  1. These "Bricks" , with the just killer Homemade or "Batch white" are some of the tops imho. These are Marbles that were made "In House" with glass that was made "On sight"--no cullet included here imho. Just good old fashioned Glass making. I love these--to the limit. Great marble!!

    Vitro?

    Alta, Canada had more of an advantage in the collection of English marbles than we did here in the USA. I believe that this one came from England. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    Hmm, Vitro is the best that I can come up with. Marble--On!!
  7. Crazzy stuff Fire--just crazy. Love it! I do the same with a pen when I am talking on the phone--well, not quite the same----quite a bit less imho. I was never trained. I just hate talking on the phone and I have to do something while putting up with it. I scrabble--a fine art---Scrabbiling--- We all are marble collectors here and I doubt that few that post here do not appreciate fine art. I am a lover of Van Gogh--I still have two ears though--so far--😁. Marble--On!!
  8. I think that @shiroaiko may have an opinion on the OP. If @aussie has any opinions here they are welcomed as well. @YasudaCollector can step in any time--if he is not too deep into the books--LOL. Marble--On!!
  9. I really have all that I could ever ask for Chad. If there was one marble that I would love to hold in hand-- it would be one of those CAC with the weird green/blue. These colors just knock my socks off and every time that I see one, I start to drool, I have never seen one in person, or held one--LOL. This is just a stolen image from Google. Marble--On!!
  10. I am not a collector of contempory made marbles but this question deserves some attention. Marble--On!!
  11. Killer marbles Mojo--great post here. Thanks for sharing these. Is the last one a peewee? Great Images!!!! Marble--On!!
  12. Nice clear glass here--the colors are just top notch. I have seen quite a few cats--too many imho--but this one just knocks my socks off. It is just a killer marble! I do not claim to know who made it--Whoever made it--it was one of the best that they ever made. Nice images here--Thanks for sharing it. Marble-On!!
  13. I would sort this one as a common WVS. No Akro here imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  14. Here is a one inch Akro slag--pretty rare these white ones. Marble--On!!
  15. I actually found a "CAC Cobra" quite a few years back in a lot of Cats for sale on e-bay. I wish that I had an image. Oh well😄. It was out of my league and I sold it for a mear $550 at a show. I know, it was worth more--for sure. But $15 to $550 is a pretty good deal in any world. I still look--there are very Rare to find in the wild. They are still out there--just keep the search up! Marble--On!
  16. I just love a good clear glass for some reason--bubbles are double that factor. This one is 2"--maybe an orb but still pretty cool to look at and hold. I just love this stuff!. Marble--On!!
  17. They do seem to be a hard find--these "Girl-scouts". I have a few that are not well covered that I found in a bag or two. I just love the Bumble Bees--these are getting pretty rare today--the older ones at least. Imho there are 200--300 Bumblebees--Maybe more, for each "Girlscout" found in my life. Luve -emm!! Marble--On!!
  18. Get back to us when you figure it out. Smartphones can be dumb sometimes. Marble--On!!
  19. Me too, I also like the Ramblers--LOL. Marble--On!!
  20. I would sort both as Alley. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marbles! Marble--On!!
  21. @Al Oregon is the one to ask here and I am sure that he will chime in. I do know that Vitro actually shipped equipment back and forth to Washington State. Why they moved back and forth--I do not know/remember. Vitro has always been the Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler of the marble collector’s world. Akro was the Chevrolet, Pelt was the Ford and CAC had the disadvantage of being too rare—maybe a Duisenberg. There are a lot of Ramblers/Nash out there, lol. I owned many of them and stiil do regarding marbles😁. Marble--On!!
  22. There are a few companies that made "Corals". I could care less who made them--I just love them. I am a coral freak for sure. Thanks for sharing this one. Nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  23. X3--nice find and nice ID on your part. Marble--On!!
