  1. Great word! At least give two shots of each with these slags for sure. (most marbles need at least two) The cutmark along with the nine. Nice marbles!! Marble--On!!
  2. It is another day and I have a new favorite😁. The Akro Box that shows a girl on the cover. I just love this stuff---- Keep them coming all--Great marbles! Marble--On!!
  3. Just pick out your favorite marble/marble related item and post it. I will!😁--a really tuff assignment, I know--just pick your favorite today--still tuff but here goes--- I never met Nadine MacDonald in person. She was the pinnacle of”just being a nice person” that collected marbles. She shared all of her knowledge freely and never with any contempt for those who challenged her. She was a “Marble Jedi” for sure. (She did know her Pelts very well) She also made some hand painted and glazed marbles that should be cherished by all. This one is one inch and I feel blessed just to have it. Marble—On Nadine!!

    JABO?

    I am ready to call the two in the middle Jabo--"Classics". The one on the ends need more images for me at least. Nice marbles! Marble--On!!
  5. I think that you may have an "older" Vacor here--it is pretty cool. @Mojo is my go to here. I am just not getting any WVS thoughts/ideas on this one. All opinions are appreciated---nuff said. Nice images!!! Marble--On!!
  6. You are correct as far as I can tell---a "simple rainbo". Marble--On!!
  7. The "Little" one is a Pelt Rebel--look for AV in the black--I think that I see some. I see no Oxblood included. The larger one is not a Pelt imho----a Vitro--"Buttermilk" is my call here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  8. I agree with "Master Glass". Size always matters-------Maybe a "Master Made" or earlier one. Master Made Marbles just took a pounding this one was someones fave to shoot--just dreaming here, that is why I want the size. Marble--On!!
  9. Pretty cool marble. Not many bubbles involoved either--different. This one is a Peltier "Rainbo". I am not a name expert--but this one looks too dark to be a "Tomato". I have grown many tomatoes in the back yard and the "Black" varieties are my faves. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more--- Marble--On!!
  10. The Nickel Guy sent me some keepers fo sure. Notice the blue/white "Apple" @ 4:00. Two CAC-- really? ---They are Very "minty" marbles as well. The rest are just killer examples--a nickles worth would have done here for sure😁. I just love this stuff! Thanks Fire---and "The Nickle Guy" for sure. Marble--On!!
  11. Well--well --well !!, You never know do you? This is a first for me. I would not call it "Lutz”. It looks like a machine made marble to me. That is about as black as any that I can remember as being called “black” Let’s call in a @cheese for an opinion. Happy Holidays all. Marble—On!!
  12. Bump! This maybe selfish but--- I have some flesh involved in this one😁. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more.🙈. Marble--On!!
  13. Keep us posted Steph--I do Ebay but not the Facebook thing--go where the money is for sure. Just post them here-- https://marbleconnection.com/topic/38521-share-public-marble-auctions-and-sales-listings-here/ Good Luck! Marble--On!!
  14. We sure did--I love this stuff and we are only a few years apart in age--cool stuff. I did send a Nickel--but The Nickel Guy still has a problem with the number five. Thanks Fire--great stuff--great idea. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    Thank you for posting these. Try to focus about a third down from the top. If you have a "Macro" setting--use it on marbles. @Chad G. has given me a lot of tips over the years for taking images as well as--well marbles ID😁. Keep on trying and no pressure--just do your best and accept some tips now and then. @Fire1981 has been pruducing some fine images lately--it does take some practice. I still use a camera (no smart phone----yet🙈), and I take multiple images picking out the very best---deletion is a great thing once you get the hang of it. You do have the cropping part down pretty well. Any and all opionions here are more than welcomed. Marble--On!!
  16. Thanks for this--yes we are a varied group and I also wish the best to all in this Holiday season. Drive safe--do not take images of marbles while driving please. and keep safe. Marble--On!!

    Vitro?

    These images do not give a great idea but I would lean Vitro given the images. Merry Hollidays! Marble--On!!
  18. The second image--the large cutline---Maybe not an Akro but a Vitro imho. Akro was not quite perfect and there are a lot of "dug" marbles out there for sale. This unfinished cutmark points me away from Akro here. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  19. Nice group Melissa! Images 4 and 6 have me wondering though. The last is just very nice---😁. Merry Hollidays to you as well!! Marble--On!!
  20. I want to call it a big "All-Red" but this one is special--- "All-Red"--just a special one--almost "Exotic". Pretty cool find! Marble--On!!
  21. At this point I would call it a "Large Vitro". Size always matters with marbles ID😁. Marble--On!!
