Selling them will be a full time job--for sure. Hire an expert and eat the 30% imho. Now---if you intend on becoming a collector, you are in the right place. The more you look, the more mesmerizing these little orbs become. If you have been overcome by the beauty and decide to keep a few, post three or four at a time for a positive ID. We here do not try to discourage sellers or disregard them but you have quite a few and it looks like you are trying to get top dollar. This place, “The Marble Connection” has been around longer than you can imagine, the very first marble chat board on the web and still going very strong. Marble—On!!

Wow Ric! If that is a Pink Bennie, I would put it under a dome for my wife and call it quits. (she just loves bennies) Marble--On!!

A red hair counts with peewee marbles. Not a peewee! Marble--On!!

I agree--nice call Steph! I agree Carowill--nice eyes! I am not so sure about the "Milky" ID though--it may be an Alley. The rest are WVS imho. More opinions are needed of course. Marble--On!!

Rainbo-I agree--but a nice one! Marble--On!!

Yes, Just Akro Flinties imho. (this type may have been marketed under different names by Akro) I have backlit thousands of solid marbles (almost ever one that I have) just looking for Flinties. Marble--On!!

Surprise--- Surprise, These types were the very first purchase of marbles that I ever made, after buying my first marble book. Years ago and lessons ago for sure (I thought that they may be CAC Guineas’--lol). Soooo--- the first marbles that I ever put money down on were Vacors. I am guessing late 80’s, when times were tuff and money was short. They were in a dusty old barn building and they were covered in detritus. I did not pay much but the education started with these. It took me quite awhile to find out anything about Vacor Marbles, so here we are, in a new age. Marble—On!!

Thanks and welcome back for sure. Marble--On!!

I am pretty sure that the last one is a Jabo--not a contract marble--one from production. The other two need more opinions. Marble--On!!

All that I can say is---Ouch!! Marble--On!!

The hit marks on this one are not consistant with a Jabo imho. Are you sure that it does not fit in with a Pelt made marble? Marble--On!!

X3 with Melissa and Chad. That is a nice looking Jabo from the production runs imho--not a contract marble. Marble--On!!
-
The first one is a Pelt imho--"Red Zebra" More opinions are needed and welcomed here. The second one---is some make of WVS imho. Many more opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

Welcome Sortitallout, The size narrows it down to either an Alley agate, a Vacor or a Jabo--Akro made some big ones--just not here imho. The construction reminds me of Jabo---a weird one but imho a Jabo “Classic” . Nice find! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marb;e—On!!

I have still not had the balls to restore this one. It may be better off just left alone. I am getting the urge to just leave it and be happy with it--a rare thing deserves it. Marble—On!!
