    SHIRT

    After Chad woke up ----this is was what was really goin on.
  2. I believe that the 0.62 Marble is a Vitro. The 0.95 may be a large Peltier "Rainbo". All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Nice marbles, And welcome to you as well. Marble—On!!
  3. I think that you may of misplaced it. Nice white glass--maybe another euro? Marble--On!!
  4. Nice marbles Mojo. To tell the truth, I am not getting any Vacor or Asian vibes here---or USA made either. The blue and white swirl could of course be a WVS of some type. The sparkler/whisplertype I think is euro. The patches--no clue. Marble--On!!
  5. I would not call it an Indian Blanket. Just a nice corkscrew. Dang, I did get tag teamed. I tried to get a Peltier look to it--failure! Fire is up next!
  6. This one just needs more opinions. Better yet, place it in the hands of an expert, and I mean physically in the hands of an expert. Bob Block?? I have had 2 of these in my collecting career, sold them both---over my head and out of my realm. (Lots of corkscrew cash besides) This one—without spit—is suspect. What provenance does it have? Marble--On!!
  7. I hear you Dave 13---almost too nice---but?? I wish I knew and I am glad that I am not bidding--(If it were up for that). More opinions are needed and I only hope that we can determine the culprit or the original maker. It is a very nice marble regardless. Selling this one as a take off would still get some good money. Marble--On!!
  8. Love it as well. As an Akro collector I still have to check myself---I always want them to be an Akro. Marble--On!!
  9. This one we alway have known as a "Pickle Jar" or a "Peanut Butter" jar. They were reused as canning jars because of the perfect fit regarding the canning tops. Nice find!!
  10. Well, you know silver--if you did not poilsh it--well you know--white gold?---- Nice find!!
  11. Nice peewee----one image will not do it for me though. Love it-- Marble--On!!
  12. The only thing that I see wrong with this marble is the glossy finish. Sherryfain----- if it has been "spit on" ala Fire or there is any other chance that it may have been glossed for these images please let us know. It is a very convincing marble in all other ways. "CAC Guinea"---less the glossy finish. The colors are right, the seams are right--the finish is not. Of course, all opinions are welcomed and needed with this one. I would love to know who made it if it is not a CAC🦄 and get this info out there to the masses. It is quite convincing. Marble--On!!
  13. Great images Gladys---love the pontils. Marble--On!!
  14. OK--here we go again. 11/16"-------just over 5/8". Marble--On!!
  15. A "Streamer"--I just posted one yesterday--a nice yellow one. They came in different colors all in a clear base. Vacor--On!!
  16. This one is just killer---possibly cloisonné on silver. Great find!!!
  17. Timex---"Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin"---or not😁.
  18. The clear transparent item is a chicken watering device. I think that you invert a canning jar full of water on it. Cool stuff William.
  19. I think that Vacor "Elephant" is right. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  20. Thanks for all of the input on this one. I can call it a Sparkler for sure. From which side of the Atlantic will be taken into consideration for sure. Marble--On!!
  21. I do not cross paths with many of these so I thought I would share it today. Marble—On!!
  22. Here is the thing with me and CAC marbles. I do not have many—30-40 maybe-- but I have researched the heck out of them—Alley vs CAC vs Akro etc etc and I know one when I find one. I found a “submarine” in the wild once and sold it quickly—lots of Corkscrew money there. (I should have kept an image) I treat them like “German Handmades” and never mind a little damage—let’s face it they are rare. Blow holes are common with these—almost like Pelts. I hope that some more are posted soon—I just luv-em—especially the “Electric Yellow Slags”. I will post some more “common” swirls soon. (No CAC are really common) Marble—On!!
