  1. Flicker vs Flame--nope--a swirl--but a nice one. Marble--On!!
  2. 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!!
  3. 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!!
  4. 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!!
  5. 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!!
  6. Hmmm, I would sort it as a Vitro Agate--no name though. Marble--On!!
  7. Me too--nice find. Marble--On!!
  8. X2--nice ID! Marble--On!!
  9. Well, Ravenswood was my first thought--but I just suck a WVS ID🤪. Marble--On!!
  10. 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!!
  12. 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!!
  13. Just a great marble! You should make a book with the images that you share--title it "Nice Marble images". Marble--On!!
  14. Think? They are both very nice Akro Oxbloods imho. I appreciate all opionions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  15. Nice! It sure looks like a pelt to me. A great share here. Marble--On!!
  16. 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!!
  17. Lets call in @hdesousa for an opinion here. I just love this stuff. Marble--On!!
  18. Soooo---- your phone does the talking here? Just kidding, I know what you mean. Nice group! They are all Akro as far as I can tell. Marble--On!!
  19. Yes, there are but not here at TheMarbleConnection. Rudeness is discouraged, now saying that there are many higher educated folks that post here and the speak is different than the talk that you and I may be used to. Just deal with it and become more accustomed to the different folks that post here. There are high dollar and low dollar collectors here and all are welcomed as are the opinions that they give. I enjoy them all—unless rudeness is determined by the moderators here. We are all here to connect with marbles and some of us older farts may get a bit cranky from time to time. I am cranky today, but I edit my posts in a word processor before I post most of them—the trouble is this new AI thing always wants me to talk a different way—I refuse—I like my talk. Marble—On!
  20. Nope--not me. I am no longer on the hunt--well unless one shows up that I really like😁.\ Marble--On!!
  21. Good hunt! Way back when, when I sold marbles--just a few hundred or so. I would start them low and let the bidders fight it out. Today, I trade them or keep them and I am not "Married" to many of them. I always did well but I alway represented what I sold very well. Just a tip. Marble--On!!
  22. X4--nice find! Marble--On!!
  23. Weird for sure. Thre different white colors? Including opal white? I think that this one is a Peltier Rainbo waiting to be put on the top shelf🙃. Marble--On!!
  24. Imperial x3. Marble--On!!
