  1. Yep plastic. They have been around for some time. Alot of them came in games but a bunch also came with figures/images inside of them. I just cannot recall the name right now.. Maybe @Al Oregon can help me out here (he seems a bit sharper than I am🔪). Marble--On!!
  2. Did you have to squeeze the calipers CharlieT?😁. I do all of the time--same results. Marble--On!!
  3. Well, if you showed these to my wife.. the "bennies" would be the choice. This is what is so cool about collecting marbles. You seperated them pretty well being new to the hobby. I think that you should put them in a cool jar and pay respect to grandpa. Marble--On!!
  4. WVS X2--no maker from me. Nice stands! Marble--On!!
  5. It may be a Vacor "Samurai". Nice marble! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  6. This one is just killer. These smaller ones do show up with different colors--they just act different imho. Why do I collect Akro Agate? You just never know what you may find. Colorwise, size wise, cool factor wise, just too many Corkscrews and not enuff time😁. I will keep on looking for sure. 9/16" Akro are a rare find but it seems that in the later years, the Ox patches turned up quite frequently in this size. I have been searching 9/16" Akro for years now--just a hard find. I will keep on marbling--you folks should too. Marble--On!!
  7. Super Sunday for sure. Here is a double ingot Flintie @ 7/8". It is almost perfect and a cool find for me. Marble--On!!
  8. I had a bit of trouble paying @bumblebee . I could not enter any exact amounts. I just did two $100 payments--it is worth it for sure. Marble--On!!
  9. Thanks Steph, I will pay pronto. Marble--On!!
  10. Hmmm good question. I never look there either. I think that it means you rock👍. It is far better than my 5.4. @bumblebee may have an opinion here. Marble--On!!

    Help...

    This is a great link Alan--Thanks for sharing it. Purhaps @Steph will include it in the study hall? Marble--On!!

    Help...

    Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  13. I am pretty sure too. This one looks like a varient of a "Black Panther" to me. @Melissa knows these pretty well as does @Mojo, lets ask them for some input here. Marble--On!!
  14. Heaton oxbloods generally will show more Green than Oxblood but this could be the exeption here. Lets ask @cheese and @Ric for an opinion. Nice marble!---Nice images as well! Marble--On!!
  15. I agree with Fire on the right hand one. The left one is not a "Bennie" imho. Lets call in @bumblebee for any thoughts that he may have. Marble--On!!
  16. It may be a Master Made. The lines that you show do act like oxblood but they look like blue or black to me. If you can squeeze any red out of those lines--yes oxblood--if not--just humble pollution. Just mho-I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  17. There is nice bright white glass included here. I can see why you posted it--great mib! Sometimes these "Common Swirls deserve some more attention. Nice images! Marble--On!!
  18. This is the weakest form of Oxblood that I have ever seen but I would call it oxblood (maybe veal-blood--not quite an Ox😁) Why does "veal blood" gross me out? I used to eat Veal all the time back in the day. Good eye to catch this one my marble collecting friend. It may be an Akro, or an Alley agate. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more with this one. Marble--On!!
  19. A Cool but messed up slag! I see nothing in your most excellant images to not call it a Machine made marble. I cannot call it a CAC, an Akro, or a Master--I will just call it very cool. Marble--On!!
  20. This is quite a common WVS--some might call it a slag (me). There could be some opal involved. Nice images! Marble--On!!
  21. OK, I see it, nice stuff. The color green is the one color that will show these little flecks most often. It has to do with the glass recipe, or the mixture of minerals invloved to make the color green than any pure intention of including AV. This one is an Asian Cat eye imho. Good eye! Marble--On!!
  22. This one is machine made. A WVS of some sort or maker. A really nice marble that I could never ID. I have seen these before in hand--very cool! @cheese will be coming out with a book describing WVS very soon. He had a lot of help but this one( the book) is worth waiting for. I just hope that this one is included. Marble--On!!
  23. Do not get frustated--just keep on marbling. I have set quite a few aside for future ID myself. If marbles ID was easy "TheMarbleConnection" would not be here today. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
  24. It is about 50 years old and that is you as a kid Fire. From a fire jumper to a zamboni driver great ride Fire. Marble--On!!
