I love Muddy's and at $5 would have scooped it up in a heartbeat. Each to thier own, I would pay $5 for a 5/8"---just love em. Covid keeps me away from deals like this-oh well. I have to do what I have to do. It is a "muddy" no doubt. Marble--On!!!

I congratulate the buyer, and the fairly new seller. There no doubt was some great information given to the seller to avoid a variety of charges/taxes. I communicate with many sellers, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. It is always worth a shot. I always give them my best as if it were face to face. I think that EBay and the feds lost out on some cash because of this great post. Trust was brokered and a great sale was made as well. Both parties are happy and I hope that I do not see a plethora of these for sale in the future. The box/marbles should be kept together; I think/hope that it will. I hope to see some more images from the buyer someday. It is a great/rare thing. They come and they go. I think that this one went to the right place. A buyer with much to learn from got this one. Then again, it may be posted again later---- Marble—On!!!

The seller attempted a repost on this item and failed. Here is a link. A few new images were included. Marble--On!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/224854228610?hash=item345a5b3e82%3Ag%3A8kEAAOSwVYRiF30D&LH_BIN=1&nma=true&si=fDQ0PARA0WXRJ8eSqvpvjGc4jEY%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I agree.

Patches can be hard. The one on the left is foriegn. Maybe a Vitro on the far right. Marble--On!!

Believe me, I looked very hard. I though I saw a bit of opalesence--not. I did see a ghostly image of a guy with a shovel. Right now everything is kinda fuzzy. Carrots for supper, my eyes are shot.

I found this in some dug MK today. It has a cool little window. Marble—On!!

I call this one an Orange Brick, I looked at it three times this week, on the fourth time I decided to post it here, my Sundays best. Marble—On!!

Hello Tommy, The cut-off marks are always a good start for an ID if there are no pontils but sometimes they are hard to find, the cutoffs. There were a few companies that made Hand-gathered machine made slag’s. MFC and Akro were two of them, I believe that CAC did as well, they are a tad easier to distinguish from the others. I would have no problem pointing at MFC on yours. As always more input is appreciated. Marble—On!!

A really nice marble Marbleized!! Marble--On!!

"Carnelian" Mojo not Cornelian. A nice one, thats a killer brick as well! There is also an "Oxblood Carnelian" that Akro porduced, that type will rarely have any glow. Marble--On!!

Nice tail on that one Gladys, it looks like it wraps all the way around. Marble--On!!

You never disappoint Gladys, great marbles once again! Marble—On!!!

Steph, I worked this one over on my image software pretty well, I can only do so much. A look of the other side would be a great thing. As you can see, it is more transparent than semi-opaque. The background shows through quite well. I cannot call this one but it never hurts to help. Marble--On!!

This post does include “swirls” and I am surprised that more of these have not been posted. This is a Jabo “contract” marble. This one came to me with many names, runs etc, etc attached. Too complicated for me—I just like it. Is there really a “bad” side? These top notch Jabo contract marbles will be out of reach before too long. Get them while you can! Marble—On!!!

I am thinking Vitro on this one Gladys. More opinions are needed of course. Marble--On!!

Submarines are always a topic for debate in the Peltier world. I will defer to the Pelt-Heads here. It is a nice Peltier marble, no doubt. Marble--On!!

Great job folks on all of these--- Great marbles boris64--really, very nice ones. The fourth one (next to the pelt in question) is just---really cool to look at. I agree that the one on the far right looks like it may be a Pelt-----Champion would be my choice in an ID.(I suck at WVS ID) The one in the middle deserves a better look or set of images imho. Marble--On!!

Hi Gladys, I will have to admit that my first impression was Jabo as well. The new set of images reminds me of a Vitro “Buttermilk” configuration. As always, a few more opinions are needed and will always be respected. You sure come up with some great ones Gladys! Marble—On!!

Schmoozer---both are very nice, the first one is the first that I have ever seen---a really great and rare color combo of an Akro Agate marble. Marble—On!!

Not just Sparklers--all killer Sparklers---really, really nice!!

I received these two in a trade with a stalwart of the The Marble Connection; they were both a bonus/add on. I did not expect these two. A very nice red/orange/yellow corkscrew at 9/16’ and a very cool Root beer based, egg-yolk snake at 5/8”. There were four more nice Akro Agates marbles that came in the trade, all unexpected.—I almost wet my pants. (Good thing that I wash them once in awhile) I have traded with a few members of The Marble Connection and I am never disappointed in the outright generosity of the folks that post here. I am so glad that I have built enough trust with the folks on this board that they are willing to do a trade with me. Build trust and post on!! (Be nice, it is not so hard) Trading a few is way better than shelling out cash—the shipping is much cheaper as well. To all of my Internet marble collecting friends and fellow members of “The Marble Connection”, Marble—On!!!
