I do, this place rocks!! Marble--On!!

Go for it Bax. We all love this stuff! Marble--On!!

I have never seen in person, one of the OP’s. Maybe fakes are the new collectable-------nah! Give me the real deal—always. When I find a clay or a Bennie they always go to my wife. Little old jars are filled around the house, way more clays than Benningtons. It just still surprises me what a bunch of clays will sell for. Each to their own. I better pay more attention, my wife put a bunch of them in the front window--I guess that she likes them😁. Marble—On!!

There are some cool shadows on this marble produced by the little flaws. I could look at it all day😵. I wish that I could tell you what it is—not me. I do believe that it is older. Nice colors! Marble—On!!

I worked this one over pretty hard with my photo editor. In my experience; Pistachios have a brown based black color. This marble appears to have more of a true black color. Alley also made a marble that resembles a Pistachio but it does not glow. This one may be an Alley but that is out of my realm. I do not believe that I would call it a Pistachio if it were in my collection and that has nothing to do with the pattern, just the colors. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

That is a nice big one--love it! Marble--On!!

Ahhhhh—CAC “Electric Yellow”. Imho the best color of any slag ever produced and a nice big one at that! Yes the BP did jump a bit. it is just a great marble which I would classify as “ Killer” for sure. Best admired in full sunlight. A really great find Leigh!! Marble—On!!!

I agree on the left one being Vitro. I really think that the one on the right is an Imperial from Asia. It was my first impression and I will stick with it. All opinions are always welcomed and appreciated. Marble—On!!

Hello Bax and welcome to The Marble Connection The one that I circled may be worth another look. It looks like you have a mix of newer along with a few vintage. Nothing is real eye splitting that I see. The little brown clay one is a "Bennington". Once again, welcome and Marble--On!!

That is a very nice looking marble. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

5 gallon buckets or not---still quite rare---considering the amount. A nice find for sure! Marble--On!!

Here you go Chad, I am not convinced--yet, so do not eat so fast. I may be the Gorilla eating the popcorn bag yet! Leigh and I are working out an arrangement with this one and you my friend may get the final word if you are up for it. What is 5-6 bucks for shipping after all? Great stuff is all that I can say---great stuff!! Well worth the effort and great fun!! All opinions are welcomed and appreciated, keep-em coming!! Marble—On!!

Yes, I would be happy to find it as an unexpected marble that was in a lot of others. I would never pay up for it though. I have seen plenty of Pelts with "Butt-cracks", and plenty of Jabos with the fold/seam in the first image---more Pelts though, older ones. Marble--On!!

Well, It does look blue-ish/white-ish in hand. Imaging will always be a bit off for me, and for many that post here. It is not as blue as it looks in my images. I do not think that it is an Akro. Thanks and Marble—On!!

X2 Ann and keep comin back for sure. Marble--On!!

X2 Marble--On!!

The ebay images help me quite a bit. That seller usually does pretty well with ID’s s in my experience. I do believe that it is a weak Pelt "Liberty" and if it were mine that is what I would call it. Marble--On!!

That is a nice big one, I do not think that Akro made production marbles over one inch. There some experimentals that are found much bigger though. I am with you on this one--- Akro. Pretty rare, I have never seen one like this in this size. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

That bright orange/red color was a Kokomo color domestically, exclusively I think. It is a great color, I cannot call it though. More opinions would be necessary. Marble—On!!

Whew, I had tor re-read the topic. 2.88 had me scrambling, Vacor does not even go that big, do they? I believe that you have a big Pelt there. More opinions are always welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!

Here ya go Fire. I stumble into a few while hunting Corkscrews. I don't collect/hunt for them either but I do keep a few just for kicks and I never pass up a good deal if it is cheap enough and I mean cheap. Marble--On!!

Here is a crazy brick coming in at 13/16”. Marble—On!!

A few corks--Happy Akro Friday! Marble--On!!

Condolences’ to you and his family Ron and all of the WVMCC members as well. Rest in peace Hod.

It may mean just that--first run of frosted. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
