The Nickel Guy

See third post. Sorry about that. Lilac Purple base, Green and Baby Blue patches or stripes. Sorry for the bad pictures but I think if you saw these before you will recognize them and might know what they are. Please give me the nickname. I am pretty sure these are Mega Marbles. Thank you.

Ahhh Nice contents from the bag Tommy. Even better than I thought but that's not all of them is it?

That net looks like it's holding a lot of marbles. Oh what fun to go through.

I think they mean the glass that the cold cream was in. That it may have been used to make the marble.

It's a paperweight now. A nice one.

Awesome, I really appreciate that. Changed the title as ID-d.

I guess the title says it all. It is a pretty thing, better than my pictures. It is old I think, I've had it many years. It always catches my eye when I go rooting through and sorting. 5/8th about. I want to say Heaton Agate THANK YOU!

I'd like to say who did me this solid but I won't because it might be best I don't put him on the spot. I am quite thrilled with an exchange that certainly was great for me. Ooooooooo and how awesome are these marbles. and I am a big Jabo fan, especially the fancy ones. There were also a couple amazing gifts. I mean amazing! I'll post them another time. I am blown away. You know who you are and thank you so much.

Third is gray-ish. Thanks a lot Ric. That was a good learning exercise for me too.

Very cool, you must have a long bed pickup to get all those home. I see a lot of Mega Marbles and Mineral Spheres.

Okee doke. I see a couple light fractures I didn't see before. Thanks a lot!

Vitro Agate Biscuit and Red Eye Gravy

Top right with better images. I do like this not so flashy marble. Is it still Vitro? If so does it have a catagory name?

I do think these are Master Comets. So they are set aside together for now. I think I see them in this Stephen Bahr video at 1:52

Thanks! I narrowed things down a bit. Pulled these Vitro Conquerors and they are in with their Vitro kin.

I don't think so now because that is more green than aquamarine. and according to Stephen Bahr, I need a red ribbon opposed to a blue ribbon for a Buttermilk. I saw that color too awhile back and wondered if it was the color of buttermilk but thought it might be a little light. Well with some hope and imagination, I can make out a blue patch with a thicker darker border that sort of joins the red ribbon and resembles a ribbon? I have identified this one as a nice Type 3 Vitro Tiger Eye now. I went to Joes Marbles and these colors are exact for several of his Peltier Rainbo examples. I am pretty sure this is a Peltier after looking at how some multi colored swirls are slapped together on Joes Marbles.

Thanks Ric. I'll get back on this thread soon with follow-up.

. OK, I'll try to get some good images of those two ( I think we are actually talking about two i the first image. I will also post that far right in the second picture. Thanks. and here they are. I had to watch my Stephen Bahr movie again to study them and compare.

Wow, thanks a lot Ric. I have a little homework to do there but put me right in a good direction.

I think it's either Akro Agate or Master Marbles here and I sort of think I was starting to put them with their kind. I know, I need to learn my colors and seams but are there only two marble makers who made these? Thanks and good night!

Thanks for those responses you two!

I think I'm looking at Vitro. The one on the right is not a good enough image for you to think too hard about. Ill update with a better image in the near future. Thank you!

I'm sorting by manufacturers in my collection. I pulled these as I figure they are all or almost all Master Marble Sunbursts or something better than your everyday mib. If you see something in this group that is not a Master Marble and can point it out and enlighten me, I sure would appreciate it. (I know, that one at 1 o'clock-ish next to the light blue looks like a slag but it is a brushed patch. There is a lot going on inside those 4 white patches too.) Thank you very much!

Not the most exciting post, I know. At least I think I have three groups of patches here. First is a group of translucent base patches. I am guessing that I have only Akro and Masters in here. I just need a little help. I need to know if you see the same or something in addition mixed in. I think on the right are the Moss Agates. I am thinking that tray on the right is maybe all Akro. Some glow under UV. This image has a bunch of who knows what but I believe they are opaque base and some may have opaque patches and others translucent or even transparent. There might be a good marble in that bunch. Thanks again!

Wow, I did pretty good, half a year ago I didn;t even know what a Vitro was. Great help there. I will take better images of the questionables and post again. Thanks. I'll be doing an exercise on Akro patches vs Master Marble patches or whatever else is out there. That is a nightmare. I must learn the seams and colors but at least I have them pulled.
