Sure will, give me a bit though

This marble was in a lot I recently won, a nice surprise, I didn't see it in the photos provided. There was a similar marble in the lot, same size but way less Ox blood in it, just a thin strand. I don't know the maker though, any thoughts? It has that brushed on surface white that I associate with Vitro. 21/32"

That's great John I wish I had time for a reference or an inventory like that. I need to figure out a cool way to display mine. I've run out of room in my one little display box that I have, and right now my more recent purchases are just sitting on my desk lol. But with 50 hour work weeks and weekday obligations, too much going on. Ugh. Someday. For now, I'll just search and collect.

That is a beauty Ric! Great color combination and contrasts but I just received this one, the gray has a metallic quality to it, haven't seen this yet on a corkscrew. 21/32"

I've had this one for a while, I don't have many corkscrews with brown. 23/32"

That's cool! Maybe there was a run of them. And I'm a little curious about what you mean by working with one

I thought the grayish/blackish stripe along the outside of that red was strange, I was thinking it was just a bad mix between the colors.

I've purchased a few from him, first thing that comes to mind is EXCELLENT packaging. They come in a box and protected inside. I have no idea where he came from but the marbles I've purchased are great for the price, and I'm basing my purchases solely on the photos, rather than on the grading. And I have to agree, a LOT of the german handmade marbles have a polished look to them.

This one is new also, kind of unusual, to me anyway 21/32"

My new love, just received it this week a Blue Green Spiral.

Wish I could help, it sure is a pretty one, great collection!

Ack! The eyelashes, the subtle bubbles and the striations in that clear glass in that first Snake! Steph is right, I'm short of breath. Dang, I need to go to a show, I really really really need to go to a show. That thin orange snake is gorgeous too, Congrats!

This one went for a lot less than I thought it would, even with the annealing fractures, it's painful when you don't bid very high because you're pretty sure you can't afford it and it sells for much less than expected

Yay for marble mail! Is a jorkscrew a Jabo that looks like a cork? I think I've read that term before ....

The base of the one on the top right with the multi-blue cork is kind of strange as well, it also glows like crazy <3

Thanks Steph ! It is a strange one, I was skeptical on the pictures from the auction, but so glad I bid on it now It glows like crazy! The cork of the UV base is not really evident in the photos, but it actually is pretty clear with a bright flashlight and magnifier. I love the unusual ones If I had more $$ I would probably break into the Pelt world Someday.

These are beautiful, I've always loved the honey base <3 Thanks for sharing, one more to keep an eye out for!

Well, I certainly don't $52K for one marble, or even $10K for a great looking gumball machine full of beautiful handmades, but here are a few of my recent acquisitions

Wow! Great box! I'm curious about that blue on blue in the Ace row, far left gives me another reason to sort through my marbles lol

Vitro purples

Ooh I like those Wolverines!

Just a couple unusual Akro Spirals The green has a separate green ribbon running down through the center of the marble.

The yellow is a pretty fat ribbon, but I think of it as a Popeye. Thank you!

Wish these colors had mixed well together, the annealing fractures in this
