Here is a great video for those of you hesitant to post any marbles that are not “perfect”. This collector has such enthusiasm for what she does that it makes me want to go out to the shores of Lake Michigan and do my own thing. Monetary value does not drive all collectors, it is the search and find that drives most of us. I used to go metal collecting and remember the joy of finding a penny instead of a pull-tab. Collect what you like and what turns you on for sure. Collect on!!! Show what you have and enjoy all of the collectors that "light up" with the happiness of a “find”!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN3oG--8yFs

Here are a few pee wee Pelts. I am not 100% on the yellow one but that is how I sorted it, so I will stick with it for now. (it could be a Vitro) I love these little Peerless Patches, such depth/color to them. Marble—On!!

I have this same image in my files🏴☠️. Some of the hardest work that I ever did buying a marble on e-bay was a large group with what I thought might be a hidden Grey-coat. I was never convinced but I did buy the lot. It turned out to be an Akro. I was not disappointed in the least. If I can find it I will post it in the future. Marble—On and Dream on as well!!!

A Liberty, Rebel, Grey-coat mix. Imho. A great size, in great shape and it may be one of a kind! A SUPERB marble!!! Keep em coming Gladys Marble—On!!!

Hello Gladys, Not an Akro--MK. A nice marble, once you put some light on it. MK marbles show up with some Ox from time to time. When ever I see the little "hooks" on the top or bottom of a marble(sometimes both) like I have shown in the following image I start thinking MK. Mentally, I have always thought that the whole "patch" with the included hooks/cutoffs at the ends looked like Water Buffalo horns that were cut off or shortened. Marble--On!!

I would sort it as a Master as well. Killer marble Gladys. Marble--On!!

Why not Veiligglas Mojo? I am sure that not all of the marbles that they produced are the "killer" examples that we see posted online. Marble--On!!
-
I have one that looks close in color to the one that you posted Mojo. I call this one a “Dark Red Zebra” at 11/16”. No need to get the fruits😁 or vegetables😁 involved here. (see how I covered my tracks) Marble—On!!

I recently purchased this cool “Witches Head” Toothpick holder. She helps watch over my collection just fine and also doubles as a cool marble holder. Made by the Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Company of Greentown, Indiana known by collectors as "Greentown Glass." This company made a bunch of the “chocolate” glass that you may have seen of your searches. Don’t freak out on me Greentown collectors, she is pretty chipped up, just not where it counts.🤑

The dog I had at the time was a cross between a Cocker Spaniel and a Shih Tzu---I am not going anywhere with the "designer" name for that one.🚫

I had a piranha in a tank for over 13 years--quite a friendly little fish---to me at least. He also had a friendship with my dog--unreal how animals connect sometimes. I wish that I would I would have had it mounted now.

That Heaton ornament reminds me of some hot peppers that I grow--almost time to order some seed---

I have had a Roku for a long time, upgraded to a newer one several times. No complaints. Plenty of free stuff and plenty of new as well. Got a Roku TV a few years back for the living room. Same success. Roku On!!

WoW--What a great find. I am surprised that even Roger Hardy has one--hens teeth for sure. -
I see one Heaton corkscrew-red and white--cool beans. What do you call the stuff that they are bedded in--also very cool. Marble foam, I like it. Marble--On!!
-
I love this "pumpkin" color too. A rare find in an Akro marble--I wonder why? I have a few that were dug--next friday maybe? Akro--On!!!

Happy Birthday for sure. Sagittarius!--love it. The following applies to those over 60 as well😁 Yes I have one coming up as well.

The last three are far from common IMHO. I wish that I could help ID them. ( I suck at WVS ID) I can give it a bump though. Great marbles and great images as well! Marble--On!!
