  1. Good variety of marbles. From the views, the majority seem to be newer marbles from the last 20-30 years.
  2. Very sad news. I enjoyed communicating with her over the years. Very helpful on the European marble scene.
  3. Alox makes sense to me. There are some questions on bags being filled later on (not back in the 50-60's when these first came out) but...?
  4. Sorry to hear this. Prayers to his family and friends.
  5. I just heard from Pete that the Land of Marbles is now out of business. Pete has supported the marble hobby for well over 20 years and it is sad to see that part of it go away. The chat board is still there. I have not heard from him on what is happening with that.
  6. Lower left and middle are Peltier. Lower right may be one also. Upper left may be Vitro or Akro - tough to tell.
  7. OK Steph - now you have to identify the marble(s) in each day. That'll help everyone.
  8. The transparent swirls are sometimes quite hard to ID to a particular maker.
  9. Not sure if you are asking about my bag or...? I don't see any aventurine in the OP pic but doesn't mean there is not any. I do not have that bag in front of me so can't tell if any aventurine although I have seen specks of it in some Vacor (Mega) marbles.
  10. I thought they might have been an earlier version of the Dragon - same colors but a much more defined pattern. Just like the early Michelangelo as compared to the subsequent runs. Here is a picture of one of my bags of Dragons (nowhere near as nice but similar colors).
  11. You got the sulphides, couple clays, several early handmades and one "out-of-place" MK Tiger (or maybe Wasp).
  12. Yes, Peltier Rainbo - unusual bleeding on that one side, especially with base glass.
  13. That all makes sense. It's a great starter collection as well as the memory of your grandmother.
  14. They look like they are all from the 50's - 60's time frame. First group are cat's-eyes - not valuable but collectible. Looks like some hybrid types with more than one color on some of the vanes (Vitro usually). The other large group of marbles look like Vitro All Reds - again, common. The last couple pictures have another Vitro called Conqueror in lower right and a couple Peltier banana style cat's-eyes (single vane of color).
  15. The upper left is ? but rest look Vitro.
