  1. 1/2 Calligraphy -1/2 swirl. Imho---- A mild Calligraphy is better than a full on flame imho—who cares really? It is a great find. Marble—On!!
  2. Christmas and Veterans---- Merry Christmas to you all this next week or so. Let’s dedicate some of our best marbles and images to the Veterans that made this year a possibility for us all. This is a simple Akro corkscrew in olive drab and white. These often show some flakes of AV—really just flakes in green that were not mixed well in the batch glass—but I will call it AV because it is so rare in Akro marbles. Rarer still, is my Grandfather on the right with his two brothers who fought in WW1. Salute!! Marble—On!!
  3. Pre 1933 or so--the "CAC Guineas" were produced--who would have thought back then?? I am glad that they (CAC) made enough to be reproduced in todays world. Still--a nice share Roberto. Marble--On!!
  4. I submit my attraction to Master Glass Cat's-Eye. Some of the worst/ugliest ever made. I am not ashamed at all, I love anything round for some reason--- I always loved an underdog. I urge anyone to buy a bag of these--for cheap--just because you may find a very nice one included. One of these follows below. Marble--On!!
  5. They are all very nice marbles but image #5 just blows me away--. Thanks for sharing these hard to find in the USA marbles here Mojo. Marble--On!!
  6. I love it--either you are full of shit or you by-passed Chad. This is some great stuff and I for one appreciate it. There all kinds of collectors of these cool little orbs and you are as welcome as any from top notch—high dollar collectors—to the beach finders and the rest of us—“Kinda Normal” Collectors. Welcome!! You keep coming back to shake it all up!! Marble--On!!
  7. I would ask @Al Oregon before I touched this one-----just sayin! Nice bag! Marble--On!!
  8. I have never been able to ID these colors--just a killer marble however! Marble--On!!
  9. A hard thing to do--going through a moms or dads marbles--that is why I started to sell lately, to keep my wife and kids out of this hassle. There are no instant results with marbles ID--many may claim it but each one takes some time to fully get it ID'd correctly. Then it comes to the time to sell them—what a drag—selling marbles—one at a time trying to get it right. I suggest either continuing this collection or selling it. There are many here and from around the World that are willing to suggest a seller to you that I/we/her would trust. Cut down on the stress from losing a loved one—and sell them—with advice from a promised collector. I wish you and yours well. Marble—On!!
  10. Start over here--guys and gals will do fine for a correction and anything in-between—all are welcomed here. Marble—On!!
  11. It is not a CAC but I agree it does show some traits. I would not call it a JABO-a WVS of some sort and make imho. Nice marble--weird but nice. Marble--On!!
  12. I agree with Vacor--an early model. They will not carry any value--just memories for me. Marbles like these launched a research binge for me like never before in my collecting life--. They were covered in Chicken droppings and a ton of dust like most of the stuff at that sale--pre rubber gloves -lol. I thought that they may have been "CAC Guineas"--LOL. Live and learn-- Marble--On!!
  13. I agree--these have a weird "oily finish" on them. Marble--On!!
  14. Hmmm, @Melissa has shown some pretty weird MK's--I wonder?? Marble--On!!
  15. I fixed it--"Japenese" is acceptable here. Good catch SequoiaBet--- Marble--On!!
  16. I agree--just a weird Conqueror--good ask though! Marble--On!!
  17. I like the reflection--it looks like me--lol--just one problem--I do not own a smart-phone. Jabo is correct imho. Marble--On!!
  18. I agree with Ravenswood--It is not an Akro. Marble--On!!
  19. This is a WVS of some make or type--nice marble really. I am tempted at calling it a Heaton--but I will not--I suck suck at WVS ID👀. I have not seen one like it before. Marble--On!!
  20. Just a very nice find--I agree with Chad. A very nice share-- Marble--On!!
  21. Thanks, I am glad that you like them--Have a great 2026!! Marble--On!!
  22. There are a few that make these right my marble making friend--I suggest that you contact them--you do your own search and continue your passion. Marble--On!!
  23. Lets just say that I have not been moved by a marble like this before--just a picture of my mind. Great share here Da Roberto! Marble--On!!
  24. Really ??? This is a post about marbles--lets call them what they are. Marble--On!!
