Soooo Cute!!

I always though of these beach marbles as ones that were shot from a slingshot/orwhatever and ended up on the beach. These little round orbs are bound to be picked up by the waves and deposited on the beach--the roll quite well. I have never heard of any marble company putting them in a lake or Ocean--rivers --yes. Marble--On!!

LOL a measuring stick😁--I just love this stuff! I am not laughing at you--just me-- years ago, I was in the same place-get a nice cheap plastic calipers. Here is a link--- Amazon.com : plastic calipers measuring tool This one is a swirl probably from a WV maker. More opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

You are hard at it today--love it. It is a wvs--no maker from me. Marble--On!!

I have blown up too many gamers to make a comment here. Marble--On!!

Alley X2. When you work this hard with your images--any comment is acceptable imho. This one is pretty cool. Lets ask @cheese for a comment. Marble--On!!

The cutlines and the deep yellow make me think Akro---the wear is there for sure. I am not too sure though. Lets ask @Melissa for a comment here. Marble--On!!

I agree. Nice find!! Marble--On!

X2--- Marble--On!!

Image seven shows the ¾” rule when trying to determine Akro vs Master. Master shows up as a ¾ coverage and Akro is more 50/50 in coverage. My vote is Master. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!

You are a true junkie--great images once again. It is what you say it is--just beat up--not older. This one saw some great play! @Fire1981 and I would consider it a keeper for sure--I just love it. It would be top shelf in my "beaters" section of the collection. No Bad Marbles!! Marble--On!!

Check out this link--you are not alone. lake michigan marbles - Search Images Marble--On!!

I will, Grading these by years made--very difficult for anyone here considering the marbles that you show. Some could be pre 2020 but most are post that age imho. I appreciate all comments and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

The later MK marbles did come with an anodized looking finish sometimes. I have not seen one this big before. MK sounds right to me here--a later one though. Marble--On!!

I have not seen such a big one before--very cool! These are not any easy find for me. Nice stuff! Marble--On!!

Just Killer marbles--no doubt about it. Great find! Marble--On!!

Vacor does use some pretty cool artwork--great idea! Marble--On!!

Nuff said here. These trinkets were made years ago and if you can imagine going into a shop in the old mall stores where they sold this type of stuff—you would be mesmerized by all the glass trinkets you would be seeing. I have a daughter that investigated this for me. She sold Swarovski Crystal to a lot of smaller shops as a district manager. No one ever heard of it. I am afraid that most of it is in the landfills. That is what happens/happened with slow sales or store closures. It goes out back into the dumpster. My daughter was there to see the waste happening. One day worth $1000—the next day garbage. (she did save a few things for me, no crystal though). I got these documents back in the late nineties from a dealer on the east coast who sold out—so—they were out there. I even have the original little boxes that came individually boxing each marble. I could never figure out the numbers on the boxes and how they corresponded with the marbles. No one wanted these back then—except for me. I should have gotten more info from him/her but who knew? I thought that I was nuts just paying up for what I received. I could just kick myself right now. Live and learn!. Marble—On!!

Not that weird, if it were not for bedbugs (yuk) and Scorpions we would not have any access to blacklight penlights. You Live in PA so a metal detector should be in your future as well--third or fourth--fifth or sixth--maybe ninth generation of folks living in your area--I would do it for sure. We have arrow heads here in Wisconsin--still a hard find. You may find some very cool old stuff from the original settlers. Old stuff on!!

I would flip if I found a Bennie in my garden....keep checking after you till every year and watch out after a good rain. I just love this stuff! Marble--On!!

Continue to backlight my marble collecting friend. You will find many brains and weird stuff in even the most common looking marbles. This is fun stuff and not always meant to be a retirement package of multi dollar marbles. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!

Thanks for that disco. This has been a great discussion, and we need more of this type from everyone involved here. Taking out a few minutes to discuss marbles and showing images from the library that we all own may be the way. To just say that “this is a what” or “this is a never a what” is not enough to keep this board going in this new age. We all must share our knowledge here—in a somewhat extended language. Short here and there’s will not make it. Do not be afraid of any negativity from anyone. I will not allow it. We all have opinions, and I will stand by them all. This is how we all have learned, and this is how the future should continue to be here on “TheMarbleConnection”. Marble—On!!

Well, If you have me starting Thüringen Thursday--we are all bored and out of marbles. I have a few to share but not many. I will just post my faves which I may have traded away. The first one I believe is a banded Opaque. The last two I call "Clearies". Marble--On!!

Thanks for mentioning that disco005. I hardley ever look at videos and my sound is always off. It sounds like Ukulele music to me. It does pick up your spirits a lot for sure. Fitting for cats eyes no doubt. The little sister of collectable marbles for years now is getting some recognition from all. ( I should listen to all of this stuff as a moderator---you never know what may be found in the sound provided-I am lacking here and will continue to do my best) Nice job Dave! Marble--On!!

Here are some more normal Master Glass Cats-- Marble--On!!
