The Nickel Guy

I have a bunch of Marble King 5/8 in players and none glow under UV. They are mostly white base Patch and Ribbon. I don't know why, but some of my shooters do. Now this one may not be a Patch and Ribbon of course but I am pretty sure it is a Marble King Patch. I have others that look just like it and do glow and others that do not. Without the UV light, it would be hard to tell. Just an observation.

This one is right at 1/2 inch but no more. It does glow orange under UV. A cute little thang. Thank you!

I forget what that often seen colored anomaly is there we see on Master Marbles. ( See bottom right ) I think one of Stephen Behr's videos called it a cut off. I think I got this one right. Perhaps not a nick, but maybe a flaw in the making which is easy to see in the top two views.

Not many Master marbles in my collection. This is a very nice one.

Thanks a lot Ric. I agree now that Vacor Dragon is what it is. At least for now. Having that pattern and it being a pee wee makes it one of my favorites.

I would be very careful and pick the best without any damage at all and try to get at least one of each kind. Awesome and probably a bit on the expensive side.

Could this be a Vitro Sweet Pea Pee Wee? LOL ( say that 3 times real fast ) I suppose there is a chance it is a Vacor Dragon Pee Wee too?

I very much appreciate the time and thought you put into responding. It also is educational for me and others to visit this little thread. Thank you so much. It did not go un-noticed. You are a couple of good ones, you guys.

Okee Doke! Jabo it is and it goes to the head of the class in the classics. Thanks guys. I'll fix the title.

Thanks Ric. I just don't see the butt crackish thing going on here. There appears to me to be two seams. I said it's not Jabo in the first post because I just didn't think it was but hey, I certainly could be wrong and it is a very nice looking marble in hand. I have a good number of classics. If it is one, it is one of my best.

Here's a neat marble under a half inch. Opaque Green base, Yellow and Red Patches on opposite sides that connect. The colors of a Stop Light. Can anyone tell me who made it and if it has a nickname? Thank you!

This is a very nice marble, it is not Jabo. Anyway, I would surely appreciate some ID help here and thank you very much. It is 19/32 inch. It is a new mib that rolled in yesterday. I see that "V" and think Vitro but it is not continuous, The seam just happens to end there.

I got a gift in the mail today from one of you. I will keep my buddy anonymous but not hide my amazement. Thank you my freind. There is a nice Vitro Tiger eye, sweet pee wees, Master brushed patches and more. Almost half light up with UV light. I haven't quite taken a sit down yet, just to take and edit these images. I need to study them. This display box looks to be an expertly repurposed jewely box. Home made and I love it! Quite a coincidence that I am having two of Lawrence Alley III cigar boxes fitted with glass as I type this at the mirror and glass shop. I am dumbstruck! I got all this and some change. Wooo Hoooo! With flash and outside.

I have a handful and mine are Vacor that presently go by the name of "Confetti"

Bone collectors, you guys are!

Case Closed ~ I am switching the names of those "Pinky" to "Jellyfish" I am blending in the blue ones I had named as "Jellyfish" into my "Vapour" population. They appear as though they just might be weaker "Vapour" type.

I stopped hunting about a couple years ago. The last two deer I put in the freezer were shot, dressed, skinned, quartered and dropped off at the butcher by my hunting buddy. All I had to do was tell the butcher how I wanted it processed and I paid that bill. I hope I get to do this kind of hunting the rest of my life. I do get in my side by side Ranger and go up the hill at sunset every other day and look at the deer up there. We have some nice racks coming out at dusk and I saw a piebald the other day. I just don't want to shoot them anymore. Here's where I go up the hill. In the "Day Maker" ( I named it that )

You have some awesome subject matter there Wolf !

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!

Amazing stuff. The crown is cool and the story behind it. I just found this thread. Thanks for posting.

Definately not vacor.
