Continue to backlight my marble collecting friend. You will find many brains and weird stuff in even the most common looking marbles. This is fun stuff and not always meant to be a retirement package of multi dollar marbles. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!

Thanks for that disco. This has been a great discussion, and we need more of this type from everyone involved here. Taking out a few minutes to discuss marbles and showing images from the library that we all own may be the way. To just say that “this is a what” or “this is a never a what” is not enough to keep this board going in this new age. We all must share our knowledge here—in a somewhat extended language. Short here and there’s will not make it. Do not be afraid of any negativity from anyone. I will not allow it. We all have opinions, and I will stand by them all. This is how we all have learned, and this is how the future should continue to be here on “TheMarbleConnection”. Marble—On!!

Well, If you have me starting Thüringen Thursday--we are all bored and out of marbles. I have a few to share but not many. I will just post my faves which I may have traded away. The first one I believe is a banded Opaque. The last two I call "Clearies". Marble--On!!

Thanks for mentioning that disco005. I hardley ever look at videos and my sound is always off. It sounds like Ukulele music to me. It does pick up your spirits a lot for sure. Fitting for cats eyes no doubt. The little sister of collectable marbles for years now is getting some recognition from all. ( I should listen to all of this stuff as a moderator---you never know what may be found in the sound provided-I am lacking here and will continue to do my best) Nice job Dave! Marble--On!!

Here are some more normal Master Glass Cats-- Marble--On!!

I would never call any marble posted as ugly--maybe mugly, such as in damaged marbles--or oogliy. Nice images for sure. Find anyone here that will not call Master Glass marbles ugly and I will send a bag or two. Master Glass probably made the worst looking ever cats eyes in history. I have collected them for years--I am just looking for that special one-or two. Believe it or not there were fakes of these less than desirable bags made. Maybe @Al Oregon has some input here. They do exist😵‍💫. The great ones. It just takes a lot of sorting. Marble--On!!

This one came from a bag from Eliziabeth Kempski, the queen of cats. Marble--On!!

The first one is a Pelt Rainbo and I believe that this one is that one that you have on your flashlight. The clear based one is a hard tell.( I think that it is an asian cateye) The other two are what I would call Vacor. Marble—On!!

These Peltier Christmas trees came in a variety of hues of colors. Some were dull and some were more brightly colored—some, such as the Burnt Christmas Trees which are even less colorful, but still a nice find are a nice marble to hold and look at. I believe that yours is a Pelt on the duller side and lacking any good fill with the colors. Nice find! Marble—On!!

This one does not fit into the almost "super" catogorie. Just a Nice Rainbo! Marble--On!!

Nice find from the garden for sure. I find these garden marbles all of the time--not this nice though. Not a helmet imho, but close enough to call it a "garden helmet". Marble--On!!

The first image--nice inny--most are outies😁. Marble--On!!

Nice cats! I have always been partial to the ugly cats that Master Glass made---kinda like a last ditch effort to keep up with the influx of Japenese made and an underdog as well. Here is one that is special--you really have to pick through these to find one like this. Marble--On!!

Is a trip to Japan in the future? Marble--On!!

Amazon Fire. At first I made a print--it faded out, these are metal and it worked on day two-some guy on a motorized skate board(really)?? We had some hail damage in the area last year and I was constanly getting bugged about a new roof. One guy put his foot in the door--with me! (Instant Pissed) I payed up for nice expensive roofing about three years ago. No damage here. I was more worried about my windows-bang, bang, Bang--I guess that I did them right too. The clicker was when some old dude ( yah, I am old too but this guy pissed me off and I will not be pushed around) selling religion got in my face through the screen door about reading the Bible (nothing against that--just stay out of my face and do not judge me--or get angry with me). I am glad that the ladies stayed in the car😁. I am a nice guy--I think--but limits are limits😇.

Welcome Cato, Show us what you have. Marble--On!!

I built a spring up table on the coffee table--in front of the TV--we have date night every night. When we eat at the Kitchen table, we call it a party. I do not mind a brain teaser here and there--just keep on coming back--and sort some marbles for whatever reason. I am not in sales--you should see the sign on my front door. Marble--On!!

There were 18 varieties of these according to my paperwork. I always suspected that the bigger ones were sold in gift shops along with the weirder stuff that I show in these images--no proof yet. Marble--On!!

This one is a big Jabo imho--"Classic" as made from the production runs--not from the "Special Runs". I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Good ask here and once again great images. It is so close to being a CAC that I will ask for help. The blue does not seen to have to opaque qualities that I would expect in a CAC. Maybe @Alan has a response here? Marble on!!

“Vitro Helmets” are usually transparent based with a stripe or “the top of a football helmet” running through the white. You will have to envision a football helmet from the 60’s to get a better idea. If you look at them from the stripe, front to back, you will usually see the little ears that represent the sides of a football helmet. I have posted a few examples. Marble--On

My wife was just bitchin today about the price of Mayonaise. I could make it myself---but it still takes eggs🙃. Marble--On!!

Welcome back Kristina Dickey. Show us what you have! Marble--On!!

Not right in the least. I have always looked forward to your posts. "This too shall pass". I cannot speak for @Fire1981 (well maybe a little🙃) but if you need some to look at--I will send some--a box full. I am trying hard not to get political here--not accepted @TheMarbleConnection ( stay out of the politics everyone--I will delete it )--but this will pass also, politics. You need a good fix with marbles? I am there for you and you will not be dissapointed. Just PM me your address and the game is on! I encourage everyone to send a few up north to our old friend @davesnothere. Marble--On!!.

Pretty cool "Hurricane" Fire. Thats what I would call it at least. I love a good mistake and so does Fire. Who knows how Vacor disgards marbles? I always suspected that they tumbled their rejects and "frosted them". It could be an open pit for all that I know. Nice stuff Fire! Marble--On!!
