  1. What you have is a very rare and beautiful marble. A WVS, probably an Alley Agate imho. Blue Skies?? I do not think so—maybe a variant. There is some pollution involved that knocks it out of contention. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  2. So------ You have two 5/8" marbles that did not seperate at the cut-off on top of the rollers-they kinda streched together to form one big orb that is usually twice the size--3/4". Or these just dropped funny onto each other--who knows for sure? These double igots will almost always show a line that is between the two that formed them together. Like "Siamese Twins", joined at the hip. ( I do not mean to offend any one here but this is the best that I could come up with--I love all folks, respect them all and never mean to direspect any one) Some times it will be all the way around--the indented line where they joined--which is what the double ingot collectors love to see. Most of the time there will be a connecting fold or line that shows where they were joined with multiple cutlines involved--x2 for sure. I have seen some bigger than 3/4" double ingots--pretty rare imh experiance. These Double ingots are mostly from the digs because they were regarded as something to toss out and out of the norm. Some had to have had to pass through inspecton ( especially on a Friday😁) Just my opinion and I appreciate them all. Marble--On!!
  3. No, but I can be darned to remember the other/others @Al Oregon may help us out here--remembering. Marble--On!!
  4. I agree with all that has been said--this one is a special MCS imho. Nice find--a cross-over between runs? Love it regardless--not too common. Marble--On!!
  5. The blue and white always reminds me of a Champion made marble--I wish that I knew for sure. This type are a great thing to hold and look at--WVS for sure. Marble--On!!
  6. Do not get freaked out by a cutline that looks like a pontil here. I am thinking that this one is an Alley Agate. Marble--On!!
  7. Swamp things are cat eyes that resemble a Vitro "hybrid" in consruction with an almost blue, almost green base glass. They are killer marbles--get some and be rewarded. I agree with Melissa here. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  8. Acme Realor? Size??? I do not see the double here but I do see some opal. Marble--On!!
  9. Vacor "Black Panther" is my call here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble-On!!
  10. I would backlight this one for sure. If it glows around the perimeter and is not transparent red glass--it may be an Akro "Cornelian". Cornelians rarley show this much white--it may be a winner or just a Pelt-.😁. Nice slag what ever it is. Marble--On!!
  11. A lot of companies made this type of marble--orange on white. This one is a vintage WVS imho-it could be an Alley Agate. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  12. Vacor--a "Green Parrot" These are very nice marbles to hold and find as well. These colors just mesh with me. Marble--On!!
  13. Yes it is stone--a beginners attempt at making orbs at home. Nice stone--hand done, no machinery to round it off, he/she will get there if the passion is true.. Nice start though! Marble--On!!
  14. Cool beans --vintage black and white images! I love it! Marble--On!!
  15. Thanks for that Cheese, Am I wrong or are Champion marbles and Jabo marbles cousins of a sort? Marble--On!!
  16. Ok it is a great book--I have had two of them that I traded away because I never used them (one was purchased for a trade)--a big mistake for sure on my part. $195--it is getting close unless I get sniped--🙃. I have it coming though. I will not snipe this aucton--nuff said--all in fun for me. Marble--On!!
  17. In hand is always better--just sayin. Marble--On!!
  18. A Size always matters with marble ID's KateSo. Cutlines matter even more. Your first image shows the side of one cutmark--lets see the other side. I think that you have a Vitro here. Marble--On!!
  19. We here at "TheMarbleConnection" know what you have. It is just a matterr of time before you find the right ID. I will alway give an opinion to any marble that has no reponses, no matter of the final outcome. I have been wrong many times--live and learn😁. @Ric is my go to with Vitro ID. He may just chime in here. Marble--On!!
  20. LOL Tommy--I do not keep track of were our members are from very well. Yours here does not show brown. The red is stretched over the white to make it look yellow or brown. It is simply, a very nice Alley agate swirl--no names from me. As for the second one from VAmarbles? Natural sunlight is the key to many ID's Marble--On!!
  21. Notice the little white hit-marks on this marble. Jabo marbles would get these after they were bagged or marketed just from getting knocked around a bit during shipping This one looks like a later Champion to me for some reason. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  22. I think that we all like it too Tommy. Get brave, go outside and take a few images in natural sunlight---brrrr🥶. Marble--On!!
  23. Killer marble Chad. Marble--On!!
  24. X3--nice marble!! Marble--On!!
