Just something I brought to work.
The Nickel Guy replied to Wolf's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I think that one looks like a kidney. Very neat pattern on it too. I like it a lot. If you gifted it to somebody . . . would that be a kidney transplant? -
I made that for Stonehenge our member here. I did it in photoshop from a free image on one of those websites. I have tried AI on a free site just to fool aroud. I am not very happy or optimistic with the future of AI personally. It is too scary, I wish it weren't so.

I had these predominately white very iridescent swirls with a hint of blue inventoried as Jellyfish. These are not like my STREAMERS, Close but not the same at all. My Streamers are not iridized and are are mostly white thick continuous swirls. Ca-razy! What then are these ??? There might have been a time when they went by that name but now, Jellyfish seem to be either a close relative of or the same as Tiger Shark or go also by the name of Pinky. I had these named Pinky and although it does not show, they are very iridescent too. I would rather that these go with the name Jellyfish. I can't have two named Jellyfish now can I ? THANK YOU!

Never saw one of these marblemanvintagemarbles, until you posted. A wild looking marble that lives up to it's name. Very cool! -
Definately not vacor.

Happy Birthday Chad !

Thank you Ric. My mix looks a lot like your opened bag in that thread. It appears i will have some black cats, game marbles, swirls and patches. I don't think I have any collectible value in the bag except to photograph mine like you did and sort down the contents and photograph. When I do that, I will pretty much repeat what you did in your "other" post. I remember seeing Ron in a video of Stephens talking about the marbles going through the floor. I learned something new today again. I did not lose any money though, certainly didn't rob the bank either. Very educational. Awesome.

I won a couple lots in an auction. I know that these are not exactly rare and usually sell on eBay for about $25-35 before shipping. I imagine these Champion marbles are fairly common inside the bag. I am tempted to open it up when it arrives but then, these are already 50 years old. ( and I am 50 years older LOL)

I can't see anything else but clouds, a couple stars peeking through some oddly well spaced holes in them, and a tree getting in the way. Well, maybe a weird Bennington ?

So I bought 2 lbs of these Michelangelo players, and it came out to be 175 marbles. I am surprised there was no breakage, cracks, or pinpricks. They looked pretty good overall for design. I picked out my favorite set, and 1 extra which jumps out at me. Wish they all looked like it. Ended up with 7 groups of 24, Need them shooters! My extra favorite one. It's in here with this group of 25 marbles. Dead center second row from the back. I did not own a Michelangelo yet except a frosted one I got from VAMarbles at the NJ show as a gift. I STILL LOVE IT! But . . . . Maybe I did have one all along. I got this one incher and inventoried it as an "Eclipse". Sure looks like it is related to a lot of my new weaker Michelangelo. I believe these are 4th generation variety. So here it is leading the group. I think I may have assembled my own nice 24+1 net bag. My tag I made.

They strongly resemble an earlier Serpent Vacor marble. But that's just my reaction. Not an opinion. (They are neat!)
-
LOL!

I'm leaning towards Alley. Neat moment captured.

That red stripe, patch and transparent base makes me think of a Vitro Helmet and I am not saying it's a helmet but I think it is a Vitro. But then . . . that stripe is not exactly red is it?

A thin filament orange Vacor shooter. The name please?
The Nickel Guy replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
It came from Moon Marble in a Vacor assortment bag. -
