  1. Spam with peanut butter--maybe---
  2. I agree with Vitro--nice marble!! Marble--On!!
  3. The books are what they are--they are a good start for sure. Hero’s shown in the books and Unique’s as well are a very rare thing to find individually, let alone in a box full. I will stand by my assessment of "Unique’s" in the more generally found ones. Akro changed up many ID’s of the marbles that they sold—these that I show are more common—yet rare in the box form. I appreciate all comments and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  4. I wish that I could find this one--- I just figured it to be a weird "Zebra". Marble--On!!
  5. We all appreciate you and your asking for help--keep them coming! Marble--On!!
  6. Imho--the op is a Jabo--classic. I am just sayin-- Marble--On!!
  7. While my wife was pregnant with our first boy we went to a not so local restaurant for our anniversary. She ordered a seafood platter—surprise---one item on the platter had bones involved, like chicken bones. They turned out to be “Frog Legs”. They grossed her out—I munched them up—lol. Frog legs --on!!

    Akro?

    Ummm?---It is not an Akro--I agree for sure. This one needs some more opinions for sure. Regardless of the maker--it is a "top notch" marble. I will throw Pelt into the mix here. @Chad G. or @cheese will tell the tale for sure. Marble--On!!
  9. Akro Corkscrew! It may be a lazy one but I would put it with my corks for sure. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  10. There have been a few boxes of "Uniques" for sale lately on eBay. Have a look! I think that these are the real thing. Marble-On!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/386856144841 https://www.ebay.com/itm/386856146019 https://www.ebay.com/itm/364785638848 Here are mine. These are not sorted, there may be a few Vitro included. I am waiting to find a busted up box to put them in.
  11. It is a "Blue Boy". Marble--On!!
  12. This one is an Asian Catseye imho. Marble--On!!
  13. These are MK St Mary’s yellow and white cross trough marbles. They may not be as rare to find as you may think. Choose good lighting and LOOK! Browsing will get you nowhere—look—look—look! We all collect marbles—not Bowling Balls—your eyes always need some help. These came from a “Cereal box addition” of a sleeve of marbles. The plastic stuff (cellophane) just fell apart revealing these. I was beyond happy to find them but I had to look very closely. I have sent one of these in three different trades and no one has picked them up—the forth is coming—lol. I hope that this will help you all out. Marble—On!!
  14. It is a nice one--Vitros of this type have always caught my eye. Marble--On!!
  15. Akro X2-- Marble--On!!
  16. I do not see Jabo here--WVS-- More opinions are needed for sure. Marble--On!!
  17. They may well be Akro--but-- they would have never made it to a sales type marble imho. I think that you have some from the "digs" here. Just my humble opinion--- Marble--On!!
  18. MK--All the way--nice one! Marble--On!!
  19. Here we go on the Vacor Atmospheres train again. I believe with 75% that this one is a Vacor Atmosphere. It shows what I like to find in any Atmo—buried color below the nice clear matrix, a few wandering bubbles with some junk included and of course the hand gathered signs that will always show up, they are always quite round as if rounded on rollers—colder rollers of course. The Atmos that I have been involved with always have a very “well cooked” clear matrix. I will never go beyond this 75% finding them alone because there are so many of this kind being made today and in the past as well. This one is 25MM or one inch thereabouts. Atmos vary in size plus or minus because they were hand gathered. Finding any Lutz in an Atmo is a big bonus. They are rare, even in the bigger bonus sizes. I am wondering if anyone has any “Lutz” Atmospheres to share with a good set of images. I have two now—red/white/lutz and this killer that I am showing. You will not talk me out of this one being an Atmosphere—I leave the 25% for my mind alone. I appreciate all opinions and welcome them all. Marble—On!!
  20. I agree--nice job Melissa! Still--a very nice one! Marble--On!!
