VaMarbles

I just looked at our Heatons and it’s a maybe, lol. But I would lean Alley based on the probability

WVS. Not HTF.

Thank you for your input and insight on these! I know your the go to! What does ET stand for?

Interesting group. Bit of a close up!

Lots of Germans that are really damaged but some really nice pee wee, handmade opaque Mellon balls, nice large China and some cool pink fancy Benny’s.

Picked this one up today.

Any of these HTF or unique? Thanks for looking.

This one is fairly odd. 5/8 with black stripes and an orangish swirl moving through the core. Hard to describe. Thanks for looking.

Handmade

Thank you. I know this is a china marble but are they very collectible? I feel like I’ve seen a lot of these. Circled

What would these be considered? Crockery, Benningtons, old handmades from Clay? Kinda out of our wheelhouse. Thanks for looking

Here’s my quick feedback on two of the better marbles in your lot. I’ve circled them for you. Top Left Vitro Helmet and center is an Akro Oxblood. The Silver Oxblood is probably the best marble in the lot after looking quickly. Both marbles Also in pic 16 in your hand.

His Vacor video is a classic!

Recent new collectors here in Virgina. Few things that helped us get started. Stopped at 30-40 local antique shops in our area and left our contact at the desk for anyone bringing in marbles or looking to sell. This lead us to find that there were other collectors in our area and we connected with them. Although we were now competing they were way more advanced then us and willing to help us and sell some of there place holders so we could build. Easy way to start ID when you have one from multi makers and examples right in front of you. Some of these contacts are now some of our strongest friend groups. I also watched many Blocks auctions go off before actually buying items on them. It’s very educational for newbies. I would echo what Allan said about attending shows. We attended our first show in CT in October and it was very helpful and meet many of the people in the collection world. Best days of the week are when I know we have new marbles arriving in the mail from buys we have purchased.

WOW $1200! Looks CAC to me. It’s a $30 marble in my mind

.60. Looks a bit more brown than orange in the normal light. Thanks for looking.

Thanks all! Fiesta!!

That was where we were leaning originally but it has many more streamers/ribbons inside and more busy than most Fiestas. Thanks for your input!

Large Vacor. Never seen an atmosphere in person so asking on this one. Fairly wonky machine creases. Very busy inside the marble. Thanks for looking!

A Salute to MK on Veterans Day!

5/8. I don’t think it’s a double ingot at this size. I’m leaning Alley

Feel like this is just an Akro Patch

Hello bought this thinking it might be a WV but now I’m thinking no. Thoughts on this one. Thanks for looking

Had them all in the Vacor Box so I guess they will go back in there.

Thanks for the post. I do agree that the first marble is an Asian Cat eye, but I was wondering if it having confetti made it unique? Whats your thoughts on the last marble? I thought this one had the best opportunity to be a Vitro Confetti with its melted frit?
