  1. I read both boxes as legit--hardly touched—close to mint and missing a few that may have been backfilled with others—just a few. The dividers look legit to me because of the bruising (little rub marks from the marbles back and forth action) that I have experienced with boxes in the past. The dividers also show as almost mint with some of the original hairs from being cut visible. If these were only from the good old USA I would jump on them. I would not even think about a purchase. Just because of the origin. I do gamble with ‘marble purchases’—all of the time—not these two sadly. This is my humble opinion. Marble—On!!
  2. Hey Joe2, A nice response for sure and I appreciate it without a doubt. This is just for the education of the uninformed that may read this. The term used by collectors as “single seam” is a misnomer. These single seams are more often than not described as CAC “single seam marbles”. They may be called “Diaper Folds”as well. All glass marbles will have two cutoff points; they have to have two if you do any research into the production of these very desirable little orbs. A glob of glass has to be cutoff at two points—this is just the way. The only exception may be torch made marbles—only because I am not very familiar with this method. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  3. I do not think that it a Jabo--a WVS of some make. Maybe some one else will chime in here. Marble--On!!
  4. Cool fold for sure! Jabo sounds right. Marble--On!!

    Oxblood?

    Size always matters in marbles ID. My first reaction was a messed up Imperial Cateye. After I blew it up on my photo editor it looks like it may be a poorly made torch made marble. It could even be a "Bulagarian". Size matters in all of these ID's. I did not see any oxblood. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  6. I agree with Tommy for sure. To get a proper ID give us two or three shots of 3-4 marbles. You have a nice mix there. Marble--On!!
  7. Great marbles MarbleDavid! When a slag type has more than one color it is more than likely what we call a Striped Transparent from CAC. A collectors term as far as I know. Pretty rare vs the single color CAC slags. Marble--On!!

    Id help

    I am just guessing at the size but if that is a candlestick holder that it is resting on--pretty big imho. Jabo imho. Marble--On!!
  9. This one looks like a Master "Brushed Patch" to me Joe2---nice one! It is a corkscrew Joe2 made by Akro Agate. Marble--On!!
  10. Yes, the vaseline colored one is familiar to me, they glow like a full moon. Akro imho. The clear one that glows still stumps me. Marble--On!!
  11. Nice group! Those turquoise ones are very nice! Thanks for sharing them. Marble--On!!
  12. This is a hard one. White swirls and white slags can be hard to get a good image of--even harder to try to get a better idea of with my image editor. This is a guess--oooopps no idea from me. I do like the glow but I have not seen an akro white slag with any glow to it. Swirl??--I think that it is a slag--nuf said. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  13. Both sides or both seams can help in any ID for sure. The one that I will question is the middle row on the left—the blue and white. It reminds me of a Master Glass marble from WV. The one to the lower right—brown and white also may be from the USA. It is very hard to tell with the one image. The rest I can agree are foreign. I appreciate all opinions and look forward to some more. Marble—On!!
  14. This is the thing Al, I love researching pouches, you love the bags full of marbles and others like other things but we all seem to connect in a common pursuit. I just love this stuff! Marble--On!!
  15. Interesting stuff for sure shiroaiko. My wife collects seashells even though we are land-locked in Wisconsin. She just loves them and will be happy to hear what you have provided here. Your images and research are a great thing to share here amongst the community of collectors and I for one cannot wait to see and hear some more of what you have to offer in the future. As always--- Marble—On!!
  16. Possible Akro---- Marble--On!!
  17. Compare it to images on the web of Ravenswood "Blue Ravens". I pretty much suck at WVS ID--it may be one though. Nice marble!!
  18. Slag for sure--probably an Akro. Marble--On!!
  19. Well, Akro or MFC right? Akro made more than MFC--hard to tell for sure. Marble--On!!
  20. Nice marble Fire! I would lean towards Alley Agate here--not too sure though. Marble--On!!
  21. Is there blue invloved? Marble--On!!
  22. It just means--keep collecting and enjoying the cute little orbs that we all enjoy so much😁. Sooo---Marble--On!!
  23. Here is another rare one Al. Just an image that I had saved from somewhere? Have you ever seen one like it? Marble--On!!
  24. Nice find for sure. Those green/white ones and the light blue/white one deserve a seperate post for sure. Clean them up and give us a few images of them. Nice stuff! Marble--On!!
