The Nickel Guy

I thought this was quite interesting. Someday I may own one but until then I can learn more. Thanks for the great and informative video.

Ooooooo that's beautiful. I have no idea who made it but my first thought was it's a Jabo contract run which means not a whole lot. It sure is nice.

I don't know much at all about the more modern European marbles but when I see this type that seam always looks like a battlefield doctor sewed up a soldier and went on to the next patient. Always a bit ragged from what I have noticed on this type and always a bit of a gap maybe. I don't think we see this on Master Marbles.

I have discovered an ebay listing by a seller who specializes in Vacor Mega Marbles and has named these Cobalt Patch 2024. How long that link will be good I don't know but I kinda like calling them "Jarts" better. LOL

I am happy to help and try to. I haven't met a new member that came after me that I havn't been polite and friendly with. Welcome. I was treated nicely when I arrived and I see so many of the new people going through the same stuff I did. It's OK , keep on plugging away.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a Marble King Rainbow

Got these winning an auction ( except the lower left one that I had ) Master Marbles and Akro Agate Slags. I like that bigger red one best.

Don't know what you mean but that Oxblood marble is a good start!

Pelt what? Pelt is a Peltier Marble. I like em both.

I think a green slag is a bit harder to find than the other colors Akro made, yes it's a decent slag marble. Monetary value, I can't say, but I think it's pretty nice.

Blueberry Freeze Vacor Marble - I think that it is deliberately acid washed surface at factory.

You have impeccible taste when it comes to marbles. Nice snag.

I agree it looks like a Scorpiom 2016 but . . . it also looks shiny, a bit iridized and the Scorps I have are not. but . . . it happens sometimes there are both.

Moon Marble Order arrived a little while ago. Atom has changed these look a lot like Fiesta if not exactly the same Molecule looks like Dino or my Dino idea is wrong Astronaut is a new combo of pretty colors for me Rocket resembles Octopus but has white and orange swirls inside Axolotl I got just for the weird hang tag really, they are a clear orangish peach shiny crystal, pronounced Axe a lot el Eclipse are very nice but I cannot tell the difference yet if they are the same as the last version of Michelangelo Bigfoot reminds me of Jungle but are clear with green and brown swirls inside My 12 pack of Troll 1 inchers resemble Mermaid and also look a lot like Henry Hobbit Vacor Glasfirma Top Notch round tag marbles but not exact match for either. All of these marbles look to be in excellent shape. I seem to have problems with the Vacor transparent base glass now and then with pinpricks but these look very nice and with nice strong patterns.

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
