Wow! Those are spectacular

Thanks Steph, I'm still not sure how I feel about repair on a marble, so maybe sometime in the future. But for now I really like the idea that my marbles are almost 100 years old, in whatever condition I receive them. Since your post, I've been thinking about my collection. I definitely have a tendency to Moss Agates and Spirals. I also try for the unusual ones (lose ALOT) but always fun. Most of my collection has been individual purchases. Once in awhile I'll do a "shot in the dark" lot purchase, like this last one. I could identify an orange tightline spiral in the bunch, but had no idea of condition or what else was there, it wasn't really a great photo, but always fun to anticipate what else might be in there, like this Sparkler, it was definitely a bonus

Certainly not in any kind of display shape.... but my first Sparkler!!

That is a gorgeous marble, I love the bubbles

Thank you John! I'd love to see that Akro with AV, can't wait for pictures ! jeeperman, I love the different variations of orange on the chocolate ox, very nice And Winnie, that Ace has a very nice blue

Popeye it is The photo is labeled as a Popeye should be easy to remember. And the second marble, I never even considered it being an Imperial, but now that you mention it......

I haven't had McDonalds in forever, but I used to get the two cheeseburger meal, HAD to have Sweet and Sour sauce for the fries. everytime. Anyone else remember the Big Mac jinge? : Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion on a sesame seed bun. That used to get stuck in my head for days

Blue Green Snake

Green Snake. More striated glass, love it.

Very light blue bubbly Onyx

I go back and forth on that last mib. Some days it's a Popeye.....

Two color snake, only because I don't think there is enough whispy white to qualify it as a Popeye.

An opalescent base with a yellow and blue Akro blob lol

Four color corkscrew - Special.

Hard to focus on this one, couldn't figure it out. A cornflower blue and black corkscrew on a light blue translucent base.

Favorite orange snake. Striated glass.

I haven't seen too many Akros with this olive green coloring.

Another orange. Orange might be my favorite

This is one of my favorites, an orange cork on a smoky mossy bubbly base. I think there is a separate reddish ribbon laying over the top of a sunken light orange snake. It's most apparent in the third photo where the top red deviates from the orange.

A very light blue corkscrew on a very light amber base.

A salmon corkscrew on a deep black base. Hard to see in photos but there is a dark gray stripe running along side the lighter pink.

Yellow Onyx. Large bubbles.

A red and dark blue corkscrew on a mossy base...... Moss agate family?

Not sure where else to put this guy. A cork that messed up? Makes me think of a Hammerhead shark
