  1. This one is obviously not polished. The one end does resemble one that has been polished though. Keep your eyes open and look at all of them to get a better idea of what is and what is not. Study them all!! Marble—On!!
  2. I agree. I search boxes and games everyday, I have not seen these----that I recall anyhow. Marble--On!!

    No idea

    Backlight this one and be rewarded. I just love back-lighting old "Agates" with hit marks. Backlight them all!!! Marble--On!!
  6. The one on the right is a Vacor “Wicked Owl” imho—nice one!! The left one is Vacor—maybe a very nice “Polar Bear”. Nice marbles non-the less!! Marble—On!!
  7. No Uuugh from me--pretty cool imho. This one could be from many makers--MK included imho. Marble--On!!
  8. It is machine made, more than likely a "Popeye Patch". There are always two cutoffs in a machine made marble. This one just folded to make it look like one cutoff. Nice find--good research-- Marble--On!!
  9. These are corner boxes for a game. Chinese checkers more than likely imho. 60 marbles adds up here. I would have to have them in hand to determine the maker. The marbles came packed in these boxes as part of the game. There may have been two more boxes included with the game, one in each corner The game--name wise or manufacturer itself--I cannot determine. I feel pretty confident here with this one. I would "buy them now" @ $25—that is about it for me. I may find a home for them in the future—or not. Marble—On!!
  10. Not too shabby for a patch. This one is ¾” ---a hard find for me. Marble—On!!

  14. They are Jabo--all of them--sorry for freaking out--😁. Nice run of Jabo though!! Marble--On!!

  23. Ren and Stimpy! Nice marble Fire! Marble--On!!

  25. This one is small—a good tell. It is a hair under 9/16”. Gladly I did not buy it ---for it. It came with some rather nice 1 inch Akros. See the little white marks—I soaked this one in Lacquer thinner for awhile then scrubbed it with a toothbrush. I wanted it to be real but I always have to test my instincts. The white marks are the remnants of polishing compound. The thing was with this one—there were little white marks buried under the glass surface. The natural blow outs show a bit of weird wear around the edges—they should be smooth. It was at the very least- buffed, more than likely a great polish job. Imho—it was a great CAC marble—even with damage—now—it just sucks imho. Sling-shot ammo. ( I will save it for future reference) I just hate any polished machine made marbles—just really hate them. Marble—On!!
