  1. OK, I am all in---Jabo--Classic. Nice marble--Great post and a needed bump. Of course all opinions are needed and welcomedšŸ˜. Marble--on!!
  2. Hmm, I never considered Jabo---but it does look like it has some soft glass hits.---- Marble--On!!
  3. I will---for you--šŸ˜. Alley Agate!---and a wierd one at that!! It is as close as I could find in my limited knowledge of WVS during a far-fetched search on the interweb. ( I do suck at WVS ID but I try) As always , more opinions are needed and welcomed. Marbleā€”On!!!
  4. I believe also and have a hard time believing that it was dug. I cannot wait to see the others---- Akro cheated on these Ox patches, yours has the "Full Monty". Nice marble Tommy!!---Very nice!! Marble---On!!
  5. Agreed! It is a very nice looking marble but a WVS imho. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!
  6. This one is 11/16ā€. Have a great day everyone! Marbleā€”On!!
  7. I have been slacking off lately. I had some spare time today so what the----Hakro---LOL. Enjoy! Marbleā€”On!!
  8. Stop it Chad, you are the go-to here on the board. By the way, what is shoe grease? Marble on my marble collecting friend. Yes, a very nice cork!! Marble--On!!
  9. Machine made marbles have been polished for some time. I urge you all to research how marbles are polished and take heed when looking at what you may have purchased. They are showing up today in groups/lots of marbles and many sellers do not even know what they have been selling. This is just a simple primer and I hope to see some more examples posted. In the early days the polishers tried to make the best, just like the Polishers of old ā€œGermansā€. This was a fail because you could literally see what was done with the matrix being out of wack. Today, if you do not use a high powered lupe or headlamp, it will be hard to tell. I find a few using my macro camera under flash. Look for different directions of micro scratches, half polished moons and facets along with a dull finish. These are all very hard to determine in hand. The Brick that I am showing, I decided to keep just because it has a big chunk of iron in it which actually will pull towards a magnetā€”very cool imho. The Master came in a large lot and I just thought that it was a killer Master until my camera told me different. The Sparkler was misrepresented much to the sellers surprise and I received a refund. WHATTT??? People will try to rip you OFFFFF!!! Lets get real, it has been going on for as long as we were human. Collectors are brothers and sisters---family! Marble On my family!!
  10. Well to be quite honest, my first thought was ā€œis that a ā€œHoney Onyxā€ā€”very coolā€. I have not researched them enough to make a call. I am surprised to see the claim of them all being ā€œbiggerā€. I always figured that they were 5/8ā€. More input on these is needed hereā€”I know my pelts but I am in a conundrum on these. All opinions are needed here. Marbleā€”On!!

    B-DAY !!

    Here is an Akro Cork on a Akro candlestick holder---It would not lightā€”I tried! Happy Birthday!! Marbleā€”On
  12. I will take a stab at an ID, but clearer images will help a lot. I believe that you have a nice looking Vitro there. I am not the best at individual names but the base glass looks aqua and I will leave it there. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marbleā€”On!!
  13. Me too, a screwed up multi-colored patch. Marble--On!!
  14. Nice call Ron, I agree--nice marble! Marble--On!!
  15. I will just mention Vacor here. If the base glass is green, it could be a ā€œGreen Parrotā€™. Marbleā€”On!!
  16. I am missing something here. I see a wacky MCS. Just my humble opinion. Marbleā€”On!!
  17. I am comfortable with Vacor ā€œPicassoā€ on this one. Vacors can get pretty wild, this is a nice keeper for sure. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marbleā€”On!!
  18. Nice Rainbo! I would not stretch this into a named category though. All opinions are welcomed. Marble--On!!

    Akro?

    I do not think that it is an Akroā€”maybe a Vitroā€”more likely a WVS that go a little ā€œglobbyā€. Follow the purple streak. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marbleā€”On!!
  20. Left to right. Akro Peltier ā€œbee familyā€ Akro with some odd Jabo traits All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Nice group, Marbleā€”On!!
  21. These are Master Glass ā€œBrushed glassā€ white on blue and these are the ones that I believe are in question vs the OP. I do not recall seeing a ā€œMaster Madeā€ blue based with white marble in a ā€œCometā€ or any other ā€œMaster Madeā€ named marble made before they purchased Akro. As said before this week by one of our bestā€”ā€œthey are marblesā€ and anything can happen. Vitro made these dark blue with white, with this big glob of amorphous white opaque stringy glass with a few different colors of transparent based glassā€”danged if I can remember the nameā€”but they had one. As always, all opinions are welcomed and appreciated---needed as well. Marbleā€”On!!
  22. Nice marble--size matters--does it glow under uvšŸ˜. Marble--On!!
  23. I see no Akro or Master here, I would sort all three as Vitro's. All opinions are welcomed. Marble--On!!
