  1. Peltier--no names from me--just very nice! Marble--On!!
  2. Many Vitro will show a Vitro "V"--just another form of a "butt-crack". Jabo purchased a number of companies including Vitro and the machines that were used by them. The similarity may have some impact on the final product, bear this in mind and check them all. Jabo is usually considered as a softer glass showing little white hit marks vs the other types of damage more noticeable in older marbles as chips or moons. Some moons on the older marbles will show a center that is intact and the surrounding glass explodes outwards forming an intact middle and an explosion of glass that busted out due to the impact. Glass is in fact able to be considered as a solid and a liquid. It can take an impact and actually rebound as if a liquid—to a point. I am old enough to remember the glass panes in a window being thicker at the bottom than at the top—gravity for sure. If you were to live for the next hundred years or so and you never moved your collection, some of them would be out of round—gravity. Marble—On!!
  3. Nice marbles for sure! I just love a good Akro Patch type. Marble--On!!
  4. Thumbs up for sure William. Marble--On!!
  5. You are right on--good job! Marble--On!!
  6. This dude/dudette was buying bats for supper in a Chinese marketplace and he caught Covid--the Police held him--Yes?🐼.
  7. You are right on. These things are beautifully simple, I just love these little brushed patches. The white on green are not too shabby either. Go with your gut feeling and second guess in a few more years. Marble—On!!

    Pelt?

    I agree--nice images! Marble--On!!
  10. I believe that the yellow/white one is an Akro swirl (yep—Akro made swirls). They have many names and have shown up in a variety of packaging from “Visi-Paks” to Popeye boxes and quite a few in between. I have always thought of them as “Imperials”( I am not really a name guy) just another named box that you may find them in. Nice find—this type will also show up with a UV base glass. Marble—On!!
  11. These three are WVS imho. More images of the different sides may help in any ID. I will call the top one an------I need more images (akro) Marble--On!!
  12. I agree and I think that Melissa backed off in a good fashion. These can be found yet at a local rummage sale--imho. Marble--On!!
  13. I like your list Melissa, If I had a Guinea I would send it to you. To me these are just a great trade or sell to get more corkscrews and I have done plenty. I am sure that you will find one--they are not as rare as many think. There are plenty of "goldfish nets" on the Ebay. Marble--On!!
  14. I agree it is a very good example of a Heaton Oxblood. I would start at $30 on the Ebay and wait for the bidding to go to the end--this is a very-very nice one! The rest--uck--put them in a group and list them at $10 or best offer. Marble--On!!
  15. I better go through my near mints again---- Marble--On!! Good job !
  16. I have not posted this one in a bit. It was missing for a few weeks--my wife found it in the washing machine--at least it is clean😁 I was 7/8"🙃. Marble--On!!
  17. All Pelt attributes for sure--I hope that it comes home and we can see some more. It looks like the furnace was on it's last legs making this one--maybe why it is such a rare one. Marble--On!!
  18. The Batman has him by the throat----Yes? LOL
  19. He is a bank teller--yes?
  20. I think that it is a nice Rainbo Fire. Marble--On!!
