  1. My research has been extensive as to the maker of the boxes---many differernt types of boxes. Back then there were many box makers--you have to know when to fold them sometimes--I threw in. Marble--On!!
  2. This one was deceiving—not because of the seller, because if the images. The seller was selling marbles that he/she did not know about—he/she did some research and sold them as they may have been described to her/him. I blame the buyer here—not the seller. Nuff said!! Marble—On!!
  3. Whatt?? A Cat's Eye in WV Wednesday?? Yep--Master Glass--a nice one-- Marble--On!!
  4. Welcome Angie. I agree with both of the folks above. I worked it over on my photo image software and it does appear to be an older West Viginia Swirl-WVS. No maker from me however. ( maybe a Ravenswood?) Marble--On!!

  6. I just love backlighting Agates. The first two are 7/8’”. The third one is 3/4". Sometimes you can see the hit-marks in hand—sometimes not. Backlighting them will reveal their true nature and history. Have you ever wondered about the damage that you do not like on your favorite glass marbles, well these could have been the culprit. Glass killers these were. The last one is very tactile. I cannot member feeling the facets on an Agate like this before---very cool to feel them( for an old dude with crusty fingers especially ). This one had no hit-marks—odd really—to me at least. I wish that I could get an image of the facets on this one—it is just full of them. It appears to have some sort of inclusion in it--I am calling it a dinosaur bird finger bone. Enjoy and---Backlight them All!!!! Marble—On!!
  7. I just love it--almost a "Muddy"--a killer marble with pink involved. Marble--On!!
  8. Pretty cool schmoozer! Here are a couple of the Solar System from Vacor. Marble--On!!
  9. This is backlit Chad--from my old lightbox--there is some white light leakage. A new revelation though--some green showed up. It is not pollution. "Motor Oil" --Really??? This is why I ask for the experts. A new marble for me and a new name as well--bonus! Thanks all!!! Marble--On!!
  10. Here I go again--the first to post on MK Monday--my least favorite marble---lets get it on here--wass upp??? Marble--On!!
  11. The size here is the thing---- My vote is Champion. I appreciate all opinions and respect them alll. Marble--On!!
  12. It really is a very nice one! Marble--On!!
  13. Jabo is the best that I have here---Nice one though. Marble--On!!
  14. This one is just under 5/8”. I purchased it thinking “what a fool”—it is a Vacor—Not!!—My spider senses were working that day—LOL. You never know until you get it in hand do you? The white is Opal—I will never be able to prove it though—just my gut feeling and experience. The brown is actually transparent. If you back light this one it appears more of a red than a brown—I tried—could not get a good shot. This is my best—what do you all think?? I just love this stuff---a new one to me at least. Marble—On!!
  15. Oopps I forgot Jabo--this may be one😁. Marble--On!!
  16. Great find and ID on your part--Love it!! Marble--On!!
  17. One inch?--It is not a Vacor, not an Akro, not an Alley--not a Master made----- I agree--Vitro. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more with this one. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  18. Veiligglas imho---a nice one! All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. That is a great marble!! Marble--On!!
  19. Vacor "Enchanted Forest"/"Darick the Wizard".(Same thing) Marble--On!!
  20. This one is a Popeye. I had to edit the second image somewhat. No doubt on my part. I see no Hybrid evidence however. Marble--On!!
