  1. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364542981313 Nice work--maybe too nice! Marble--On!!
  2. This is always hard to argue with--Master patches vs Akro patches. If cheese says Master----hard to argue—Nice images cheese!! I will stick with Akro though--just my humble opinion and I appreciate them all. Marble—On!!
  3. These always fool me--good call Cheese!!! Marble--On!!
  4. Happy Halloween for sure—here are a few “Flinties”. Marble—On!!
  5. If you take out the color and look at the white and blue it is no doubt a Master. I agree with Master--a weird one though. Marble--On!!
  6. Nice Master! Nice images!!!! Marble--On!!
  7. Classic Akro cutlines here--nice find! Marble--On!!
  8. I am stumped too my marble collecting friend--no idea-- Marble--On!!
  9. Regardless of the backwards thing--Good eye Fire!!! There are a few instances of this found--or like finds--different though. Remember when these were made. Sadly, back then, not everyone had a good basic education. I pass by my Fil’s school every once in awhile—it is 1/3 the size of my not too big house—I suppose that I should cut him some slack-------he is pushing 90--. Akro--on!!
  10. This one was meant for you Fire--Love it! Marble--On!!
  11. Nice find Mojo Yes--you can frost your own marbles no doubt---"Frosted Hurricanes” are a rare thing in the good ole USA –these are from across the Atlantic and I know—it could be done—not by this person—he knows his knows. Marble—On!!
  12. I have made two canes out of "Diamond Willow"--no marbles attached. The first was for my mother in law--RIP. My Father in law still uses it when no one is looking. The second one--well it is for me--not yet finished--lol.( I may include a marble now) What a great trip to the out back looking for the right stick, then drying it and doing what had to be done--a great tribute to those that you love. Cane--On!!
  13. Welcome herb watson, Never be afraid to show what you have in an image or two---all of us here were "starters" at one point or another. I would venture to say that most of us here have been "lurkers" at one point or another--willing to look but afraid to ask. I was for sure---it all pays off--no judgement here--just marbles--we all love-em. Marble--On!!
  14. -----almost a jinx Chad----I was ready to hit enter when your notification was shown--so here goes--LOL. Welcome here to The Marble Connection Paulie, If you are not treated with kindness here just let me/us know---we all will fix it quickly. If this 2-1/4" orb has no flat spots to anchor it from rolling--I would consider it a Marble, many times orbs come with stands or flattened spots to keep them from rolling on the floor—I think that this one is meant to stand alone as a nice round object. Many contemporary marble makers make this size. I do not know when a marble or orb becomes an orb vs a marble but yours fits into the marble categories imho. Thanks for checking in and asking, I think that your Bro will appreciate it regardless. If you can decipher the signature--we here may suggest a maker. Marble—On!!
  15. Ohh nooooo----- the white topic!! There are White Pelt Bannanas, White Akro snakes, red White and blue Popeyes, White gamer marbles of all sorts--on and on and on---- White is the most described color of any as far as it comes to collecting marbles. (Is clear a color--LOL) I just love this stuff! Lets cook this one up a bit!! I appreciate all opinions and look forward to them all. Marble--On!!
  16. Always keep in mind that Pelt Bananas’ have a colorless crystal clear base glass, some of the clearest ever made. Marble—On!!
  17. Nice one Fire--the yellow ox patches are a hard find for me. Marble--On!!
  18. There were pink based Jabo--special runs that this one reminds me of--this one is new to me-- More opinions are needed and welcomed. @Nantucketdink may know-- Marble--On!!
  19. One question-WTF is it?? LOL Marble--On!!
  20. Absolutely--if you like it collect it--just hold it in check! Marble--On!!
  21. My opinion as well--lets see what the others think. @Chad G. or many others may have the best opinion here. I appreciate them all and look forward to them. Marble--On!!
  22. It looked bigger to me-- Nice marble! I like it! Marble--On!!
  23. Your words---but --YEP!! Marble--On!!
