OK my marble collecting friends. My camera has a lock focus feature—just focus into eternity, lock, and place the focus square on the item---instant BLURRY. This one is just a hair over 13/16”. Good luck!! Blurry –On!! ( great Idea Fire)

Same here, I do not panick we are protected--somewhat. The cacti are inside😁.

Here are a few of my favorites. The advertising ones are fun, looking up the original place and doing the research. Pouches –On!!
-
Interesting stuff you two. I was just browsing the most recent Blocks auction and this one fits with what you both have to say. Very nice! Marble—On!!

I got nailed by a "ground bee" last week. Right in the Achilles, just minding my business like I did all year--them WHAM! It took several days for the sting area to show up—what an itch and stinging---it kept me awake—nothing really works. My wife squeezed it out yesterday---relief--finally!! The bees are in my compost bin and I was about 30 feet away, nasty little buggers—ground bees are. Good thing that I like pollinators.

Ravenswood "Blue Raven"? Yes I do suck at WVS ID😁. Try On!!

Here is a new addition to the stable. A “Big Boy” at 13/16”. I really like earth toned marbles. Marble—On!!

Hey Mojo, I believe that the top one and the bottom one are both Veiligglas. I have an image that I borrowed someplace on the web that I use for ID on them, I will share it with you below. Both of yours are in there. The middle one is the hard one imho. I see what you mean about Jabo though. More opinions are always welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!

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

I have seen the Op with large yellow zig zaggy stitches on the edges in Peltier Boxes---just sayin!! Marble--On!!

LOL-----I Just missed. The "O Boy" box is not present but it does look real, notice the stains from the Akro box under the top (two of them). That could be Chad on the cover, maybe a West-Coast version. Chads neck of the woods anyhow. These also came with traditional ties and real hankerchiefs in the pocket. A few other alterations as well. Quite the proud and handsome dude for the money shot! I Must Say😁! Marble--On!!---as always!! -

German "Striped Opaque"( I just made that up, never heard of one). Marble--On!!

I think Chad has it--it is a nice marble!! Thanks for the name Chad, I can see it named that but I have already forgotten it. I have to go back in posts to remember your name. I look up the avatar😁. Marble--on!!
-
I will try to dive deeper into that green ringed one for sure---just killer. I just love bubbles! Here come the Pelts!! Marble--On!!

I start with boxes like image one, most are in worst shape for sure. I purchased it just for the dividers but I am re-thinking that. I rebuild/restore nasty original boxes of any kind or make. The only boxes that I ever “made” are images two and three. My wife likes them so I keep them. The bottom says it all as far as I am concerned—even back then (I did not measure much back then—LOL). Marble-On!!
-
These can be tuff. I can see an Akro or two--possible and maybe a Vitro or two. You are close to being very right with "Imperial" with most. Marble--On!!

Another Brown and Yellow. Thanks again .62"

Ohh, I suck at WVS but I do not see Jabo here. Just sayin! Marble--On!! -
Holy Cow!! Great idea and subject schmoozer. It may take awhile to catch up though. New images and all. Keep it going! Marble--On!!!

This one is nice and the video does no justice to it because of the reflections. Great images for sure--just crop them and give us a closer look. Killer marble!! Marble--On!!
