    3 for ID

    These are from the same maker IMHO Mojo--probably the same run. The marble making process is not accurate from marble to marble. The colors are but the marbles just cut-off and roll differently from the start of a batch/run to the end. The marbles are sorted into many thousands or millions and then packaged. Of course the ones with the blue included are more pleasing to the eye but that is why we sort my friend. The two base colors tell the story for me. Marble--On!!
  2. I do not know which is better, the wood or the marbles--Love them both! Marble--On!!!
  3. Here are three what I consider to be nice pinched pontil marbles, found by yours truly out of various lots. 5/8” or slightly larger. The Amber is older---much older, the Red is probably Japanese (Yasuda?) and the Blue—well I just do not know. Swirls or slag’s? I guess that I would call the Red one a swirl. Check those odd slags and swirls for a pontil —Ya just never know. (I have to use head magnifiers nowadays—I have to up-grade, anyone know a good one?) Any opinions are of course, more than welcomed. Marble—On!!
  4. You have done well Pittsburgh. It is a great collection. My eye keeps going to the lemonade/oxblood plate---it is a great one. Marble--On!!
  5. Let’s just call this one a hair or two over 1”. There are tons of Oxblood and three colors besides. This is the best example that I have of a fully filled Oxblood patch in this size. Not perfect but this is 2021 after all. There is probably enough Ox in this one to make a 5/8” Brick. Marble—On!!!
  6. Let’s stretch this a bit further. The base glass (whitish) looks like Peltier to me. I have not seen this type of seedy glass in a Vitro marble. Tell us what it is not and start from there. Not MK, Not Akro, Not Master, ---- still leaning Vitro for sure because of the green Vitro “only” color. Marble—On!!
  7. This is a tuff one. The green most certainly sings Vitro to me. It would be a stretch for a Parrot, the pink looks like a stretch of the reddish color. Big old “Bulls-eye” maybe? Is there another cutline? Marble—On!!
  8. Not Picky Al, just accurate👌. Marble--On!!
  9. A few hours late is OK with this one---Love it👌. Marble--On!!!
  10. Hello Gladys, Are you sure that image #4 is the same marble as #2 and #3? Marble--On!!
  11. I also have peewee’s on the mind today. I shot these last night, so it must be going around. Hard light goes through them so easily that I do not even know what to call them—cute I guess. A little beat up but who cares? They had to live a long life with the bigger siblings knocking them around. Marble—On!!
  12. Great marbles Andy. "Wicked Owls" are one of my faves. Are Atmospheres in inculded in your book? Marble--On!!
  13. That is one very nice/rare box of game marbles Ron. Thanks for showing it. Marble--On!!
  14. This glow may not make it valuable but it does make it desirable. If I had to choose between this and any other variety of game marbles I will always go with the glow--I love the glow! Show the cutlines/seams in any other marbles that you may post--it is a great help. Size matters as well. Glow--On!!
  15. Many companies world-wide made patch marbles like this one. If I found it in a lot, I would sort it as a Vitro. I could be something else but that is the way that I would sort it. I have read that Vitro sent some different color combo's overseas vs those sold in the US--this could be one. It looks like a nice clean marble non-the less. Marble--On !!!
  16. I would not call this one a Vitro Mojo. If I came across it in a lot of marbles I would call it Asian. It does have a cool streak of oxbloody looking glass in in. A keeper for sure. Marble--On!!
  17. Here are two nice ones. No names or ID from me, I just like them. Opinions are welcome of course. Is there a descriptive name given to the three fingered swirl apparition in the last one? I have seen this in a few different marbles and I wonder what it may be called—if anything. Marble—On!!
  18. Thanks Chad, I would call the base semi-opaque. The stripe looks more like an oxblood than a green. Who knows what it is. I spent a lot of time with it so I will just mark it up as "close but no cigar" but will keep on keepin on👍. Marble--On!!
  19. I agree that yours is very similar to the last image in the OP. I am OK with "a weird rebel variation" for sure. Marble--On!!
  20. Ok Pittsburgh. The last image tells the truth and I will pull my Buttermilk teeth back in😁 Nice Peltier marble for sure!!
  21. I always say no to my dogs when I drop a marble--they are always right on it🦴. 😁Marble--On!!
  22. I would lean towards Akro on this on. I do not see CAC at all. Marble--On!!!
  23. Hi Dave, this is just a reach on my part looking for a reaction. I know that there are clear based Pelts referred to/nicknamed as, Ketchup and Mustard and Dragon, both pretty rare. Why not A Rebel? The three in question have all of the needed colors afterall. Good question, no good response. Just looking to rattle a few windows to get a better ID for the OP. Marble--On!!
