Fires wife contacted me about some bad/sad news. Fire died as a result of some injuries that he received while on the Ice rink. He was a good marble buddy of mine. Yes, he may have raised some ire here and there over the years but—he was always very passionate about marble collecting. I always appreciated that in him. Fire was a “Fire Jumper” in his earlier years. Funny how that went from jumping out of planes to fight fires to becoming a Zamboni driver for the Colorado Eagles. I will miss his wit and wisdom along with his attempts at becoming more amicable in the marble collecting community. My thoughts are with his wife and daughter—and his chickens-lol.

No Jabo here imho. A nice WVS for sure. It could be an Alley Agate or another--maybe a Ravenswood? Marble--On!!

I love the "Coral" color in this type. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Nice Alley "Flame". Marble--On!!

Nice marble!! Marble--On!!

I would call it a swirl, probably a dug marble from WV. Makers would include Alley Agate and Ravenswood---amongst others of course. Nice find! Marble--On!!

It is a common Cats eye---Millions were made and passed-on by collectors. Research "Cross Through Cat-eye Marbles" and find them--good luck sorting through the hundreds of cats that you may find. I always loved doing this--especially in these cold winter months. Have fun and Marble—On!!

X3-- Marble--On!!

I may be wrong here, but as I recall, Akro named more of their marbles than anyone else. ( Except for Vacor, which is a great marketing trick no doubt) The company names seem to stick quite well for me. The rest--well, they are collectors names that we all know and love Marble—On!!

X3, I would sort this one as a slag. No maker is evident to me. Marble--On!!

The left one is a corkscrew imho. Nice finds! Marble--On!!
