Good eye all, my first thought was Bulgarian. Marble--On!!

NLR did come this big. Well at least 7/8". I agree with torch made on this one. There were/are some rascals that did/do a very good job at trying to copy the very best Pelts. Marble--On!!

Vitro x3--nice one! Marble--On!!

X3 these are often mistaken for Pelts--by me at least😁. Marble--On!!

I am not kidding when I say I collect them all and that there are no bad marbles—or boxes. Mice like Akro Agates also—I am sure that the marbles made it----or maybe not---the search for mouse bones is on! These boxes will find a use in my realm—believe it! Marble—On!!!

I tried to keep in touch with my daughter during her first deployment in Iraq through food and what ever else I could do to feel her presence. This recipe has stuck with me, it is very good Iraqi Chicken and Chickpea Stew 1⁄4 cup canola oil 6 cloves garlic 3 small onions, quartered 4 medium waxy-style potatoes, peeled and quartered 2 bay leaves 2TBS yellow curry powder 1 TBS ground turmeric 1 TBS kosher salt 4 skinless chicken legs (about 1 lb.) 4 skinless chicken thighs (about 1 lb.) 1 19-oz. can chickpeas, drained 1 lemon, quartered 1 TBS dried sumac (optional) Flat bread--Naan 1. Heat oil in a 6-qt. pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onions, potatoes, bay leaves, spice mixture, turmeric, and salt. Cook, stirring and scraping bottom of pot occasionally, until onions and potatoes are golden, about 10 minutes. Add chicken and 3 1⁄2 cups chicken stock; stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, until chicken is tender and cooked through, 20–25 minutes. 2. Add chickpeas; cook for 5 minutes more. Taste the stew and season with more salt, to taste. Line 4 bowls with torn pieces of the flat bread. Ladle stew over bread. Squeeze a wedge of lemon over each bowl and sprinkle with sumac.

I agree with Chad--nice "Rainbos"! Marble--On!!

I agree with Fire--I may be nuzt too--lol. Marble--On!!

MK--nice colors and a nice marble! Marble--On!!

This one I would sort as an Akro--just my humble opinion. I appreciate all opinions and look forward to some more on this one. Marble--On!!

Size always matters in Marble ID's. I have looked and looked at this one. The damage does not appear to be a Jabo type damage. I will hold out and call this one a WVS--no maker from me😁. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Nice find!! Marble--On!!

Al is "THE" bag guy. Follow his instructions and never look back. Marble--On!!

Those black and white are just killer marbles.—love em! Marble—On!!

“What worked yesterday doesn't always work today.” Move on and --- Marble on as well!!!

It is not too common--believe me there. "Eh" is a thing for sure--we just do not use the "eh" thing here--"eh"may be very exciting to a new collector, why burst any bubbles? We were all in the "eh" stage of collecting at one point or another. We all try to encourage the marble collecting madness no matter what is posted or displayed. I by the way, collect them all--"eh" or top notch--I just love this stuff!!! "Common" is getting less and less a thing with "Vintage Machine Made Marbles". Get them when you can. Marble--On!!---"eh"--on as well!!!

I would chose Champion here. Of course I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!

I am not into sweets but maybe we should start a recipe thread. We all have our faves for sure. Maybe @Steph can set one up?? Hmmm I love to share recipes. Marble--On!!

This one is a Vitro imho. A very nice one--- Thanks for the images! Marble On!!!

I agree--- Nice one Fire!! Marble--On!!

"Turkey Heads" show up in a lot of different marbles--even the newer Jabo. It is just a part of the process of marble making. I just suck at WVS ID but I would call this one a Heaton. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

This is still my favorite display. These are all 9/16" or under--a hard find for me at least. Marble--On!!
