  1. Vitro six finger cat imho. A nice looking marble--but these are way more common than an eight finger. Save your money with this one for a nice corkscrewšŸ˜. Marble--On!!
  2. Top notch images Ric--nice job. Marble--On!!
  3. I will call Champion on the left one. The rest need more opinions for sure. Marble--On!!
  4. These patches are tuff to ID. The lower right is a Master. Marble--On!!
  5. I have seen "Clearies" with metallic stripes before--they are a vey cool find and it shows that you are really looking at these marbles that you post. Just based on the color----Vitro imho. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
  6. "Roosters" can be tuff---I agree. Fire got the B@W one imho. Nice marbles!! Marble--On!!
  7. I do not think so. This is not a Jabo imho--just a late model WVS of some type. More opinions are always needed when I try to ID a WVS. Marble--On!!
  8. This one looks like a "Beach Marble". I can agree with Akro though. Marble--On!!
  9. Me too. I will not pretend to have bucket-fulls of dug Akro marbles. The ones that I have seen show little evidence of ā€œspace junkā€. That will rule out Master as well imho. This may be an early Vitroā€”just mho. Nice looking marble! Marbleā€”On!!
  10. X2--the best cat eyes book in the world. It is just under three years old. You will not be disappointed. Pay up for this one. Marbleā€”On!!
  11. This is not a Jabo imho--wvs. More opinions are needed. Marble--On!!

    Thease are MK imho--not game marbles imho. Marble--On!!
  13. The top left is a very nice nice hand-gathered marble--a keeper for sure. It may be from any maker but the condition is great. The top right is more than likely a MFC. The bottom left, although a very nice looker is a Jabo or even a Champion imho. This one needs some more input. The bottom rightā€”wellā€”it is a beat up Amber slagā€”hard to tell. All opinions are always welcomed and appreciated. Marbleā€”On!!
  14. I laid off and I know Akro---just sayin. Marble--On!!
  15. I think so. Marble--on!!
  16. That is my guess--not enough images. It may be a contemporary. Marble--on!!
  17. X2--A nice one but still, it is what it is. Asian for sure. Marble--on!!
  18. Ya--I saw this one too-----I believe that it is an Akro. I worked it over pretty well. Marble--on!!
  19. The board was obviously down and out earlier today. We have been invaded lately by a variety of spam dealers and bad inter-web folks. My thanks go out to the ones that worked hard to get us back on track to enjoy this site. Hats off to @bumblebee, @Chad G. and @Steph for all of the work that they do to keep this place from becoming a mess. If I missed anyone--just let me know--hats off to you as well! Marbleā€”On!!
  20. This is a Chinese made marble inho---A very nice one for sure--They are not all this nice. I hope that I did not burst your bubble. Balloons On!!!
  21. The term "Fire Opals" is up for discussion. There are a few boxes of ā€œFire Opalsā€ out there on the interweb that show what I believe are "Flintiesā€ from earlier sales pitches. ā€œFlintiesā€ and ā€œFire Opalsā€ both came in a variety of colors. All of these marbles should try at least to show some opalescence. The greens are hard to find opal inā€”you really have to have an imagination with them. I still think that white ā€œFlintiesā€ are ā€œMooniesā€ that are renamed. Yours is a red ā€œFlintieā€ at the very least as long as it shows some ā€˜Opalā€. Akro game marbles and ā€œSolidsā€ will also show the little slits that are commonly associated with ā€œ Flinitesā€ or ā€œFire Opalsā€. These red ones will light up with opal when back lit. Marbleā€”On!!
  22. My Mini Cooper actually told me to drive it more last week. The Battery was getting drawn down and it needed a better charge. Too much stress on the battery if you do not drive everyday with all of the add ons that I never use--the cold weather does not help either. I listened to it--I love driving that car, WV would be a fun place to drive it for sure. Hills, valleys and curves--it would make me and my car quite happy. Speed will kill me before any marbles lost willšŸ˜. G-Force--On!!
