  1. I would call th first one a "Popeye". The Carnelian is just a great example--love these. The third one I have not seen before-- it is a corkscrew--love it! Marble--On!!
  2. Me either--nice Marble!! Pretty wet looking to me-"Bitchen" if you know what I mean
  3. Disco005 this is the best example that have seen of a Champion of this type. Just a very fine example-rare and cool. Marble-On!!
  4. Thanks for that statement. Marble--On!!
  5. RAR are Fires initials name wise. He was a deep woods fire fighter and curently drives a Zamboni ( what a change)--he also loves chickens. Fire rocks! Marble--On!!
  6. Elvis had everything that he ever wanted--except for mom. It would not surpise me to find out that Elvis collected marbles. What a trip that would be-- Marble--On!!
  7. X3-- Nice find! Marble--On!!
  8. This one is a tad weird for sure. Lets ask @Mojo for an opinion here. Nice marble regardless of the ID. I think that this one is a Vacor as well--no names from me. Marble--On!!
  9. I see where Tommy is coming from--the Pastel green which is a Vitro color. This throws me off too. I want to call it an Akro but I think Tommy is right on with his assessment. Killer no doubt—nice marble! Thanks for sharing it. Marble—On!!
  10. Not a Crow my marble collecting friend--a cousin for sure (maybe a Grackle not a name just a joke here). The right hand one is just top notch---love it--great marble! Thanks for sharing these. Marble--On!!
  11. I still have the hair Ric--if I let it grow. It just does not look the same with a White Beard. Nice share Mojo!! Little kids --On!!
  12. Every day my friend---I wish!! Marble--On!!
  13. Fire is on the right track here. Your images are a bit dark for a final eval. I would consider that the English made Whisplers were more available in Canada than in the USA (if the Queen desired it). Did you know that the Queen collected marbles? Just kidding here😁. Marble--On!!
  14. Acually--the bottom one in the first image deserves a better look--this one does not fit with the rest. All four sides please (Does a marble have four sides?😁). Nice buy regardless. I would pay up for these for sure--cheaper than a bag of chips! Marble--On!!
  15. Welcome to TheMarbleConnection waterfowlee810. (duck hunter?) The marbles that you show--some are old some are new--Asian and Mexican--a mix. Throw them in a fancy jar and ask $30--gone in an instant. None are valuable but as as display piece--pretty cool. Nice colors! Marble--On!!
  16. I agree Fire. Marble--On!!
  17. MasterMadeMarbles turned into Master Glass--the quality was not the same and it was forced by the USA allowing certain items after WW2 to rebuild the Japenese markets. MasterGlass actually purchased Akro and this is why we have some difficulty distiguishing some of the later boxes. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
  18. ???? I do not know--- Marble--On!!
  19. Agreed Ric These confetti marbles are a cool thing to hold and feel. While the marble was being made, there were different colors thrown over the little orbs as they passed down the roller. Yours are well covered. No swindle here unless you paid too much. 20 bucks or under would be a good deal. Marble—On!!
  20. Nice marble Ric—very nice-- but I think that Fire has a different perspective here and I hope that he shares his ideas as well. I think that I know who Fires marbles came from—a very respectable source for sure. Marble—On!!
  21. Well that is very cool stuff shiroaiko (does shiroaiko mean akroorka in Japenese?😁). The Op in this post is still a mindblower--love it! Marble--On!!
  22. X2---Master digs are unknown to me as well. Marble--On!!
  23. What RIc says X2. There is a good chance that this one came from the "Digs". Marbles that were not up to par would be disgarded by the company quality control and buried in a variety of ways. Way back then there were few controls on what and how an item--any item, could be disgarded. Many CAC marbles that we see today came out of a river. Marble--On!!
  24. I have heard the term before but a more in depth explanation would be appreciated. My "New book" does not have anything on Tweeners that I could find. Marble--On!!
  25. Welcome to TheMarbleConnection vintage stuff. Nice find for sure. Do you know @Mojo--give him a ring on a Personal Message. Marble--On!!
