Well, no one has said CAC yet--I will.

Size always matters--nice, well cropped images matter too.

Repost this one with your very best images and be rewarded. Show all four sides of this cute little orb. (four sides of an orb--you get what I mean--cutlines on both sides and opposite to them on both sides.)

The thing is--These CAC "Guinea" marbles  have been faked by so many independant marble makers that some folks will get gun-shy as far as giving any positive ID. I am quite certain--80% is the best that I can do without any further images.

This one is worth it's own post in the ID section if you are up for it.

Nice marble--Marble--On!!

Here you go! These are some of my earlier photos of it. Like I said in another comment I am working on setting up a photo booth soon

Thanks, and welcome to "TheMarbleConnection".
Just a tip here--more light and closer shots---I can see that you are passionate about collecting these cute little orbs. 
We all want to be nice here and give you our best welcome but your Image work needs some more work so we can enjoy them even more.
Just ask and you will be rewarded—for sure.
We have all struggled with images in the past and many of us here have eye problems. Most of us have been rewarded just by asking for help.
There may just be a few left here that had to take images with film and scan them to get them on the board. Yes, I did use a Polaroid Camera back in the day. (are they really coming back?).
Marble—On!!

Agreed, lighting is something I am currently working on with that display. As for better photos, those are to come! I have much nicer photos I will post here, including the CAC Guinea from the other thread, and am working on setting up a little photo booth space to help take better more standard pics.

Welcome to the Marble Connection. Nice display - looks like your going to need another soon!

Thank you! I have one to hang up here soon. This is just for my personal favorites as well, I also have my akro corkscrew display, and a virginia swirl. I am excited to learn more and show off some of my own finds!
