  1. There were a few--and still are, a few rascals that try to match a Peltier Superman. I think this is one of them. @Fire1981 may have an opinion here. Just my opinion---I do not see Vacor or Peltier here. Marble--On!!
  2. This is the place to start—Welcome by the way, If I missed you previously, to “TheMarbleConnection”. The box is pretty nice imho. I believe that you have a "Moonie" box top and an Akro "Flintie" box bottom. Moonies and Flinties are sisters---they act the same but the Flinties have a few more colors involved regarding the marbles. The "Flinties" boxes are greenish--the "Moonies" boxes were blueish. You do know how to shine a Moonie—the last image--good job! I am glad to see that neither you nor your father attempted any repairs on the box. Leave it alone, keep it out of the sunlight and enjoy it for years to come. A #1 sized marble is 11/16”. You can find them if you bring a good strong light along with you when hunting. The Christensen Agate Company also made marbles very close to the Akro Agate types—this may be splitting hairs though. I am glad to see this box posted here and very happy to see that you want to keep it. I just love this stuff!! Marble—On!!

  10. This one is an Akro Slag--not too much going on though. Nice find -good question. Marble--On!!
  11. We are all excited to get to know you as well--welcome to “TheMarbleConnection” the very friendliest place to discuss marbles on this planet. We will all have a place to enjoy what you have to share with us as far as marbles go. If you ever have any problems with discussion here—it will be delt with and you will be the winner if you keep your wits about you. We all have your back. Show us what you have with no despair or judgement from any here. I look forward to your future posts and images. Marble—On!!
  12. I would be an Ash tree--trying to fight back through the infestation of a beetle that has killed us all---almost---
  13. Oh yes--it is a Zebra NLR--imho- Av does not make or break a great marble! Nice find! Marble--On!!
  14. Great images for sure. At first I thought ---pretty hairy palm of hand—unless we have some new off world species posting here—then I got it—no off worlders yet—that I know of---well may be me . This is just a beautiful example of an image of a marble—even though it could be cropped a tad more. This one is a beautiful example of a "maybe" Vitro Cat and it may need some more evaluation—this one is special. Ask Bob Block for a job--just killer images. Great job--show some more!! Marble--On!!
  15. This one is a wvs--I have no idea who made it. @cheese? Marble--On!!
  16. X3 no Jabo--here. Lets as @cheese Marble--On!!
  17. This one is a Vacor--maybe a "Dragonfly" Lets as @Mojo for an opinion here. Marble--On!!
  18. If you are asking me my friend Melissa----I will answer. This one is a veneered marble. The cutlines show this white with the white showing through. Pelts alway have a deeper color--into the center. You cannot always judge by the colors and I will go to bed tonight thinking that this one is a MK. The early MK's had a tendancy to do this--deeper colors--but still venneered. I just love this stuff--thanks for asking. I am not one to argue my ID's--Folks can call this one a Pelt all day long--but I know what I see here. Marble-On!!
  19. I am a bit weary of this one being called a Vitro--the base glass points me towards asia. Of course-I apreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
  20. These "Benningtons" were sold all over the planet Earth. You might find some in Antarctica😏. They are still a very cool find--not too rare--but fun told hold and see for sure. I love these little orbs--just love -em. Marble--On!!
  21. Nice Akro! All Day Long! Marble--On!!
  22. I looked again and agree with @Fire1981--I have to look--it is my job here. Nice Pelt imho. Marble--On!!
  23. Nice Rainbo--there may be a name. This may not be a simple Rainbo--more advanced. Lets Ask @Fire1981 . Marble--On!!
