  1. Wow Fire, I have not seen an image like this before that includes so many dug Peltiers. Great collection! Marble--On!!
  2. These are "Muddies" the og for sure. I just love these. Here are some of mine. Marble--On!!
  3. The purple throws me off. Lets ask @Melissa for a comment here. Marble--On!!
  4. No Fire, a slag is white with one other color on a transparent base. This one shows three--or four colors. This is a cool marble! @cheese? Marble--On!!
  5. @Fire1981 is our best for an ID of Kokomos imho. These all look like a nice bunch of Pelt Rainbos to me. Luv-em! Nice images! Marble--On!!
  6. I hope that in the future you find one that just lights you up-with memories over the years in the future. I have several of these--not too many but really good memories. My wife gifted me marbles for a birthday present about 25 years ago. These were from a show and they included "Polished Popeyes". This was the one and only show that she attended--probably because of my comment when I received them. "These are Polished"--Oops--just a reaction🤢. I did not even need a loupe—just old bloodshot eyes. I have been on a rant about Polished Machine Mades ever sincešŸ‘Ž. I just hate them because they are rarely described as such-very rarely imho. Marble--On!!
  7. It sure is and that looks like "Pocket wear" to me. This one may be a vintage make and if so--pretty rare imho. Marble--On!!
  8. This is a great hobby. Welcome to TheMarbleConnection "dramafire". Keep your marbles at 3-4 per post and give us your very best images of several sides. For a first post--not too shabby! Marble--On!!
  9. Buffed imho Alan. Marble--On!!
  10. Not Jarbo but Jabo--"Jay--Bo". Your images must be cropped and more sharpness is needed for us to make a proper ID. Marble--On!!
  11. The dark line is hiding something. I would like to see it in hand of course but here is my estimate of this one. Champion "Metallic". There are many marbles called metallics out there, but these smaller ones had a band of metal inside that almost looks like Chrome--very pretty, usually blue and white. These were production marbles but still a rare find Marble--On!!

    Swirl

    It is a swirl--by who? Well your images are not the greatest. Stay off the coffee and give us a better shot or two😁. Marble--On!!
  13. Your images are a tad blurry and there is damage involved here. Given what I see--this one is an Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
  14. Layoff this one Wolf. It is a cool marble--no doubt. It has been fixed somewhat IMHO of course. Marble--On!!
  15. @Al Oregon is the one to ask here. These are hard to determine unless you find them in a bag. The Hill-billy plastic on cardboard Bogards seem to be an easy find but are they true? The ones that I posted below are from one of those packages. Marble--On!!
  16. Great start to a Wednesday Cheese. Just a killer marble! Marble--On!! Just top notch on that last one--love it! Marble--On!!
  17. Love it Tommy. An entire ox brick is just boring, I love a bit of white to set it off. Marble--On!!
  18. Oh one more thing here, another Brick, a crazy one. Marble--On!!
  19. Weight 154? His arms had to weigh that--arf--arf--arf. Marble--On!!
  20. Once you start looking at Popeye collectables--you will be amazed at how much there is out there. You can start collecting Popeye today and never end up with the most. He is a very collectable guy. Marble--On!!
  21. Yep--even better without the white showing. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  22. These are not CAC imho bumblebee. Alley Agate is a great call. Nice marbles!! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  23. A simple rechargeable battery penlight is all that you need. A backup maybe a blacklight in the same version as the first. I always carry a lupe or magnifier with a light to back it up with. There are just too many polished marbles out there today to not be be prepared for the worst. If you are ever chastised for looking too close--move one. Marble--On!!
  24. Ohh, a challenge for sure. I know what I think. @Alan will have an opinion here for sure. I just love this stuff. Great marble! Marble--On!!
