OK, I am hanging an apple out today. We would freak out if that one landed on our feeders.
-
Sorry for the wording that I used Ron. The bag is the same one, front and back ( whick makes it only cooler imho) I can only display it one side at a time here at home, so I gave it it's due here. I thought maybe the marble might be paired with it as a Champions prize. Marble--On!!
-
They are both nice but the yellow and green is very nice. Marble--On!!
-
It is a pretty marble and I love the way that it is cutoff between the darker streak in the third image. I cannot call this one other than very nice. It may be a Jabo. More opinions needed. Marble--On!!
-
Akro Agate slag. Nice one, most of the white is buried. Marble-On!!
-
Hmmm, That is a pretty big marble, slightly egg shaped from the images that I see. Not a Jabo, the hit marks looks like it is more vintage, a “harder glass”. More opinions needed on this one. Marble—On!!
-
Just a thought on this one Vacors can be very nice and hard to ID. Some are normal or sub mormal and some are stellar. It reminds me of some Champion marbles I have seen as well. Not an older slag imho. A swirl. Two colors for sure. Marble--On!!
-
CAC in my opinion, Nice turkey head, Not a flame, more points needed in line at least. Five or more is the accepted flame thing by most collectors. Marble—On—nice marble!
-
Great ones Ron, If they only grew on trees--love that first one. If it was A gooseberry I would be out picking them more--from the plant of course. Marble--On!! Marble--On!!
-
I love it my friend, Thanks for sharing it. No bad marbles!!

Well said Ron, always on the hunt am I. A driving force for sure. Collect--On!! -
Thanks for the reference Nantucketdink. Where do I find one? Marble--On!!
-
I agree on the Vacor, it could be an early Van Gogh. Nice bright colors on this one. Thanks for the correction, I though that it looked like the Parrot that you posted yesterday---it was. Marble--On!!
-
I like the term Dave and I see it too.(my wife collects seashells) Marble--On!!
-
Thanks for the info Dave. I have seen this stuff while out rummaging. Now I know what I am looking at. I really like the glaze and the makers mark is killer. I had always thought that is was more contemporary. Thanks again, I will get me some.

Atmosperes were hand-gathered Chad. I do believe that they were run on rollers after the gathering process. The sizes all add up to that. Atmosperes vary in size because of the process of the gather. Good topic for another day perhaps. I believe what I see, and call them like I see them. This one excites me. Great marble!

Was helping a nice lady ID her marbles and saw this neat cateye

The image of the first one is hard to make out my friend. This one sold earlier this week on ebay, could it be the same maker? https://www.ebay.com/itm/275103000229?hash=item400d6aa6a5:g:JKAAAOSwRJth3HlB Your second one is what I would consider a foriegn made very nice desirable Cat---very nice. I say this because the transparent glass on my PC seems to have a tint to it. At first I though it was a Vitro Cosmic Rainbow---a very cool marble that you have, or may have, there. Marble--On!! -
I am not getting an Akro feel on this one Fire. Maybe MK or Vitro. Not a pelt. Marble--On!!
-
This one may be a Vacor Atmospere, style #48 imho. Marble--On!!
-
I agree, not CAC--a WVS, which I have little knowledge of.

You should be able to find this stuff where you are. In the USA it is called Vaseline or uranium glass. Just take a black light with you when you are out and about---it really--really lights up. I love it in all forms. The marble is an Akro Agate ” Cherry-Aide” at 1”. Glow On—this is my best. -

I know that you like the glow Mojo, so do I. Regardless, it is hard to beat “Cadillac electric time” for glow. That brings back memories of my 2002 Caddy STS, the first car with magnetic ride control. Those Northstar engines were a great thing---never stand still, just jump on it and go, all two tons of it! Glow on!!—more are coming. -
At first I thought that this may be a Veiligglas marble. Now I am thinking that it may be one of those pesky Alley’s, you know, the ones that were often thought of as CAC a few, few years back. You gotta like them!! Tell me what you think---5/8”. Marble—On!!

Not too shabby Chad, top notch ox in that one.
