A very nice Master Made Marble. Marble--On!!

This one may be a "Silver Oxblood". If it is a Silver, it is a nice one. I have yet to find one in this shape, they are usualy quite beat up in my experience. They usuually have some opaque white swirls involved as well. Milkys have definite opaque white base in my experience. I just call them like I see them. Marble--On!!

It is just odd for me to start an MK Monday post so here are two odd ones. Tell me what you think and of course---Post some MK marbles today! Marble—On!!!

I found this one today while I was digging through some MK’s. I think that it belongs here---I am not so sure—just pretty sure. It is an odd one. A hard one to shoot, I did my best. Any and all opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble—On!!

Very nice indeed! Akro on!!

Yes, Akro imho. Marble--On!!

This one is giving me some Vacor vibes. Marble--On!!

I think that you have an Akro there Fire. Marble--On!!

A nice 7/8’ Veiligglas, my Sundays best.

Nice hdesousa, I will keep the search on for another, you just never know! Sometimes things fall right into your lap---after years and years of searching. Early on in this marble collecting madness that I have, with 3 kids and less cash to spend, I saw one at an Antique mall in The Wisconsin Dells, my wife was along and I had to pass at under $200. No regrets, just facts. The search continues---and always will---I love this stuff! Marble--On!!

It is a great looking marble Carowill and I would not restrain it to those two choices. At 3/4" it may be from a few other makers. More opinions are needed as I suck at swirl ID's. Marble--On!!

Party time! Excellent!"

This size is meant to be dropped on toes--the one that squeals the least wins.

This would be my only reason to travel by air again in my life. I do not travel well. Sometimes it may be worth the challenge. Thanks Ric!

It is a very nice rainbo, not a "just a rainbo" imho. Marble-On!!

TIMES TWO!!!

Books are great, Internet items are a good reference, and old auctions will tell you much. Stick around here and ask questions is always the best option imho, rejection here is almost nil---just be nice as you have always been. What Steph did with "Steph's Study Hall" is a collectors dream find, search and be rewarded.(Thanks again Steph😁) There are folks here that have contributed so much to the world of marble collecting that it may be hard to imagine for anyone with a limited knowledge of the hobby. Do not be shy, just do it, ask it, and of course--- keep asking. We all appreciate a challenge and no one here will know it all. We all will learn from what anyone has to offer at one time or another🦾. And of course---- Marble--On!!!

I have one and I will not give it up for a paltry sum😁. Great book!! Marble--On!!

If you have practiced this hobby/passion long enough you will know what I mean. Sometimes a marble just feels old. This is one of them that rang that bell for me. Egg-yolk yellow on a green/blue transparent base. Keep practicing/researching and you will feel it too! Marble—On!!

I am really getting into these big well covered Vacor marbles, especially the ones with a wave structure to them Here is a “Neptune” at 1.6” that decided on it’s own that it was a”Tidal Wave”. I love this stuff!! There are “no bad marbles” just some that are great and some that are not so great. Collect what you like and of course--- Marble—On!!

My daughter made this for me while she was in High School. Does it get any better than this? I have had it hanging over my desk for almost thirty years. I have been a van Gogh freak forever and would love to see an original someday. Mojo, I would trade places for just a week or so. Van Gogh on!!

Regardlesss of age, you are showing some great MK's here Mojo. Marble--On!!

Vacor Roosters can be tricky. Some are well filled, some are not. They are a red based marble with white swirls but when the white gets close to the surface while still covered with red, it displays as a tan-ish or cinnamon😁 tint. They can almost look like they have three colors sometimes. Marble—On!!

I have not seen a black green and white one before like the one that you show--pretty cool that one. Marble--On!!
