  1. I do not know which is better, the wood or the marbles--Love them both! Marble--On!!!
  2. 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!!
  3. 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!!
  4. 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!!!
  5. 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!!
  6. 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!!
  7. Not Picky Al, just accurate👌. Marble--On!!
  8. A few hours late is OK with this one---Love it👌. Marble--On!!!
  9. Hello Gladys, Are you sure that image #4 is the same marble as #2 and #3? Marble--On!!
  10. 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!!
  11. Great marbles Andy. "Wicked Owls" are one of my faves. Are Atmospheres in inculded in your book? Marble--On!!
  12. That is one very nice/rare box of game marbles Ron. Thanks for showing it. Marble--On!!
  13. 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!!
  14. 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 !!!
  15. 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!!
  16. 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!!
  17. 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!!
  18. 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!!
  19. Ok Pittsburgh. The last image tells the truth and I will pull my Buttermilk teeth back in😁 Nice Peltier marble for sure!!
  20. I always say no to my dogs when I drop a marble--they are always right on it🦴. 😁Marble--On!!
  21. I would lean towards Akro on this on. I do not see CAC at all. Marble--On!!!
  22. 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!!
  23. I would love to see some more images of the third marble that you just posted. Vacor Oxblood!!--new to me!! Marble--On!!
  24. I will always challenge black in any marble. Black is blue, brown, green, purple and a few others. Of course, I appreciate the opinion that you have given---finally, someone stepped up to this ID—lets see some more with some knick-names or company names applied. I still think that the last one is a Vitro Buttermilk. I just call them like I see them. Thanks, and Marble—On!!
