feelnmarbleous Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 And bought some mibs hehe, i just couldn't resist at the price i got them at, there was 3 jars with "Choice" of and i took them all, most are mint some are NM but still a darn good deal.. Some Akro Patches ? these all came in one jar.. These all came in one jar, looks like a few nice mibs in there And then these in the other jar.

MyMarbleBuddy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Oooooo! I see some I would like! Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Fun indeed, it's been awhile since ive found some vintage mibs at auctions on a good deal, most have been Handmades and even if folks don't know them to well they still know there old (well some times) most people a round here don't mess with machinemades...

david Chamberlain Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I can only guess at what you paid but I would have to say, "SCORED!" David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 love the akros. rest not too shabby either. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanks guys, and David all im going to say is CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP, i kind of like not having any competition in the Machine Mades, mostly it's due to lack of knowledge, i asked a guy yesterday who bought a Jabo for 76$ if he collected old marbles, he said yes but only hand mades, so i am assuming he thinks the Jabo was a Hand Made, the little baggy it was in, even said, Jabo with Aventurine & Oxblood, only thing it was lacking was the Oxblood..

disco005 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Wow!! I just went to an auction recently and was surprised to find a jar of marbles up on the block, won it, but nothing even close to what you have there, mostly Vitro. Great score!! I'm having fun just looking through your pictures -Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelnmarbleous Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sure is Felicia, i believe it's a Vitro... And thanks Jess hehe, ive hit a couple nice licks at the auctions since ive started (which wasn't long ago) it's kind of rare really to find them in the quality, quantity, and variety like Felicia said, my first couple scores though WOWZERSS!! i remember thsoe days like it was yesterday.. "Breaks to dreamy Like Thoughts" This was my first score ever, there was thousands more in this batch but man o man this was my first box of real vintage marbles,i purchased this box for 280$ and thought i was nuts for doing it, i barely knew what a Akro and Vitro was let alone some of the really rare stuff that was in this batch, i tried my best to sort them of which ones i really liked and thinking i had them sorted roughly by company LOL. Back then i had CAC disease LMAO!! Needless to say i sold 3 marbles out of that batch for 220$ and got darn near all my money back and got to keep what i liked, all in all it was great just for the learning part, nothing like having old mibs in hand to study and learn, pics in books just don't compare..
