  1. Nice collection Mojo. I cannot wait for the new book. Those older "Wicked Owls" are very nice marbles. Marble--On!!
  2. The pinkish ones and the green and tan ones deserve a better look. They may all be Jabo marbles but those may be a bit special. Marble—On!!
  3. Well now, those are cool images! Not a Jabo--a WVS of some make--older. Marble--On!!
  4. I cannot tell you how many times I have clicked on a sale on ebay thinking that these may be a corkscrew. These are are nice looking marbles. Nuff said! Marble--On!!
  5. It seems to fit quite nicely.( the three above it are Akro👌) Nice find! Marble--On!!
  6. It is not a Jabo, I will leave it there. Marble--On!!
  7. It just seems to me that yellow in a Ravenswood would be strange thing. I agree with Chad either a CAC or a very nice Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
  8. Slag X2. This one is probably an Akro. Some of these red slags do look like they may be orange. Orange slag’s are a reality, so they say, I have never held one but I do keep looking. Marble—On!!
  9. I am pretty sure that Vacor tumbles them. You will see an occasional one with a fold that is still wet. Marble—On!!
  10. I think that you may have a nice big Peltier "Bumble Bee". Killer size and not too common. Search like heck for some AV in the dark parts. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!!
  11. This is what I use on rust stains. Good for your teeth and good for your marbles😁. The weaker the better--just a bit of water and a mild scrub wiil do it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z7J0SL0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Marble--On!!
  12. Nice “Turkey Head” on this one! I would leave it alone if it were in my collection. Turkeys show up in many WVS marbles. If this one is just “bad Glass” with no hit marks involved I would say that it is a dug marble. (Hard to tell even with the nice images). I would shy away from CAC and call it a WVS from another maker. It may be an Alley Agate. I appreciate all opinions. Marble—On!!
  13. Yes, more Images for sure. The big Pelts and the big Corkscrews did not always behave very well. Regardless of that---nice looking (nice size) marble!! Marble--On!
  14. This is all that I can add--great images--great looking WVS. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble--On!!
  15. Do you remember these hanging from the light poles? Yes—I saved one—brittle as all gets out. They had Rudolph, Elves, Angels etc in this same format—around three feet wide. I had a spare for parts but a tree took it out in my garage attic—go figure. Preserve what you can and of course-- Merry Christmas.
  16. It could be Ron--lets get it in hand for a final eval😁. I thought this as well--it is pretty clean for an Imp. though. Marble--On!!
  17. I agree. It is a cool marble. Wish I could help. Roger Hardy is not a bad guy to ask here. He was very receptive to a question that I had awhile back. Marble--On!!
  18. Why not Ron? The interweb provides a variety of them😁. I agree Chad--Zebras---not. I will stick with the black and white based and the occasional Red and white, Dark Red and white, Orange and white, Brown and white, the Burnt Red and white, Bronze and white, or all of the above that include AV, or the Blue and white—are there others??. The Pelt names do get out of control. Poor Noah, I think that he liked the Black and White the best. This is of course all in fun. Marble—On!!
  19. These are some great images Dave 13. Nice marbles as well!! Marble--On!!
  20. ACME Realers have a base glass that is opalescent and they generally do not bleed into the matrix--just a nice thick patch. I am not feeling Akro or Peltier here. Hmmm?? Marble--On!!
  21. I will second that--nice marble! It may well be--just out of my realm for a positive ID. Marble--On!!
  22. This is a nice one. Nice deep yellow with two varieties of white ( one of which appears to be opal) with a transparent base. Ya know what--I would not rule out Champion--I do suck at WVS ID though. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
  23. That statement says it all--if you go back far enough that is. How many Alleys were purchased as CAC before the big reveal from the digs? CAC collectors were a wild, big spending bunch. They still have some of the best Alleys ever seen though. We will all see them again, before too long. This is the way! Marble--On!!
