  1. VitroX2-- Marble--On!!
  2. You have to get more sharp images for a proper ID. Marble--On!!
  3. Well, if it is an Atmosphere--and I agree here--it is a nice example of of how weak the colors may be. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  4. My wife and I collected "slag glass" and McCoy pottery together for many years. Auctions, flea markets, estate sales, yard sales--etc etc. Then one day at an antique mall in Oshkosh WI we found this book by the Hardy’s--What? They made marbles too?? This pushed the limit for me--then I found a book by Everit Grist--off we went. Of course we had friends that collected other things that thought that we were "nuts" about collecting marbles. I had a friend "gift me" a coffee can full of marbles from her ex. I dumped them out and said---oh no--These are too valuable for a gift. About $7,500 later she knew. This was about 30 years ago and they still hold their value. About forty books later--here I am. Then the internet changed it all. I still have the marbles that my mom gave me from her dad--one was beat up like Chads Akro slag ( nice one by the way)--mine was a Oxblood Eggyolk--just a killer old used up marble. Grandpa played marbles---no doubt. Marble--On!!
  5. A funny thing, as old as I am to this collecting thing--I can pick out a Vacor but a wvs just puts me back in my tracks. Swirls do "stuff like that" to me as well. Marble--On!!
  6. Wolf crossed the line today. I suggest banning him.

    I did what I could do--oh well--I failed:dunno:.

    Marble--On!!

    Modern?

    Nice marble! I an befuzzled here. I would sort it as a wvs--just not too sure. Still--a nice find. Marble--On!!
  9. Akro x2--nice patch type! Marble--On!!
  10. X2--I love to look hard at game marbles. To get a proper ID on this one in a posting online like this?? Hard to tell. Put it in your pocket and take it to a show for a proper ID. Marble--On!!
  11. Master sounds right here. Marble--On!!
  12. These are Vacor imho. Compare them to "Fairy" by Vacor and see what you think. Marble--On!!
  13. I agree, Hurricanes also show up as a "frosted type". Names are names but these would all be considered as Hurricanes imho. I do not remember any that had an iridescent finish. There may be some--I just have not seen any. Marble--On!!
  14. I agree with Vacor here. Marble--On!!
  15. I agree with Akro here. Marble--On!!
  16. Very cool indeed. I agree with CAC here. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  17. It is a weird one but I think that it is a Jabo classic. More opinions are needed and appreciated here. Marble--On!!
  18. These trades/offers should be done via a Personal Message (PM) Wolf. Step back in line and be rewarded. Marble--On!! Nice group here stonehenge! The "Caligriphy" is just awesome. Marble--On!!
  19. This is a great thread by Chad. No not be ashamed here--your best is your best and we all appreciate that here. Another one of my faves is posted below. Not quite done--it just takes time and patience. Marble--On!
  20. Thanks Fire, To you, and all of you do that do the job of putting out wild fires around the world! Marble--On!!

    Patch

    This one is an Akro Patch regardless of the UV reaction imho. Marble--On!!

    ??????

    This is a very fine example of a well cropped image---hint---hint to the rest of us here😁. I am guessing that the size is over 3/4" here. It does remind me of a Pelt Rainbo--a big one. If it is smaller--like say 5/8"--Akro imho. This one has a lot going on for a Patch type. Nice post! Marble--On!!
  23. Nice backlighting! Marble--On!!
  24. Crop your images more my marble collecting friend and do not repeat them. It would be a good thing to do. Marble--On!!
