disco005 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hello everyone, I’m Jessica (Jess), I’ve been around here for a few years, mostly just stalking the page, popping in and checking out the pictures lol! I collect almost strictly Akro, but have a couple I’ve collected of other machine makers and handmades. I started collecting about 12 years ago when I came across a box of marbles at an estate sale and was curious about them, little did I know what I was getting into :\ I found this page and have been hooked since. The photo was taken last summer, my brother took me on a nice trip for my 40th birthday. -Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 If I recognized that structure I would have tried to make a joke about how much clear that akro astronomical sighting was in that country. Foiled again by my lack of culture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 That always makes me think of the evil cartoon character "Curses! Foiled again!" It was a perfect day for marble sighting, I found this huge one suspended under the Arc de Triomphe in the City of Love Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockgardenplants Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Greetings, "This is me." - Kim Luck, M*A*S*H episode I've been collecting and selling marbles for about 12 years. My fun and joy come from machine mades, especially Vitros, handpicked flames from any manufacturer as well as a few contemporary made marbles.

Steph Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi there! I don't recognize the M*A*S*H reference but nice to see you. And nice hat. Hats are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 If hats are cool I'd better post a picture with a hat Richard. Newcomer to the world of marbles and no strong preference for machine made or hand made so far and just buying what interests me / has aesthetic appeal. No interest in rarity at the moment - I'd rather have a set of nice looking sunbursts than a sulphide (each to their own ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I do love hats. And the jacket is mighty fine too. I get so effusive over hats, that I once got a marriage proposal out of it. Not kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 1 hour ago, Steph said: I do love hats. And the jacket is mighty fine too. I get so effusive over hats, that I once got a marriage proposal out of it. Not kidding. The coat is Belgian - but the hat is from your side of the pond. I had it custom made for me by a wonderful hatter in Eugene, Oregon. I think I've got about 30 hats (a sensible number compared to the amount of marbles I've been picking up ).

JerryG Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 So, I guess I should join in. Jerry. On again, off again collector. Quit collecting seriously more than 10 years ago, restarted collecting this past November. Was a high-end machine made collector back in the day and now just looking for cool Peltier Rainbos. A picture of the two old men. Rudy will be 18 in August and the other old fart turned 69 in March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Neace Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 My Name is Ray and I have been collecting for a few years. I have studied machine made swirls for a long time. Cut my teeth on Alley Agate then did research on Jackson where I have at one time or another have owned aprox. 90% of the styles that they have made. I have been the owner of three of the Jackson bags. I am currently learning Christensen Swirls and hope to share some pictures with the forum in the future.

rockgardenplants Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 This is me! I love machine made NLR Peltier, opaque Ravenswood, and flamed Alleys. Contemporary handmades are fun, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindPW Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 My name is Dave and I have been collecting for a few weeks now. I haven't singled out any one type of marble yet, but just enjoy learning. I am also a collector of antique Fruit Jars/Mason jars and enjoy photography, whiskey, and cigars.😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
