  1. Ya never know do ya--Nice find!! Marble--On!!
  2. Nice images--Nice Jabo"classic"---one from the factory-not the "special runs". Marble--On!!
  3. This one is an Akro Patch imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  4. Well William--these images look pretty nice on a large screen PC imho-- The bad news is that this is a common WVS imho. Marble--On!!
  5. I am on the same limb Alan-- a weird one but a good catch and ID by you----great job--great eye. I think that this one is a crossover between a vacor "Zebra" and someting else that included some sparkle. This one was missed during quality control. A very rare Vacor imho. No name from me--- Marble--On!!
  6. Lets get this straight--"Imperial" did not make marbles---they were/are a jobber out of California--they did sell marbles for sure but they purchased them--repackaged them and sold them. Most are from Asian countries--a whole bunch of them--some may be from Mexico. Check out some Imps on e-bay and check the country of origin on the box. The Imperial name is one that has been used for many years—just not real though—just a re-seller. Marble—On!! I agree with Al here for sure-- Marble--On!!
  7. I get what Chad says here but many folks collect these screen printed logo types. It is not a bad thing to collect--just do not over pay is what Chad is saying here I am sure. I am forced not to get into these because the sky is the limit.....I like them for some reason--just holding back--a collectors demise for sure. Nice finds my marble collecting friend--collect what you like for sure. This type has been collected for many years--here is my best ever--- Marble--On!!
  8. I agree with Melissa here--the "master" looks more English than WV for sure. The "angry bird" is no doubt a name that you made up considering such (it does ring some Vitro bells for me at least). You should post that it is your name for this one. Marble--On!!
  9. Oooops!!!! I have to read more and judge less--Thanks Shamrock!! Good stuff for sure. Marble-On!!
  10. It is a Pelt imho--pretty weird. The money is up to the bidders--keep us posted Fire. Marble-On!!
  11. I will echo that statement for sure. Discussion is a great thing--lets keep it going here. Nice new images for sure. I think that it may be a Pelt--------------the op brown/white one----Woodie??? Marble--On!!
  12. The one that you show here is a Vitro "Conqueror" a nice marble but really quite common. Marble--On!!
  13. Not much I am afraid Catseyes are collectable-just not high dollar. Check out "Stephs study hall" to get a better Idea of what to post. https://marbleconnection.com/forum/20-stephs-study-hall/ Marble--On!!
  14. The black and white one I have not seen before--it reminds me of a "carpet ball". Oops, I take that back, there is one in "Everett Grist's Big Book of Marbles" He called them "Painted Chinas". The left and the right hand ones are called "Lined Chinas" or---"Painted Chinas" as is the flowery looking one. These were all hand painted--probably from Germany. Yes, the more fancy the more valuable—rarity is always a thing though—the black and white seems rare to me. You need some more opinions for sure. @bumblebee may have some insight here. Marble--On!!
  15. I am with Melissa here. Nice marbles for sure in the OP--no MK imho. Marble--On!!
  16. Wicked is right on Fire--very cooooool! I noticed this one while looking at your post--- The "Superman" on the left under similar items. https://www.ebay.com/itm/135402363473?itmmeta=01JDZEP6Y84JQFVE5BP85R7NQ3&hash=item1f869c1a51:g:XEsAAOSwEK1nRbyv Is this one maybe a Scott Patrick?? Marble--On!!
  17. oh yes--these have fooled me before--nice marbles! These below blew me away. Marble--On!!
  18. It is a nice looker--but common in my opinion. Not a Jabo production run--earlier. Given your measurement I would call it 9/16". WVS of some make or model imho. Marble--On!!
  19. This is more than likely a Vitro "Tri-lite" or a "Tiger Eye". Vitro made some very fine marbles and they should never be underestimated imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  20. The best helmets have the ears covered with the stripe down the middle or top of the helmet. I would consider all three "almost or close to Helmets" with the yellow based one as the best given the images. The one one the bottom left-who knows? Marble--On!! Here are some classic helmets in and on a vitro "Jewel Tray".
  21. Caramels?---killer marbles Melissa. Image #3-- are you sure? What is it called? (I am thinking Pelt here) Marble--On!!
  22. Happy weekend to all. What a rush--Thanksgiving. I made another "Spatchcocked Turkey" along with the fixins--then fell asleep--I should eat more Turkey--I slept quite well last night. Marble--On!!
  23. What age Melissa? Back in the 70's 80's these were some of the first marbles that I ever purchased ( I thought that they were "Guineas"). They were in the back shed (very dusty and old) of a farm sale. Regardless, this one is a good example--very nice indeed. Marble--On!!
  24. Weird it is-- Marble--On!!
