WVS is my best here. Marble--On!!

You have a great group of Alley Agate Marbles here. Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" "msecrets". I am far from an expert with WVS names which you have here but I know them when I see them. @cheese or @Chad G. may step in here with a better description. You have some nice ones--thanks for sharing them. I see a few Blue Ladys, Some Blues Sky’s and a few Opal Lady’s These are not really common to find and well worth the post. Keep them coming! Marble--On!!

It is a Canadian Rainbo for sure. Knock out the Canadian and it is a Rainbo imho--the Canadian was just a respect thing😁. Marble--On!!

An orange slag made by any maker is a true RARE marble. I always thought that they were a crossover during production between a red and an amber marble. I could never prove this—just my thoughts. You have a great one here! Nice share! Marble—On!!
-
I love this color combo too. These often show up with Oxblood included--I do not know why but they are just a step up from yours. Marble--On!!

Nice bo! Marble--On!
-
Vacor but what a weird one--a keeper for sure. @Melissa may have a name for it but it sure escapes me. Marble--On!!
-
It looks like one of my Masters to me--dusty and very old. I love it! Marble--On!!
-
Nothing is sad here. A nice Akro Slag imho. Marble--On!!
-
Nope! Marble--On!!

This one shows the white as opalescent—I always love this type of white and my eye is always drawn to it. Jabo has it and many behind them for years had it as well. I cannot call it anything other than nice images and a pretty cool marble. Nice share! Marble—On!!

I agree with the above statements. This one does not line up color wise with any company so I am judging the cut marks. Akro imho--Marble--On!!

You put this Akro slag in a dark room and light it up with UV light. These glow light like a giant Firefly. Nice find!! Marble--On!!
-
@Melissa may break this tie here and I always welcome her opinion. Pelt to me--nice one. Marble--On!!
-
Nice images, I might go as far as calling this one a Vitro. Marble--On!!

Very close I have to admit here. Get back into that stream or river. No one will arrest you for cleaning up our natural resources--just carry a bike part with you--or a piston, or an old tire😁. (and a back packpack for marbles with a sandwich and a bottle of water inculded) I just love this stuff and I would do the same. In My state, no-one owns the rivers--they are all fair play unless you are fishing or hunting. A misdomeanor is worth it imho😁. Marble--On!!

Nice Alley Wolf! Marble--On!!

I do love these and I do call them Popeyes. (allways will) Nice find. Here is a video of something quite fitting. vaseline by stone temple pilots - Search Here are the lyrics--just open another window and paste it. Stone Temple Pilots - Vasoline lyrics - Search Marble--On!!

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
akroorka replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
It is a surprising thing to see what these marbles actually sell for. I have plenty of them along with some side attractions such as the big holder/display item. Pokeball? It is not going to pass very soon, this addiction to PokeMon by the masses--not just younger folks but pushing 50 inculded. Check it out on ebay—these things go for crazy money. I entered into this realm about ten years back but rather than sell them, I decided to get a smile from my grandkids. (way better than money) I still have too many but I know where they are going❤️. Marble—On!! -
Welcome Jon, to TheMarbleConnection. All that has been said is true and to the point. You could ask for another price--never be afraid to do so. These are very colorfull marbles--just not too rare. I would give up $30 in a minute. Marble--On!!
-
Master--hard to find in this size. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble regardless of any ID. Marble--On!!
-
I think that you are right on. These came glazed and unglazed. I will bet that this one was glazed and found on a beach. Nice find!! Just my opinion. Marble--On!!
-
I would call this one a Jabo "Contract". Or a marble made during a special run--not from the general sales made world wide. Marble--On!!
-
These colors just light me up Great marble! Great images as well. The difference between a CAC and an Alley like this are equal imho. Just a great find! Marble--On!!

We are here to help--nuf said. I do not know why but these weird oxblood lines show up in a variety of makers included with the color green. The green colors also show an almost but not quite common find of Aventurine--this I can explain as a a mixture of minerals that did not quite get mixed into the glass as the maker desired. The Oxblood, mixed with the green--in many makers, I cannot explain and am mesmerised by it. Perhaps @cheese knows more? Marble--On!!
