The Nickel Guy

I think it's a jabo. I like it.

I'm gonna guess that that "black one" is a orange patch on a transparent dark blue or dark green?

Looks like a Heaton Sweet Pa tater to me.

I slept well last night! Thank you! I found this graded card . . . since I posted LOL I collect old non sports cards. It is a 1933 Chicle R102 no 35 It's an odd series which I found quite a few of. It's not mine. You can see the holes to use the string. Shows a picture of the back on eBay. link

Welcome!

I did the wow. Thought of Ignatz throwing bricks. lol Those are amazing specimens.

I bid on 55 marble lots and only won 3 but I am glad. I was lacking these Marble King Rainbows in my collection and they may be quite common but they have a certain nostalgic value for me. These were the kind in my bag, the Vitro's too and the rest that I played with were cats eyes. I can't wait til I get my shipping bill and pay for them. I think I did OK and many of the lots I passed on went quite high. This hobby is very alive and well. Total marbles on the way soon comes to just over 800! woo hoo!

Very nice! Going through them is always a lot of fun. You did well.

Deleted due to lack of interest

Those marks shown in the top right are not in the marble. It is a reflection of some kind. It appears to some degree on all 6 pictures.

At one time I had two old miniature team nodders. One was the Dodgers and the other I think was the Angels. They were like the big versions in every way except they were probably half the size. Sold them on eBay and they fetched a great price. Now I just have these SAMs Bobble Heads. Ripken, Ryan (set of 4 teams) and my Mickey Mantle. I have another Ripken here by somebody else too. I have a political one I am quite fond of but stay out of politics here.

OK, I imagine it would have appeared like this rotating top over bottom real fast huh? Thank you, off my bucket list LOL

Oh, I need the backside of the card to make it work. I don't have that, but I get it. Oh my, what wasted time I spent on that incomplete puzzle. Thank you. But I might make a rider by hand, lol and post.

I bet I can make a gif with it and make that work to show Ric. Stand by. . .

Thanks, I do get off beat marbles in those net bags. Sometimes good like this and other times, just plain duds. I must say Fire, I see that RAR in your sig line and have no idea what it means. I gots ta know.

I know it's a Vacor, I got it in a Hobby Lobby asst bag and I don't think it has a name. Thanks Akro

I have a spreadsheet inventory now of all 2359 Mega Marbles I have. This was my last entry and all caught up. It does not match anything else I have. It has some colors that I find in other named mibs but this one is in a class all by itself. Absolutely one of my favorites. I can see some butterfly and angelfish DNA in this mix. A run like this would be super cool but this might be a bit of a loner?

So here's an old hidden picture I guess. I wonder if anyone knows the answer. Many a time I pondered it, looked at it in negative, reversed it, rotated it and nothing. Don't tell me that the rider went into the saloon either for a beer or was thrown off and that's why we don't see him. I googled this and is is not found with an answer. If I gotta suffer, I won't be alone. Thank you. LOL

Thank you Joe! Well I do have to concur. It is a Rooster but just a little different. However, some of my other Roosters have a bit of a peronality of thier own as well. It is going to join the bunch. I have 34 loose ones and another bag of Top Notch Roosters in the coop. Very good, I do appreciate that help! Here it is now in front of the rest in two pics.

Very nice spheres.

Such beautiful marbles you people posted! I had this one in with the Orangutans but after a UV light check it is clearly different. This one is more reddish orange and thought maybe it was a mummy. There is a slight trace of green running along a swirl too. Am I right?

Old Bottles

Thanks fellers! The drill press would be much better as I can control the vertical angle which should be straight up and down and also how deep I go and pinpoint hole drilling on the grid I will measure better. I have a nice neighbor, I have to catch him in his garage, or . . . there is a public shop in the city where I think you can use woodshop tools on site for a monthly membership cost. I'd have to have several projects lined up to do in that month to make it worth the $80.00.

I have to get to a drill press someplace.

Thank you Akro. This might end up in my aquarium I never use. Has a light and a lid. LOL Maybe I shouldn't paint those pedestals after all.
