  1. I will not swallow paper weights on these. One I may agree--but four? Marble--On!!
  2. Actually--imho--yours looks more like a CAC than the last images--nice find. These bigger ones are rare--very nice! Marble--On!!
  3. This one is just over 9/16”. At first I thought that it may be a Jabo. The slight damage to it and the very “feel” of it makes me think WVS. Hard glass, nice deep colors—especially the white—could it be a Ravenswood? It is a very nice looking marble non-the less. You all know that I just suck at WVS ID’s—I think that I have a special one here. Go ahead and “make my day”---or not🤪—I would be surprised to see this ID’d as a Jabo—but we are all here to learn and I accept it whatever the outcome may be. I accept all opinions and look forward to them all. Marble—On!!
  4. I aways wanted to build one of these marble machines--then I rediscovered Lego and was hooked. Maybe this winter when the shadows are long, some thing to do while sitting in the sun soaking it up. Marble--On!!
  5. Weak cubscout on the first two, the third one is a newer model imho--no name from me, the fourth one is just one of those Mk'S. Marble--On!!
  6. Hmmm, maybe a wooden claw foot table that rotted out? Marble--On!!
  7. Think again my friend--we all suffer from this disease. A good deal is always hard to pass on and many of us are involved with bad ones—me included. Live and learn—always. Happy anniversary!! Marble—On!!
  8. Having a "blast" is what we are all about here at The Marble Conection. I feel that your son and granddaughter are safe here and look forward to some images of what you have collected with them. Welcome B-rett66, your son and granddaughter as well. Marble--On!!

    OK--great info boris--I will double up on my assessment and wait for further opinions as well. Marble—On!!
  10. Nice find B-rett66. I have seen similar marbles encased in a cast iron claw that was a leg for a table. Usually these are transparent with no design inside like yours. I have seen pictures of sulphide marbles used in the same manner. It is hard to believe that someone got these out of a cast iron claw foot without damaging them. Check the marbles for any wear that may invole them being encased in a cast iron claw. These may have been used for something else that I am not aware of. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  11. I believe that you are talking about the green,white and dark red one boris. Imho you have it in the right spot. Of course more opinions are needed here. Size may help. Marble--On!!

    Nice marble boris64! It appears to have two melted pontils and the size I would guess at around an inch. Navarre, Leighton, Grenier ?? More opinions are needed on this rare example. I responded before I read your first post regarding this marble. I do not think it is "Bulgarian" for what it's worth. Marble--On!!
  13. Good afternoon to you as well and welcome. Thanks for sharing your find. It is a rare and very cool thing to have if you are a marble collector or a Cracker Jack collector. Like I said--very cool. Marble--On!!
  14. I lke em all if they have lots of touch marks--even better. Marble--On!!
  15. I Agree Steph, Marble--On!!
  16. Ohh--this one is a clear based Pelt imho. Nice marble regardless of the ID. I appreciate all opinions and look to see some more. Marble--On!!
  17. I also have some from my Grandpa--via my mother. Welcome here my marble ID looking friend "brently". I agree with Steph--more images are needed. I know that is a hard ID--but here goes. You have two possible Akro Agate "corkscrews" and an Akro "Filintie as well. None of them would be considered as high value imho. Maybe $20 all together—not worth the sell. These are very nice to have and a great thing to keep from Grandpa, I am sure that he loved and revered them. Marble--On!!
  18. When these "Butter Milks" get bigger in size they seem to swirl out of order. The one in the images is over 3/4"--closer to 7/8" as I recall. Just a heads up for you. Marble--On!!
  19. I agree with all of the above. The yellow in these is as intense as opaque yellow gets in marbles as far as I am concerned. Just an observation. Marble--On!!

    Akro?

    I agree Melissa. This is the thing with Akro vs Master Patches like this. I would lean Master on the left one. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
