The Nickel Guy

Yepper ! Same as mine I bet., especially that middle one. Maybe we will both find out what they are now from somebody else.

Closest example I could find from a recent link provided by Chad G. where I posted yesterday about another Vacor. Maybe I got this one? Vacor Samurai?

I hope I am not a bother, but as long as you kind people keep helping, if I can't figure it out, I'll keep asking. I thought this might be Akro.

Too bad it has that hit. Maybe it is still a keeper.

I hope so. The general look of it made me think it was related to the pee wee twins I posted recently. It just looked like it was made in a similar way but with only one color. See here

Opaque base (appears black to me) with red swirl. I am guessing Vacor I like this one a lot, probably about 5/8 in diameter.

Ahhhhh ... thanks a lot Fire!

I am going to guess this is a Master Marble Co, other than that it has a couple nicks and a bruise seen in right bottom. The seam is obvious in that corner photo as well? Am I right? Thanks

Thank you all.

Probably 1/2 inch in diameter, a very nice marble that I would like to call a "Wire Pull" but the blue-ish white thread might be too thick. Hey what do I know? This one does not appear to have been played with much. Great shape and one in my collection that certainly jumps out at me. Top left almost looks like the number 575 doesn't it? Wonder who made this one?

Thanks so much!

So I think I got this one (first two actually) correct. Peltier Peerless Patches ? Is there oxblood color involved in these ? and ( Looks a lot like Fire1981's avatar species ) Now I know this one is not a patch. I think I recall reading about that little straight line in upper right hand corner view that is am identifier for the maker. Again, oxblood? Thank you all kindly. Going to keep bringing them questions and pics as long as they are welcome.

Sorry for the typo on Akro Akroorka

Thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. Thank you!

I would imagine that the seams or folds on this one is the clue. I don't think it is a super valuable marble but it is in better condition and the whole thing just appears to be so nicely balanced in design. Another typical size marble 3/4 inch or just a tad smaller I guess. I have this one a long time. I just like it but have no idea. Thank you! Just a note, I was thinking that Jabo marbles were made in the late 1990s and forward until recent years. I have purchased a hundred or so in this past year but all my other marbles are in my possession since at least the 1980's. So often I think a lot of marbles get ID-ed as Jabo incorrectly. But any one of you guys and gals know a lot more than me so I am not one to debate.

Awful nice of you to write up such a great reply Steph. Thank you, very informative.

I see that Akrp Sparklers are much more colorful and attractive than my examples. Maybe this is closer?

Here's a couple pretty marbles that I am thinking are maybe Aldo Sparkers or Sunbursts? I am trying to do all I can to learn on my own as much as I am relying on you fine people. These are maybe 3/4 inch in diameter or maybe just shy.

Thanks !!! I wonder if this one would be a Master Marble Co Comet?

Okay, hope these show the seams. Thanks all.

I am not sure what to call this one. Larger than 5/8, maybe 3/4 inch. I'm learning quickly that I need to clean off my marbles before taking pictures. What is this pretty marble and who made it? Thanks so much I

Last night I opened one of my display cases and I have two very much similar marbles here that are under a half inch in diameter and another about the same size with a purple/black swirl on white. These are pretty cool, I'd like to know what you think. I have them since the 1980s and I am guessing they are all older than that. Thank you! No1 And it's twin No2

Thank you kindly akroorka! My next venture will be to pick out my favorite marbles and post pictures.

I spent a few days in the hospital. Finally back with the best images I could provide of those two larger white marbles. MARBLE 1 (smaller of the 2) about 3/4 inch Has a black speck in the glass well below surface. Three different lightings but same marble. MARBLE 2 (larger of the 2) about 13/16 inch Three different lightings but same marble. Clearly the best of all those white ones I think.

Welcome!
