Thanks for the info! Will do! I thought the purple probably are. 😄

I thought so. Dang  wish the orange were carnelian. Do classics cone in 5/8"? I never thought about that! Lol.

Hi. Are these all jabos? Guy says 5/8". I was wondering. Are the orange ones carnelian? 

Thanks all!

I collect what I like and if you like this one take no offense.

I give marbles away all of the time--even if I like them,someone else may like them even more.

I am not married to many marbles--a few poutches and boxes but I am not a seller--just a simple collector that loves seeing folks enjoy marbles.

If I were a rich man I would do the same.

It is a lucky marble to any one that recieves it--you included.

Accept any apologies that may be in order here.

I in no way, tried to disrepect your passion for collecting.

Keep it up and keep coming back with what you like to share.

Marble--On!!

Oh, I don't even know what you mean! I took no offense to anything at all. I acquired the marble in with a bunch of other ones as a bonus, and I liked the yellow, but it just didn't "speak" to me. I love giving lucky  marbles to people! It makes me very happy to do so. Honestly I can't think of what you might have said to upset me. No worries whatsoever, friend! 🌼

Lol I did not read that correctly. I did not see his comment! I kinda figured it was what you had stated. I don't particularly care for it, tbh. Just curious. Lol. I'm going to give it to a kid and tell them it is a lucky marble. 🙂

Yes! If I could even make a perfectly round sphere out of ANY material, I'd be bragging! 🤣🤣

Okay! Here is one! I can't find my calipers but maybe 1.25"? No signature. Boo. 

Thanks all!

Just need to figure out value now lol. I might keep one, haven't decided. Thanks to everyone for the positive, fun interactions here. I love the marble community! 😃

Have a couple more I am unsure of but not inundating you guys!

RYAN DUCKIN!!

So, I did look up the ADs and APs on that list, but nothing looked close to that style. Hmmm. Shaggy and Scooby have kind of a mystery here! Lol. I'm sure if I dive deeper, the name will surface. Part of the fun! Thanks everyone!

You may want to consult Steph's old list of contemporary marble artists.

And hope @Alan will take a look at it too. 

Lol. I needn't look further! 🤣

Okay! I did look for that list, but was unsuccessful. I will try querying something different! Thanks! 

**l see now, it is probably RD, but insight is still welcome!**

I'd purchased these contemporary marbles and have looked up the "RP23" on it, but I only came up with one name, which is alluding me. The seller said that it was not the correct artist, and the name was alluding him, as well. All three have the sane signature/date. Any insight would be great! You guys are a wealth of knowledge and I thank you in advance!

I’m guessing it’s 3/4 🔥

RAR

That was my guess, too- 3/4. I have never seen an antique marble that is all purple like that. Its pretty! But an Akro cork...interesting. 

Comstock Park is tiny! Nick Finks was out of business for a while over water or something...pipes...So mow ut is a part of the Gilmore collection so don't expect anything special! Lol. 

Ric! Nick Finks is under new ownership but Mill Creek Tavern is awesome. They are opening a steakhouse next door. Now I am hungry! Lol

A guy was selling that for $300 on marketplace and I offered to help him out with what he had, so thanks to you both! 

Found this on marketplace and thought is was cool...But what is it? 

Only photos of it...

Love that purple! 

Okay. Thank you. 

Anyone have a clue about this maker?😃 Mib is perfectly round. 1.4" I believe. Not my photos.

If you're looking to purchase, I personally don't see anything really worth the price of shipping except the big vitro with the peachy ribbon. I see a couple Alleys but in bad shape, not really collectible. The first is a common Vitro conqueror. The last is a JABO. I'd save my money and wait for something better. Buy quality. Whatever it is you like, get the good ones and they will hold value.

Idk what "of value" even means lol. Like $5? Idk what to spend but know this is not the place for that. 

Thanks for the insight. I'm just not good at the value thing bc I'm bad with IDs. I cannot retain the info. It just does not stick. I look at charts and use Google lens before I come here but even going on ebay to gague value is hard bc it is really quite relative, isn't it? Sort of up to what someone is willing to pay? Idk. What are your thoughts? 

These are the only photos available to me...asking for more. I am just no good at this ID stuff. Could you help a gal out? I do utilize resources...I just don't know "how" to buy for a mib's value. I usually buy bc it is pretty. Idk if that makes sense but IDs would help greatly! 

Ty!!😃

Seller has no clue. I bought it because it is cool. Just curious as to who made it! Would like to see more! 

Might be Nate Snyder '17 upside down?? Could only find a few by him...any ideas???

Thanks!!
