The Nickel Guy

Superb info and conversation. Thanks a bunch.

Haha ho! You learn something new every day. Thanks! I did not know swirls didn't have seams. Well that's a good thing to know.

Since you guys are so nice to study these, I figured I can at least provide my best effort in a couple collage pictures before hitting the hay. I have a hard time with seams it seems. Thanks, hope these suffice. I do think that is oxblood on no 1 here.

It lights up like a lightning bug under UV! Thanks Akroorka. It is a neat one, I am looking around to find similar ones in my non white base swirls.

Oh my, hang in there folks and thanks for the studying. I will try to take some good images of this pair and follow up soon.

Agree. I do think it resembles a couple of other transparent/translucent Jabo's or DAS I have. Thanks for looking.

5/8th inch and thank you!

Interesting info about the Pennsboro Alley. I have many Alley white based swirls. I can see no connection but this will help me learn more. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I will be able to figure them out I think by knowing that much. I'll look at other Akros and report back here. You guys rock.

davesnothere Glad you stuck around after all.

Thanks for looking anyway Nantucketdink. They aren't the usual Mega Marbles but they were in the same large bunch of Vacors I recently picked up.

The one on the left looks Jabo or D.A.S. to me, the one on the right might be Jabo, I don't know. Both about 5/8

All three are just a smidge over 5/8 Vitro Superior (UVR) Marble King Red White Blue older translucent rainbow Heaton Swirl (very reactive to UV) or a Jabo but I don't think so. Lots of reflection on the evidence of some playwear.

My guess was Vitro. The larger ones are 11/16 and the two smaller ones are 17/32 and 19/32. Do these have a general name for the type? Thank you.

A SUPER thoughtful GIFT from a very good friend of ours here on this forum. I will not mention the giver name but I did not expect such a haul of Mexico's Vacor marbles. Some Canadian, Some Mexico, some hard to find sold in the USA. and . . . I do believe that is an original bag of PELTIER banana Cats Eyes Wow. You know who you are and I THANK YOU so much. We are all lucky to have you here but I was luckiest last week. Believe it or not, I thought this special somebody was just sending me empty black Mega Marble mesh bags since I was making up my own sets. A couple PM's later back and forth it became a bit more obvious to me I wasn't getting empty bags. I was very grateful for empty bags, can you imagine opening up this box full of these marbles? Total SURPRISE and a MAJOR SCORE!!!!!
