    ID please

    X2 nice marble! I wish that I knew where these came from--I was sleeping then. Marble--On!!
  4. The "Fish eye effect" is only seen during backlighting. It is not the little slits that the marble shows. When you backlight a "Moonie or a "Flintie", it will show you what you are looking for-- a "Fisheye". Just roll it around under the backlight and it will show its eye--unreal--really unreal. Jus PM me for one and I will send it--these are under appreciated marbles and over ID'd imho. Marble--On!!
  5. I am just saying that this may be out of order and a way to circumvent the rules here. If I were you, and any one else that is considering this, whoever you may be—regard the rules of TheMarbleConnection and be wary of them. The rules apply to all regardless of the circumstances. This just seems like a bad way to try to go beyond our seller rules. I am not real happy to see it. This is just my humble opinion and it is designed to protect all of us, just as the rules state. Just be safe! Marble—On!!
  6. This is our mantra--all of ours here on "TheMarbleConnection". Nice images--nice marbles! Marble--On!!
  7. You know what? Vacor actually made some candies. Here is a scan from a sales brochure. Marble--On!!
  8. Nothing Chad, let me show you an image of the corner staples, very cool! The cardboard is very old as well as the staples--just no top----Nice marble bruise marks inside. One piece at a time in my world, a top may be in the future, who knows? The box measures aprox 2-5/8" X 3-5/8". As you can see the cardboard has some ruff edges. This is earlier stuff. Some folks make it yet today, mostley paper but it is too time comsuming to fake imho. Thanks for asking, I do not mind sharing a bit. Marble--On!!
  9. In hand, under normal lighting, Flinties appear to be opaque. You have to backlight them to get any real effect. Yours are not Flinties imho but they are nice looking just the same. Yellow Flinties are not nearly so bright--a duller yellow. Marble--On!!
  10. I appreciate what Chad has said. There is no one here willing to take advantage of a newer collector. Make your mark here and take advantage of the rules. This place is just a great place to be! Marble—On!!
  11. My heart goes out to all of you that are sitting alone over this great Holliday weekend. I am sharing a rare find with you all because all of you here are rare finds. You share and give with no expectations of any reward, just sharing. These marbles are as matter of fact—almost all pee wee marbles. I thought that I over bid until I opened the shipment. The box bottom is with them—no top. You are all a rare thing to find! I wish you all well. Marble—On!!
  12. Beautiful marbles!! Where were they made?? Marble--On!!
  13. Thanks Mojo--this one just seems too refined to be an Asian made to me. Marble--On and Merry Christmas to you all!!
  14. You did well my marble collecting friend. It was well worth the effort that you made. I enjoyed it as many did. Thanks and Merry Christmas. Marble--On!!
  15. Check this site out. https://www.marbleauctions.com/ Here is a link to the buy and sell here @TheMarbleConnection. https://marbleconnection.com/forum/32-buy-and-sell/ Have a great Holliday Weekend!! marble--On!!
  16. I see what you mean Fire--this is a tuff one. Maybe @Mojo Has seen some of these across the Atlantic? Marble--On!!
  17. It is a very nice marble do not get me wrong. Hooppety de rah for sure! Marble--On!!
  18. Nice stuff B-rett66! My only thing to say is--stick to marble collecting—you will never make it as a Poet or a Rapper. Thanks to bumblebee--great idea and a nice bunch of mibs as well. Marble--On!!
  19. They call it marble collecting and I am just one of they. I look and I discover--I just do not look and call it as it was. We all do our best here and mistakes by me may trump yours--just sayin. Marble--On!!
  20. Good job Jimbo.59!' The first image--the one on the left is more that likely an Alley Agate swirl. The Christmas Tree I will not blame you for--it does show some green--but green was used as black by many marble makers--this one is a "Rebel"--maybe a crossover--but still a "Rebel" imho. The shooter--- I have seen this color combo in smaller Pelts. This one needs more images of the cutmarks to tell the truth. Of course, I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Merry Christmas and-- Marble--On!!
  21. I agree with Chad --get a few more images. It is more than likely a Pelt and I do not really get any hoop-di-rah other than a nice example of a "Rainbo". Of course size alway matters but I see these as 5/8". These are new times for collectors so maybe a hoop-di-rah is in order. Merry Christmas!! Marble--On!!
  22. Just for kicks, measure the Akro Oxblood patches. For what ever reason these seem to show up as 9/16" rather than 5/8". I know where Chad is going--look hard--Nice looking Chad! Marble--On!!
  23. To all of you--Drive safe and be Happy! Merry Holiday Season to you all! Marble--On!!
