  1. Welcome "not a guy". There are probably more "not guys" collecting marbles today than guys. I would venture to say that most of yours are close to or over 100 years old. You have a great collection there already. I would frame this bunch in memory of folks past. Marble--On!!
  2. akroorka

    A few more

    The hand made is pretty cool--I had to take a step back when I saw this one. I agree with Fire here-new--not vintage. A vintage handmade lutz in these colors is pretty rare. The other is just a common chinese made marble imho. Marble--On!!
  3. I agree nice eye Fire--What is that crud? A little Laquer thiner will clean it up with out damage to the glass. It could be some some of that stickey stuff used to hold an object down during an earthquake. I have found a few "Filled" marbles in my lifetime. There is a liquid substance that fills glass and makes it look hole--I think that yours is a harmless hold down substance-- Very nice "Brick!! along with the rest of them--the first one puzzles me a bit. This one along with the rest are hand made imho. @Chad G. may have some insight here. Marble--On!!
  4. Yes, a cool Rainbo with what is generally described as "Furnace" brick imbedded in it. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  5. Well---- this is my response--I respect all opinions and hope to see some more. These are "Beach" marbles that were found in either in one of the Great Lakes or an Ocean---on the beach. Cool find! Marble--On!!
  6. Sometimes you just find a special Rainbo Fire. I think that is what you have here. Marble--On!!
  7. MCS is a great call here--- Marble--On!!
  8. Image # 4&5 are my faves here. You have quite a mix listed here. 4 and 5 show a well used Agate—the stone type. The little round marks are hit marks from play. This one busted up plenty of glass marbles in it’s day. A real keeper for me at least. Backlight this one and be rewarded---very cool find! Marble—On!!
  9. Akro patch--agreed--are those sparkles of AV in the black? Very cool if so. Marble--On!!
  10. Consider a Vacor Octopus here--just sayin. Marble--On!!
  11. Yes--nothing special here--except for the cool yellow. I like it and if you do--that is what matters. Marble--On!!
  12. This one is a Jabo from the "runs". Pretty nice looking from one side--that is all that we need--round is round and there is usually a good side😁. Marble--On!!
  13. Purple or pink in a vintage marble such as yours is a rare thing to find. This one is a "keeper". Marble--On!!
  14. This one does show some fire----opalescent glass. @Fire1981 may be right on here. Marble--On!!
  15. It is a big cool Rainbo--maybe some oxblood involved?. A rare find for sure. Marble--On!!
  16. This one is not a Pelt--good eye though--it is close. A WVS is what you have here--probably an Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
  17. "Back in Black" I wear the t-shirt with pride. Rock --On!!
  18. Ummm--I know what you are thinking here. This one is a WVS imho. As always, I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Lets ask @cheese for an opinion. Marble--On!!
  19. I agree with Melissa here--A "bumble bee"--made by Vacor. Nice find! Great images--just crop them a bit to save space here. Marble--On!!
  20. Me too--but this one is very nice for a production made marble from Jabo----imho. This one is not from a "Special Run"--just a basic find from the factory---a very nice one though. @Nantucketdink may have another opinion--lets ask him/her. Marble--On!!
  21. Akro did make a cork that carries this name. Yours may be a weak corkscrew. My first thought was Vacor—then MK, then I looked again at the cutlines. This is the way--- Marble—On!!
  22. Been there---- done that--- Marble--On!!
  23. This one is a Vacor "Scorpion" imho. I know that Marble King made some big ones--one inch was the limit though as far as I know. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  24. Jabo--production made from the company--not a special run. These are hard to find without little white nicks on them. Treat it like an egg---- Great find!! Marble--On!!
  25. Top notch "All Red" imho. One of a kind----- Very cool depth and colors! @Ricmay have an opinion here---- Marble--On!!
