMarble Jediā€ for sure. (She did know her Pelts very well) She also made some hand painted and glazed marbles that should be cherished by all. This one is one inch and I feel blessed just to have it. Marble—On Nadine!!

    JABO?

    I am ready to call the two in the middle Jabo--"Classics". The one on the ends need more images for me at least. Nice marbles! Marble--On!!
  7. I think that you may have an "older" Vacor here--it is pretty cool. @Mojo is my go to here. I am just not getting any WVS thoughts/ideas on this one. All opinions are appreciated---nuff said. Nice images!!! Marble--On!!
  8. You are correct as far as I can tell---a "simple rainbo". Marble--On!!
  9. The "Little" one is a Pelt Rebel--look for AV in the black--I think that I see some. I see no Oxblood included. The larger one is not a Pelt imho----a Vitro--"Buttermilk" is my call here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  10. I agree with "Master Glass". Size always matters-------Maybe a "Master Made" or earlier one. Master Made Marbles just took a pounding this one was someones fave to shoot--just dreaming here, that is why I want the size. Marble--On!!
  11. Pretty cool marble. Not many bubbles involoved either--different. This one is a Peltier "Rainbo". I am not a name expert--but this one looks too dark to be a "Tomato". I have grown many tomatoes in the back yard and the "Black" varieties are my faves. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!
  12. The Nickel Guy sent me some keepers fo sure. Notice the blue/white "Apple" @ 4:00. Two CAC-- really? ---They are Very "minty" marbles as well. The rest are just killer examples--a nickles worth would have done here for sure😁. I just love this stuff! Thanks Fire---and "The Nickle Guy" for sure. Marble--On!!
  13. Well--well --well !!, You never know do you? This is a first for me. I would not call it "Lutzā€. It looks like a machine made marble to me. That is about as black as any that I can remember as being called ā€œblackā€ Let’s call in a @cheese for an opinion. Happy Holidays all. Marble—On!!
  14. Bump! This maybe selfish but--- I have some flesh involved in this one😁. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more.šŸ™ˆ. Marble--On!!
  15. Keep us posted Steph--I do Ebay but not the Facebook thing--go where the money is for sure. Just post them here-- https://marbleconnection.com/topic/38521-share-public-marble-auctions-and-sales-listings-here/ Good Luck! Marble--On!!
  16. We sure did--I love this stuff and we are only a few years apart in age--cool stuff. I did send a Nickel--but The Nickel Guy still has a problem with the number five. Thanks Fire--great stuff--great idea. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    Thank you for posting these. Try to focus about a third down from the top. If you have a "Macro" setting--use it on marbles. @Chad G. has given me a lot of tips over the years for taking images as well as--well marbles ID😁. Keep on trying and no pressure--just do your best and accept some tips now and then. @Fire1981 has been pruducing some fine images lately--it does take some practice. I still use a camera (no smart phone----yetšŸ™ˆ), and I take multiple images picking out the very best---deletion is a great thing once you get the hang of it. You do have the cropping part down pretty well. Any and all opionions here are more than welcomed. Marble--On!!
  18. Thanks for this--yes we are a varied group and I also wish the best to all in this Holiday season. Drive safe--do not take images of marbles while driving please. and keep safe. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    These images do not give a great idea but I would lean Vitro given the images. Merry Hollidays! Marble--On!!
  20. The second image--the large cutline---Maybe not an Akro but a Vitro imho. Akro was not quite perfect and there are a lot of "dug" marbles out there for sale. This unfinished cutmark points me away from Akro here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  21. Nice group Melissa! Images 4 and 6 have me wondering though. The last is just very nice---😁. Merry Hollidays to you as well!! Marble--On!!
