  1. I love my “Muddies”, the muddier the better. Yours if full of the "muddiness"--nice one! Marble—On!!

    Slag ?

    I think that it is a Vacor. “Enchanted Forest” was the closest that I could find. Here is another Vacor marketed under different names and in different countries/languages along with different runs and shades of color. “Darick the Wizard” is very close to yours. Here is a set of images from an Australian Ebay seller, with an Australian company marked on the header. They could have been sold in mixed nets in the USA. The pattern is Vacor imho. Do not swallow it Fire🚫. Marble—On!!
  3. I will say this Chad, It does look to be a hand gathered machine made marble and it was probably sold in a Gropper Boxed set. Pelt or CAC imho---good luck with that ID. They are all killers, Marble—On!!

    Vacor

    Here is a net of Trolls next to a net of Henry Hobbit. Yours is a Troll Fire. The same but the green is darker in the Trolls. I do not have any older Mermaids to compare and they are quite different today. The Trolls sold lately are way different. Marble—On!!
  5. Fire has a good point. The way that the white is showing at the cutoffs makes me lean towards MK. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Nice marbles Gladys! Marble—On!!
  6. Hey Fire, I see packs of these on ebay once in awhile. I have never had one in hand. Baseball only as I recall. They look like “Rad Rollers”, probably made by the same company. Marble—On!!
  7. I have a saved image that I just found, here ya go! Marble—On!!
  8. This is a big Pelt “Bloodie” imho. These larger ones have a different base than the smaller ones. There are a few boxes of these posted on the net someplace. Marble—On!!
  9. That is a nice one, put it under UV light and be rewarded. Akro I think. Marble—On!!

    Vacor

    This type of Vacor was marketed under a variety of names, Troll, they have changed, Henry Hobbit, current I think, Mermaid, they have changed and others. (I like Troll, I have a net of Trolls like yours) Yours is a nice dark green, they come much lighter. Marble—On!!
  11. The Oxblood in silvers in different as well, bloodier, more runny, darker. The Lemonades have a more “Brick like” Oxblood. The silvers are not as durable imho, the ox breaks out more readily than the ox in the lemonades. Just my observations, Marble—On!!
  12. Well Fire, never say never but I have not seen one that does. There is one out there someplace I figure, with some UV reaction to it. Marble--On!!
  13. Don't quote me on this Gladys, but I think that MK may have veneered some solid colored game marbles. You know, Chinese Checkers type. It was just a more cost effective way of making marbles. Marble—On!!
  14. The original marble posted is a Lemonade Oxblood. Marble--On!!
  15. That’s better, it has been revealed. It is a very nice marble for sure. The one on the left is not an oxblood, it is a red and white WestVirginiaSwirl of some make and model. Marble—On!!
  16. MK is the King😁 of veneered marbles. Master Glass made veneered patches. Probably a few others as well. Marble--On!!
  17. Silver Oxbloods usually have no UV reaction, I think that the OP is a Lemonade Ox. Its just the lighting playing tricks. Sunlight should reveal the true nature of this one Marble--On!!
  18. This is a great bunch of marbles—very nice images as well. They all look to be mint---hard to believe. They look new and they look old as well. This is a tuff ID. I will call them Akro Agate----- More opinions’ are needed for sure---and welcomed. Marble On !!
  19. Thanks Chad, Some great eye candy being sold there. Shipping is only five gallons of gas--not too bad. I am really digging these two that are up for sale. Marble--On!!
  20. It is a very nice Jabo Lumbo with some great images. Keep them coming and keep hunting. You will find a CAC someday. Marble--On!!
  21. AkroX2--another great set of images as well. Marble--On!!
  22. Nice images! The marble is not too shabby either. Marble--On!!
  23. Killer image here, I agree---Very nice! Marble--On!!
  24. I never am too fussy about the pattern on a corkscrew, twists etc. The thing is with corks is that they all usually have a cutoff mark on both ends that will tell the tale, not always but usually. I alway determine a corkscrew by what it was meant to be and they do not always flow like collectors would like them to. Collect corkscrews, look for the pattern/cutoffs and expand your collection. With the exception of slags, most Akros Agates to be sold as gamers were to meant be corkscrews ( yes I know--they made a bunch of others,solids, clearies, swirls, patches--etc, etc.) Never doubt any colors combinations---not any!!! Marble--On!!
