  1. Looks like a Pelt Rainbo to me, with a slim chance of MK Not in-hand, but from the pics it wouldn't get labeled as oxblood on my desk, just a bit burnt Nice mib!!
  2. I agree, Master I would also categorize Sunburst Nice earthy tones!
  3. A couple of glowers Marble #1 15mm Patch color is more orange than red. Base glass is a translucent white with no yellow tint. Akro? Marble #2 16mm The UV glow is stronger on this marble. The patch is more red than orange, and the base-glass has a yellow tint with more transparency than marble #1. Rather seedy, I love it! Akro? Cherryade?
  4. I'm leaning Akro. What are your thoughts? TYIA!
  5. I love the yellow on this patch, it's more opaque than other yellow patches I've sorted. I also really enjoy the "cooked" shades of yellow, reminiscent of a well-ripened banana. Leaning Akro, but the pinched seam makes me think possibly Master
  6. I've read that "Woody" is a Pelt term, so I won't apply that here; but ho boy does this mib remind me of woodgrain I'm leaning Akro. Backlighting shows white filaments/striations in the base glass.
  7. "Ooooh!" - my audible reaction Not confident enough on slags to call an ID, but she's a BEAUT!
  8. I was thinking #1 and #2 were Akro Moss Agates, but the references I see online show yellow/ade type bases. Example: Marble #1 19mm Marble #2 18mm Marble #3 This one exhibits opalescence when backlit w/ white filaments/striation in the base. Could it be an Acme Realer? 18mm
  9. All are 16mm or a hair off. Marbles #1 and #2 are dark brown, not black. All non-white colors have striations/filaments which are more visible in-hand Marble #1 Marble #2 Marble #3
  10. I feel ya Bill! This sucker decided to pop at grandma's on Wednesday. Top floor got to 89*, luckily the basement stayed cool. First time I'd ever identified/replaced a traditional fuse
  11. X2 Rainbo Electrifying!! âšĄïžâšĄïžâšĄïž
  12. Looking though my "master" bin atm, I change my vote on #3 to Master
  13. Initially sorted this as a swirl, then a cork, now I'm thinking maybe swirl again whatever it is, I love the colors
  14. Would get sorted as Pelt on my desk - but I also don't have a Kokomo bin *makes note to go back and check ribbon order* Thanks Steph!
  15. Master to me too - Really putting the SUN in Sunburst
  16. Btw I love all the contrast! Vibrant Yellow/Black Red/Black always gets an extra 👍 from me I bet they really POP when backlit
  17. Pelt, MK, Pelt - Is how they'd get sorted on my desk #2 almost looking like a catseye - also has the best yellow of the bunch imo
  18. First time I've gathered all of the corkscrews that I've identified. It's cool to see the variation in hues/shades even in similar color ways (yellow/blue as an example). I understand how some collectors could chase the Akro corkscrew rainbow for a lifetime. Corks have been nice softballs for me, next are the patches! I expect some bruises haha
  19. I'm thinking maybe pelt rainbo Very vibrant!
  20. Looks vitro to me, based on this reference I stumbled upon.
  21. “George Costanza finds his childhood marbles” Could be a fun script. George’s parents finally move to Florida and while packing they discover George’s marble collection from his childhood. Kramer catches wind and invites George to a secretive “Marble Club” (Kramer forgot the 1st and only rule). George is hooked from the get-go, but feels embarrassed by the “kiddie marbles” that others claimed he uses (not rare 🙄). Except for one, George is told that he had a “Jade Samurai” which was very rare and sought after. Many people offer to trade, but George always declines. George convinces Kramer to explore the cities’ shops in search for more “adult” marbles. While on coming out of antique store, a kid overhears George speaking of marbles. “Hey gramps, think your thumbs got what it takes to beat this neighborhood’s champ”, the kid yells at Costanza’s back. George proceeds to become frustrated, and becomes overly-boastful of his abilities. So the kid offers to play, for their best marbles. “I bet you play with kiddie marbles”, the kid exclaims. George reaches into his pocket, plucks out the Jade Samura, bends over the shoot, and goofs it. Camera freezes on George’s horrified expression.
  22. I’m imagining someone standing over a bin at a store/swap meet, taking marbles out individually to feel upon their cheek. Onlookers watching in bewilderment. Kind of like the egg carton scene from Clerks. Thanks for the laugh and the tip Ric!
  23. No glow on that one. But... A snake, I believe Watch your step, when in the weeds The fangs, filled with UV 😆
