Yes, I would say much harder--most, if not all, are patches that are hard to ID vs a Master which are a tad more common imho. These little Akro Patches were commonly placed on top of the poutch--just one--in the Akro Popeye Boxes. Collectors called them "Swea Pea" after Popeyes little adopted son. Marble--On!!

Once learned, the trill of a Screetch Owl is very cool to hear. I love it. They will call back and forth until you give a Horned Owl hoot or three, then all is quite. Horned Owls prey on those little fellas. Cool stuff for sure. The Horned owls at least are setting up their breeding grounds and some may be nesting already. I always watch for Crows bunching up--they know what is up with birds of prey and they jump on any oppurtuntity to harrass them. I have seen them bug the heck out of an Eagle in the back fourty. Earlier this winter I watched a Coopers Hawk being harrased by a bunch of crows--He was not intimidated--he just wanted to eat one of them. Cool Stuff.

Thanks Alan, I cannot log into AAM for any reason?? Marble--On!!

"Duplos"---I still step on them when the great grandkids are on their way home--OUch!! --even on carpet with socks on.

Nice image! About 35 years ago I was in the kitchen with my youngest son teaching him bird calls. We lived at the time in an ancient Virgin woods. I was doing a a Cardinal call when all of a sudden, just outside the window, a Barred Owl Let loose--Big time--shivers up the spine for both of us, what a memory! Ohh--hooh-hoo--Ohh hoo-hoo--Hoooooo!!! ( with a trill of sorts) Owls On for sure!

All that I can say is Poor chicken--ouch. I made some scratch pancakes for my Grandaughter last weekend--two eggs were called for--one was a double yolker--I am not a pancake fan but these tasted pretty good--too much yolk for her--who knew? My Daughter -in law said she would take them home and eat them cold🤢. As a kid, I might have seen a triple yolker once--from a turkey duck--that is one big egg. I am sure that my Pa loved it along with his burnt Bacon--yuckkk🤢. Light the candles!!! Pancakes----Waffles---I still do not get it---Nan Bread is much better and easier to boot. Ummm--- Nan Bread and Chicken--no syrup--yuuk.

Oh! I would love to see one. I collect old cardboard boxes but I have a few wooden ones as well. Show us what you are thinking of VA. Marble--On!!

It sure does! I am thinking Akro here. Nice marble!

Nice group of the smallies! Image seven may be a Vitro---colors only make me think this. #9 is probably a Master Made due to the cutlines and colors. The rest are Akro imho—just based on experience here and hard to explain. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. These little guys all act different from their bigger cousins—yep the 5/8”. Not always an easy ID these peewees. Marble—On!!

Welcome NewGuy287 to TheMarbleConnection. Chad is right on--the middle images show a mixture of USA and Asian swirls. You may even have a Ravenswood in the mix--pretty cool. Break them up into groups of three or four and send some more images for ID. Marble--On!!

Spiderman would be my best guess. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marbles! marble--On!!

I am on the Vacor Train here--nice marble. Marble--On!!

So------a wooden handmade box designed to hold marbles?

LOL, I got these from a Priest--same name--same problems--I may have been the holy man here. Marble--On!!

Did I miss the size? The Chinese market is turning out little torch mades like bees make honey. Nice marble! I think That Alan is right on. Marble--On!!

Carpet pins? I would love to see some more history on these--nice stuff. Marble--On!!

@Melissa may have an opinion here. Marble--On!!

Lol--do you mean shaving--I just hate it. Lets all just get hairy--I am in for it. Marble--On!!

I wonder too but I would lean towards a WVS of some make or model. I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Tonight, I am making a recipe from “All Recipes”. “Chef Johns Creamy Mushroom Pasta”. A first time for me but Chef John is always on point with his recipes and most are quite simple. I could eat mushrooms for breakfast—love -em. In the Midwest , in a smaller town you have to adjust and I will for sure. I have dried shitake—I will make them work. Eat –On!!

I can eat these all day Chad. My oldest son raises a few chickens for eggs. His daughter( my grandaughter) was overnight last Friday and she just loves my pancakes from scratch--one egg was a double yolker. ( I am not a pancake guy--but I guess that I can make them well). I just purchased a new "Hex Clad" 12"pan and I woud have never imagined it cooking pancakes in it for the first time--it turned out to be a good test. They do get hot and they do not stick--turn the temp down for sure. I use the basic pancake recipe from "The Joy Of Cooking" recipe book. Killer book for sure. My Daugher -in Law took the remainder home and she said that she eats them cold. I just love this stuff! ( not pancakes though)

Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" KCBB. @Ponjong is right on the money imho. Nice marbles! Marble--On!!

Nice display for sure. The glass ten cent marbles box has me wondering? Pretty cool imho. The “Sailor Boys” I am not familiar with. Nice stuff—great work! Marble—On!!

They are of course marbles with a hole through them. I do not know the process here--how the holes were made. I can see "Lady Gaga" wearing these for sure. Nice stuff! Marble--On!!

Thanks et cetera, I have not heard of "Teal" Akro slags before this post from you. I have never seen one before--good eye--great name. Marble--On!!
