  1. There were many from the Jabo "Contract Runs" that need to be backlit or imaged under heavy light. This may be one of them imho. When purchasing these online--always notice the back ground in the image--if it is too bright to tell what the background is--back off. Just my opinion but I have been there and done this. Marble--On!!
  2. I have Heaton vibes here but I am flying by the seat of my pants-literally. I saw the Urologist today. Marble--On!!
  3. Even better than a "Helmet" imho is a Vitro "Aqua Marine". I think that you may have one here. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  4. The image in the book page shows what I would consider as a Vito "Conqueror" with a nice "V" for Vitro--pretty cool. Yours, I would consider as a WVS--maybe a "Champion" made. ( I do like the fine line of black in this one ). There are folks that collect "alphabet marbles" from A-Z and most of the "V's out there are from Vitro. This is a nice one that stands out from the rest of most "V's". Marble--On!!
  5. Consider Jabo here--a "Jabo Classic"--just sayin😁. Nice one! Marble--On!!
  6. I agree with "Parrot" here. Nice find. The more white the less desirable to collectors of these. This one carries some damage, so do not expect top dollar. A nice one for a newer collector though--or some one that could not afford a mint one. Nice marble regardless. Marble--On!!
  7. Nice find! Marble--On!!
  8. I think that it is, a weak one though. MFC all day long--Nice antique machine made. Marble--On!!
  9. A CAC "Striped Opaque" here imho. A very nice marble, but it should be in it's own thread as far as I am concerned. Marble--On!!
  10. I have not seen many Red Latticinios--very cool!! Nice share! Marble--On!!
  11. You are right on, Clay's seem cold to the touch vs glass marbles but so do the Polymers imho. I have not weighed them one vs the other but--I would think that clays are heavier. Yours appear to have a fingermark or indentation from the hand-rolling process, the Polymer makers that I know of are much more refined than this. I will settle on clay on these two--who knows really? @akronmarbles may have an ID and I will defer to him here. Brian is a collector of the Clays from the USA--he knows way more than I do regarding these. Marble--On!!
  12. The Medical care in the USA is suffering since the Covid thing, I appreciate you all sharing your concerns here. I thought that I had it bad here in Wisconsin but things are looking up👍. Wait until you are on Medicare--the treatment--well--it is not the same as before. I actually have to ask to have my Prostate checked--Whatttt??? I want a Doctor or a PA--not a nurse practitioner--just sayin. Marble--On!!
  13. Yep--a "Jabo Classic" or one made for general sales from the Jabo company made for world wide sales. A little "bland" but in great shape. Nice marble! Marble--On!!
  14. I have had one close to this and I always, after much research, went back to Vacor as the maker. It could be a Champion--size is always important with Marble ID--mine was around 7/8". Marble--On!!
  15. These are very cool, I would call them Clay for some reason. They may be Polymer though. I have never seen one of these let alone two of them. Get a proper ID and get a better value for them. I have no Idea. A very nice share! Marble--On!!
  16. No --just a very nice Akro Slag imho. Marble--On!!
  17. An Akro purple slag--a nice one here as well. Marble --On!!
  18. X3 Akro--a nice one!! Marble--On!!
  19. Nice Akro-- Marble--On!!
