  1. I am not a big fan of AI but the ID does help here with your images. This one is a WVS probably an Alley Agate. The colors are right on. It has at the very least been buffed up a bit imho. @Alan can clear this up for us. I can see some after buffing compound in the lower areas. Alan knows his "fixed marbles". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  2. These are both a great size but somewhat boring imho. I would sort them as Vitro a much later model. There is just not much eye appeal here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  3. It looks like one too. Once again--great images. Notice in your images the little hit marks. This one was not played-with and the hit marks came from either dropping into the annealing section--or packaging. This is a very nice Jabo Classic imho. These are very tender. Marble—On!!
  4. I just wish that I had one to show--nuff said. Nice marbles----the "Berry Pinks". Any history on these would be appreciated by all here on the board. Marble--On!!
  5. I think that you may be right here. It is not what I thought it might be. Although it does appear to have a vintage WVS look to it--it would be rare to have such coverage with the AV. Marble---On!!

    Modern?

    The left one may be a Giraffe? Marble--On!!
  7. Rainbo X3 Just catching up here Marble--On!!
  8. These are WVS more than likely Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
  9. Me too--awwwwhh-marble buddies--I love it. Maybe Alan does not love it so much--- "Fellow Collectors" fits even better. There are a whole bunch of newer ones and fewer and fewer of the older ones---marble collectors. @Alan does well, and I do know that he holds back on you less experience collectors. Respect Alan as you should all of the older collectors here and be rewarded with a whole lot of past knowledge. Marble--On!!
  10. This is a tuff thing to do, explain Handmades to a new collector. The handmades shown, as far as I am concerned, are all nice examples--just not quite round which is a thing with collectors of this type. I will have to step out here on this conversation because--well, I collect machine mades and a few handmades. When I started collecting, all handmades were out of my league. Lets keep this conversation going and lets keep it nice. I just love this stuff. The sharing of long lost info compared to the new opinions that are "out there" on the web. Marble--On!!
  11. This is a hard one--it appears to be a veneered type. Dug MK/Vitro is my call. All opinions are appreciated Marble—On!!
  12. This one is a german--nuf said. Marble--On!!
  13. This one is a Vacor imho. Marble--On!!
  14. Yes, a Popeye, but a weak one imho. Glass colors do not mix together--at least in my humble experience. I would love to see it in hand--oh well. This is just my opinion below. Black in glass was either made from blue, purple, green or brown (maybe a few others were involved). There were a few Black recipes but they are very rare. This one looks like it got too hot and the blue was burned. Call it a burned blue and yellow Popeye. I always appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more Marble--On!!
  15. @Nantucketdink will have a better opinion of these than the rest of us imho. I agree with the assumption of Jabo classics--but these may have been a "Special Run". You have to list the size here. ( they look like 5/8" to me) Marble--On!!
  16. This is another one of those Pesky Imperials that we are all growing to love. This is a nice one! Another version though. Thanks for showing it. Marble--On!!
  17. I would call this one a Marble King--just me, and I always appreciate more opinions Great find!! I can tell that you are looking very closely. Marble--On!!
  18. Wow, still a nice post that you bought back to life Tommy. Oxblood is not a thing--it is a passion. Here are some that I have.
  19. Thanks for your efforts here. Out of respect for your efforts, I did my own cropping and I added a bit of light as well. I would love to see some more of the bottom right in the bottom image. Nice bright clear images--cropped well. Marble--On!!

    Shot type

    Shot type is not a good header--Clays, along with a size id would be much better. Any lead or steel type shot would be able to be recognized by the weight of the marble/orb in hand. These are simple clays that are very hard to ID as far as the maker or where they came from. I like them and over the years I have found these in "Lot's" of marbles". Nothing goes to waist in my house--my wife loves them as do many folks for a "Decorator item"--many kept in a small glass jar mixed with some other does make a great display. Marble--On!!
  21. Well you never heard this from me before--but those are not Akro colors (ya never know do ya). The construction of the one gets my vote for Vitro. Marble--On!!
  22. X2-- Marble--On!!
