  1. Yep! If this one was clean I would call it a Jabo. It looks dug and as far as I know there are no dug Jabo yet. Cheese is right on, he has been there and done that--dig. Marble--On!!
  2. Nice marble! Nice Find!! I agree with Alley. More opinions are needed for sure. Marble--On!!
  3. I looked and looked at this one. This one is another good example of my study of Vacor marbles. I tried to make it a Vacor and it just did not add up. Imho this is a Vitro—“All-Red” coming in at 7/8”. Nice coverage for sure—a killer Vitro. I appreciate all opinions and wish to see some. I learn every day and I appreciate that from all that include themselves in the posts. Marble—On!!
  4. Thanks cheese, I have always thought of "House of Marbles" as a "Jobber" of those made by other companies. Live and learn—as always--- Marble—On!!
  5. This one is between 3/4” and 7/8”. White with an amberish/greenish base glass. Yes, it is out of round—still pretty cool. I think that it must be an Alley Agate. I appreciate all opinions and look forward to them. Marble—On!!
  6. I love it--a new one for me! Great find! Marble--On!!
  7. I believe Fire. Been there done that--we are not alone. UFO -- on!!
  8. This marble measures in at 5/8” right on the dot. It resembles a Ravenswood “Blue Raven” and a Ravenswood “Green Raven”. The trouble is—it has both green and blue involved along with a mix of both colors. My only hope is that these images show what I have here. I need some opinions for sure. If you need more info—just ask. Marble—On!!
  9. This looks like an Asian machine made marble that came from a house fire to me. I respect all opinions. Marble--On!!

  13. The top image--left to right. Jabo classic, Jabo classic, the right hand one maybe a Champion "Hot Wheel". More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!
  14. I just love your avatar! There are actually a small group that collect "Beach glass" marbles. Try a search on google and be rewarded. Marble--On!!
  15. Nice marble--nice find! Marble--On!!
  16. Thanks cheese. Nice marble! This is the first that I have heard of them having a machine. I need more info and will appreciate anything that you have to add. Marble--On!!
  17. I agree Mojo--you did your part for sure. I appreciate you and what you have done for all of us that get a tad crazy with marbles. Marble--On my friend!!
  18. This is a nice blue "bennie" or "Bennigton". They are "glazed" clay marbles. In my world the bigger or smaller the better. They get quite big--over 1" and quite small--inder 1/2" The brown ones are more common in my experience followed by the blue ones. These come in a variety of colors that may be mixed. The little eyes or dots are a result of them being stacked together during the firing finish. The glaze kinda stuck to each other as they were packed into the kiln quite tightly. Marble--On!!
  19. I will stick to my guns here--I have lived and learned. There is no marble in my entire collection that shines like the one that you posted from "facebook". A bit-of-Windex and it looks like your OP imho. Thanks for the update--it is no MK imho--just a very shiny--and very nice--Imperial. Of course, I may be wrong and I will always appreciate more opinions and look forward to seeing them all. Keep them coming my marble collecting friend and I will keep my opinions coming as well--right or wrong. Marble--On!!
  20. “Calligraphy”--Alley Agate, just a killer marble! This one is from “The Wild”. Keep looking and searching—they are still out there. Marble—On!!
  21. I have had a few polished by the best--Leroy. It was early on in my collecting addiction --never again. I still look at them as polished and a learning experience as well. He did very well--I think that I jumped the gun. Today, I would trade them for a nice corkscrew. I paid bad money for marbles that I do not really like that much today. Original surface rules regardless of the defects---imho of course. Hold the reins in--whenever it counts and of course--- to the next! Marble--On!!
  22. This one is a WVS and I just suck at WVS ID More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!
  23. Whew!! I am against texting and driving--let alone Marble ID and driving. I will bow out here. Marble--On!!

    Patches?

    The very shiny one from your file looks like a Pelt Acme Realer--it should show some AV in my experience. The rest are hard to tell although some of them are Pelt. There are just too many with not enough views As far as your "pirated images"--- I see some Akro, some Vitro and some Pelts--there may be a few other makers included. Lets get this straight with Pelt Patches--they are two color--not including the "merged" or overlapping colors that may produce a different shade of glass. I hope that this helps--never be afraid to ask. Marble--On!!
