  1. Pretty cool marble. Not many bubbles involoved either--different. This one is a Peltier "Rainbo". I am not a name expert--but this one looks too dark to be a "Tomato". I have grown many tomatoes in the back yard and the "Black" varieties are my faves. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!
  2. The Nickel Guy sent me some keepers fo sure. Notice the blue/white "Apple" @ 4:00. Two CAC-- really? ---They are Very "minty" marbles as well. The rest are just killer examples--a nickles worth would have done here for surešŸ˜. I just love this stuff! Thanks Fire---and "The Nickle Guy" for sure. Marble--On!!
  3. Well--well --well !!, You never know do you? This is a first for me. I would not call it "Lutzā€. It looks like a machine made marble to me. That is about as black as any that I can remember as being called ā€œblackā€ Letā€™s call in a @cheese for an opinion. Happy Holidays all. Marbleā€”On!!
  4. Bump! This maybe selfish but--- I have some flesh involved in this onešŸ˜. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more.šŸ™ˆ. Marble--On!!
  5. Keep us posted Steph--I do Ebay but not the Facebook thing--go where the money is for sure. Just post them here-- https://marbleconnection.com/topic/38521-share-public-marble-auctions-and-sales-listings-here/ Good Luck! Marble--On!!
  6. We sure did--I love this stuff and we are only a few years apart in age--cool stuff. I did send a Nickel--but The Nickel Guy still has a problem with the number five. Thanks Fire--great stuff--great idea. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    Thank you for posting these. Try to focus about a third down from the top. If you have a "Macro" setting--use it on marbles. @Chad G. has given me a lot of tips over the years for taking images as well as--well marbles IDšŸ˜. Keep on trying and no pressure--just do your best and accept some tips now and then. @Fire1981 has been pruducing some fine images lately--it does take some practice. I still use a camera (no smart phone----yetšŸ™ˆ), and I take multiple images picking out the very best---deletion is a great thing once you get the hang of it. You do have the cropping part down pretty well. Any and all opionions here are more than welcomed. Marble--On!!
  8. Thanks for this--yes we are a varied group and I also wish the best to all in this Holiday season. Drive safe--do not take images of marbles while driving please. and keep safe. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    These images do not give a great idea but I would lean Vitro given the images. Merry Hollidays! Marble--On!!
  10. The second image--the large cutline---Maybe not an Akro but a Vitro imho. Akro was not quite perfect and there are a lot of "dug" marbles out there for sale. This unfinished cutmark points me away from Akro here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  11. Nice group Melissa! Images 4 and 6 have me wondering though. The last is just very nice---šŸ˜. Merry Hollidays to you as well!! Marble--On!!
  12. I want to call it a big "All-Red" but this one is special--- "All-Red"--just a special one--almost "Exotic". Pretty cool find! Marble--On!!
  13. At this point I would call it a "Large Vitro". Size always matters with marbles IDšŸ˜. Marble--On!!
  14. Good call Alan. The White/Green parts remind me of a "Jabo Classic". I have seen a few "bigger" ones in this color combo. Marble--On--and Merry Holidays for sure.
  15. There were pleny of Akros made that look like this one. If we have another member taking images while driving---not for me for sure. The images could be sharpened up a bit--I suspect that these were taken while the "Hemi" was rattlling--or not. Maybe a "Coyote"? Marble--On!!
  16. Good one--I am sure that he would--lol. Marble--On!!
  17. I would call these patches. Slags have white--and a transparent base color-simple but true in most instances. These could be Vitro "Conquerors"--just a guess. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more here. Marble--On!!
  18. Well that was before my time here--this might help in your search. I discovered Brian on my own after I purchased some "guineas' a few years back that I knew were false (not CAC). I did the research (Fun --great fun) and found out what I needed to know. Maybe @akronmarbles can help you with your search. The marbles are posted below. Marble--On!!
  19. These are my thoughts-- Post it in the ID section with some more images and a size. This one is worth the effort for sure.(do it at homešŸ™ˆ please). Marble---On!!!
  20. I have a few of his including oxbloods. If you find it give me a hollar, I will be at the very least helpful with an ID. Brian made his own recipe for oxblood--just killer marbles!! Funny how I just found mine in a minute. Marble--On!!
  21. I agree with Vacor. If this one has an Iridescent ā€“or metallic finishā€”it is a ā€œSpumoniā€imho. With no iridescenceā€”maybe a ā€œParrotā€. Yours is pretty cool! Marbleā€”On!!
