  4. Nice marble--a first for me. Marble--On!!
  5. I am on board with Ric. Nice color combo. Marble--On!!
  6. I circled what I believe is damage from play. Marble--On!!
  7. Nice marble--I have seen it someplace before--hmmm. Marble--On!!
  8. Here is a link to Alibaba showing some like yours. Marble--On!! https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Wholesale-Assorted-Sea-Glass-Pebble-Handmade_60809124863.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normal_offer.d_title.e8974b89Hy1eG5
  9. Some old swirls look new and some new swirls look old----- This is the best place to look---or ask----As you can see, it is a tuff one. Keep them coming--- Marble-On!!
  10. Go ahead and ask me why I will not ID a WVS. These are all Champions, from a dig, from a well researched digger/collector. I have had these since the late 90’s. I always keep my digs separate. I was a classic closet collector for many years and I researched the heck out of everything that I could, including sellers-----I still love research—I am out of the closet now but I still research to find the truth. These are what they are—no doubt. Do some research on Champion marbles and be rewarded. Too many marbles are I’d as------well you know. Marble—On!!
  11. I agree. Marble--On!!
  12. Pink colors always turn me towards Jabo. This is a cullet marble no doubt. As always--better in hand. Marble--On!!
  13. Too much money, be patient. These red colored Akro "Onyx Agates" are a nice find. They do show up in lots. They are usually slag’s under this name but these corks were sold as such in a variety of colors. They come with nice clear red glass as a base and bubble filled red glass as a base---the clear with no/fewer bubbles are harder to find imho. I do believe that they were two very separate runs—years apart They did show up in the Akro Tins with blue, green and yellow/amber of this type as well. Here is a shot of the reds with no/fewer bubbles in an Akro 200 tin. The blues are really killer marbles. The reds took me awhile but I think that they are an easier find than the rest. Marble--On!!
  14. Yes, Akro Corkscrew---nice find! Marble--On!!
  15. It does look Jaboesque—hit it with UV and see what it lights up as. It might just be an Akro Carnelian. There are quite a few Jabo’s that have fooled me into thinking Akro--- Just sayin!! Marble—On!!
  16. Nice one! Never seen one quite like it. I am pretty sure that it an Akro Corkscrew. Marble--On!!
  17. Nice corkscrew. Marble--On!!
  18. Is it Lavender throughout or is there some transparent clear/no color glass involved? It could be a cross-over made between runs of different colored glass. Cool Marble!! Marble—On!!
  19. The black and blue one really wants to be an Akro Corkscrew. A few more shots will help it out for sure. Marble--On!!
  20. I agree with all that has been posted--even mine😊. The Oringinal post---or---OP may be a Champion "Wire pull". This was a good ID post---keep them coming Jeremysvt !! We all can agree to disagree here---I agree with the masses---mostley. Marble--on!!
  21. Home!!---just do what you must to get there. Best wishes and much patience wished to you as well !!! Marble--On!!
  22. Cat-eyes or Pelts? Check them closely----I have an eye for Pelts but it did not grow overnight. Find one in a lot, sort the rest--if they look the same, they are the same, and they just may not have the same construction. I really thought that these were Vitro cats until I took my marble collecting time and really looked. One is enough—then keep doing the search until you convince yourself to either a yes or a no. You are the collector---do what you must do. Cut-lines are a good tool to use in the ID of marbles, matching colors, UV light reaction, and a good eye will always persevere imho. Take your marble collecting time and as always---Research, research, research---Look, look, look---if not you—who else? Do your best and of course---if in doubt—bring them here with some nice images of the cutlines. We all love a good opinion at an ID. Marble--On!!
