    OK--great info boris--I will double up on my assessment and wait for further opinions as well. Marble—On!!
  2. Nice find B-rett66. I have seen similar marbles encased in a cast iron claw that was a leg for a table. Usually these are transparent with no design inside like yours. I have seen pictures of sulphide marbles used in the same manner. It is hard to believe that someone got these out of a cast iron claw foot without damaging them. Check the marbles for any wear that may invole them being encased in a cast iron claw. These may have been used for something else that I am not aware of. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  3. I believe that you are talking about the green,white and dark red one boris. Imho you have it in the right spot. Of course more opinions are needed here. Size may help. Marble--On!!

    Nice marble boris64! It appears to have two melted pontils and the size I would guess at around an inch. Navarre, Leighton, Grenier ?? More opinions are needed on this rare example. I responded before I read your first post regarding this marble. I do not think it is "Bulgarian" for what it's worth. Marble--On!!
  5. Good afternoon to you as well and welcome. Thanks for sharing your find. It is a rare and very cool thing to have if you are a marble collector or a Cracker Jack collector. Like I said--very cool. Marble--On!!
  6. I lke em all if they have lots of touch marks--even better. Marble--On!!
  7. I Agree Steph, Marble--On!!
  8. Ohh--this one is a clear based Pelt imho. Nice marble regardless of the ID. I appreciate all opinions and look to see some more. Marble--On!!
  9. I also have some from my Grandpa--via my mother. Welcome here my marble ID looking friend "brently". I agree with Steph--more images are needed. I know that is a hard ID--but here goes. You have two possible Akro Agate "corkscrews" and an Akro "Filintie as well. None of them would be considered as high value imho. Maybe $20 all together—not worth the sell. These are very nice to have and a great thing to keep from Grandpa, I am sure that he loved and revered them. Marble--On!!
  10. When these "Butter Milks" get bigger in size they seem to swirl out of order. The one in the images is over 3/4"--closer to 7/8" as I recall. Just a heads up for you. Marble--On!!
  11. I agree with all of the above. The yellow in these is as intense as opaque yellow gets in marbles as far as I am concerned. Just an observation. Marble--On!!

    Akro?

    I agree Melissa. This is the thing with Akro vs Master Patches like this. I would lean Master on the left one. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

  16. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364542981313 Nice work--maybe too nice! Marble--On!!
  17. This is always hard to argue with--Master patches vs Akro patches. If cheese says Master----hard to argue—Nice images cheese!! I will stick with Akro though--just my humble opinion and I appreciate them all. Marble—On!!
  18. These always fool me--good call Cheese!!! Marble--On!!
  19. Happy Halloween for sure—here are a few “Flinties”. Marble—On!!
  20. If you take out the color and look at the white and blue it is no doubt a Master. I agree with Master--a weird one though. Marble--On!!
