The Nickel Guy

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.

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 ?

Thanks Art, they came in Mega Marbles net bags dated June or May 2025. I am stumped. Maybe just a freak wash out marble type between named marbles. I'll name them myself if that is the consensus. maybe Calico ?

These have a brown and purple swirl and or patch pattern, 5 are one kind and very iridescent. The other two not so much and show more subtle swirls and some yellow. Please help, I looked for an hour or two now and I am at a loss. I thought maybe Gazelle or Giraffe but they are not those, Thank you!

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.
