The Nickel Guy

I give you a tropy like. Thank you for that interesting write up. So neat!

I wouldn't be surprised to find that in a Mega Marbles asst bag. I think you're right. The pink might just be incidental very thin brown.

Thank you Fire. I had an inkling. I shall change the title a little.

I like this 5/8 marble I wanted to stow in with others of it's kind after sorting hundreds of mibs the past few days. It has me baffled. The seams can be seen fairly well in my picture. No help for me though, Please help me pigeon hole this one. Thanks

Very good and thanks for the response. There isn't any white patches on the 50 mibs.

I've seen antique blocks that were puzzles in a box with that period cartoons in antique shops rather inexpensive years ago. Never saw them with hollow boxes that held marbles. Very cool. One could make up similar toys with a printer I bet but that original age look would be hard to replicate. I'll have to keep an eye out for these. I bet they are quite scarce. I did a wow like for this one. Right down my alley. NICE!

Thanks so much you two. I assemble sets of 24 plus a shooter from asst bags and make up labels. This is my first non set, instead it is a count. I shall call these "Jarts" until I learn otherwise. My net bag card or tag.

Amazing collection there. Great photography. I put a trophy up on the likes button.

Has a common classic Jabo, played with, look to it for me.

Perhaps an older Vacor "Raven"?

Absolutely. Three color Rainbow

I ended up with exactly 50 of these 5/8th mibs in a somewhat older collection. An odd random number but almost makes me think that was a "count" in a original package for this batch, arriving at that total after sorting. They very much resemble Vacor type. They were all in great condition which I thought was unusual. I did not recognize the pattern in the Vacor named marbles, so I thought maybe they were an older version or discontinued. Having searched a lot, I give up. I have found them elsewhere but either ID-ed wrong or not ID-ed at all. Thanks so much. '

What an interesting and informative thread this is. Neat marbles too.

Thanks for posting. I suppose I have one from there as well. Had to do up a picture since you were so good to do so.

I was just lucky to see marbles at the two yard sales, luckier I didn't spend that 20 at stop one as well. I would have went right home. I see you are soaking some in that tupperware on the right. My new ones got a bath too. Half are already put away. I like those two swirls you got. The white base red and the orange base red. I got one like the orange base with about 7 or 8 flame tips in my lot today. I think it's an Alley.
