  1. These came in 100 count boxes listed or named as "Prize Name", different colors and different rows--some times two rows of the same color. Not quite a white base with this type--just special. I am not ready to call it a "blood and bones" but it sure as heck was probably from the same origin. Marble--On!!
  2. "Tracer" is a Peltier trait named by Gino Biffany. An older marble collector(rip) that was a Telephone technician (yep telephones like those that hang on the wall with cords attached). He named these after the little white lines that that some colors had on the wires that he worked with everyday. He was and still is one of the greatest Peltier collectors known. Never associate the name tracers with anything but Peltier "Tracers". Respect! Marble--On!!
  3. It is a Vitro--just a vitro--- Marble--On!!
  4. You know what Ric? It may just be a Jabo classic--lets call in @Nantucketdink for an opinion here. marble--On!!
  5. Agreed--hard to ID this one is-(now I am speaking like Yoda) Not quite a Yoda am I. Marble--On!!
  6. Jabo (Jaybo)--Classic. One made for general distribution by the company for world wide sales. Marble--On!!
  7. X3--nice find! Marble--On!!
  8. Flicker vs Flame--nope--a swirl--but a nice one. Marble--On!!
  9. These are pretty common but hard to put down without looking at two or three times. A collection of these will light up any room. A very nice marble! Great images! Marble--On!!
  10. I get what @Fire1981 is saying here but I would lean towards an opinion from @Mojo--it may be from across the Atlantic ocean. Marble--On!!
  11. I agree with Pelt Rainbo but I have a story for marbles like these so just put up with my rambling please. A younger girl/boy was into shooting marbles, he/she kept them in an old tin coffee can in the chicken coop—then he/she found out about other things and there they sat for quite a few years until discovered by some nut that collected them. This one was probably on the bottom collecting a drip or two from the leaking roof, never to see chickens again. The chickens are gone but I bet that he/she wonders what ever happened to the marbles. Yep—I am a bit crazy—but fun as well, I hope. Marble—On!!
  12. Yes, it is the most common color combo--very hard to ID except by the masters in WVS ID---I am not one of them. Marble--On!!
  13. Hmmm, I would sort it as a Vitro Agate--no name though. Marble--On!!
  14. Me too--nice find. Marble--On!!
  15. X2--nice ID! Marble--On!!
  16. Well, Ravenswood was my first thought--but I just suck a WVS ID🤪. Marble--On!!
  17. I have seen enough Akro to call this one--an Akro. The colors of these patches vary so much from box to box that anything is possible. It is kinda of a dinky one. @Ric is right on with some of the newer discovories posted here at TheMarbleConnection in the last year or so. Of course, I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    The images are off the chart--good job!! Great marble! Marble--On!!
  19. Mexico, Many Asian countries--England--this may be a Master, made in the good ole USA--the clearity of the base glass is a good hint for me. When we look at these blown up images we have to consider that this one is coming in at a normal player size. Consider it in hand. Marble--On!!
  20. Just a great marble! You should make a book with the images that you share--title it "Nice Marble images". Marble--On!!
  21. Think? They are both very nice Akro Oxbloods imho. I appreciate all opionions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  22. Nice! It sure looks like a pelt to me. A great share here. Marble--On!!
  23. You have been on it for quite some time and I respect that my marble collecting friend. Keep on keepin on--I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
  24. Lets call in @hdesousa for an opinion here. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
