danthemarbleman Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hi everyone..... new to the marble connection. I've been collecting marbles now for the past 18 years and I'm currently going for the biggest collection in western Canada. Favorites are german swirles and machine made hybrids.

Royal3 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 I realized after browsing through here I never posted my mug shot and properly introduced myself - oops, sorry folks, better late than never I guess. I’m an old retired married guy in the NE Columbus, Ohio area, and I’ve been marble collecting for almost 20 years (well, almost 60 if you count my childhood Crisco can of cats, clearies, Marble Kings and Masters.) My favorites are unusual “see-thrus,” especially HTF Akro snakes, ribbons and Popeyes, the hand gathered faceted pontil slags fka Leightons, and smaller (1” or so) cloud onions. But if it’s round and pretty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Meteorite Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 My name is Joe, the pic is from 2010 when me and my son's, Josh and jojo, found the Mifflin meteorite main mass, on my 9 day of hunting, walking 18-20miles a day, walking and looking for 12+ hours a day rain or shine. Was the time of my life, I hunted with all the meteorite hunters and collectors that I look up to and someday hope to emulate. I'm from Mendota Illinois, I'm about to turn, forty in September. I love vintage machine made, also handmade, but prefer machine made.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancecrash Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ok, I'm game. Here is a quick bit. My name is David and I fell into this spherical world somewhat inadvertently when I purchased a large lot of marble in a local auction. My intention was to turn them over quickly, but I was sucked in. I really enjoy the beauty and craft of every marble, I have many Pelts it seems, but I think I may become a ravenswood collector. The depth and sharpness of the swirls are amazing to look at. I'm a rookie, so I am sure I will find other I enjoy equally. I am so pleased to have found this place, and appreciate all the help and patience everyone has granted me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I guess I'm up. I played marbles in the streets of Mexico as a youth and never lost the interest of marbles. I only had the cat eyed type and sometimes a shooter here and there but I never knew the culture, History and Collection ability that Marbles had. A week or so ago I purchased a few thousand marbles from a Gentleman that's been collection them for over 40 years and within that collection I received the Marbles that you fellas have been assisting me in Identifying. Here's a picture with my friend in Afghanistan before she was sacrificed(I'm the one on the left!). I am currently Retired from the Military did 13 Usmc and 7 Army, 3 Iraq 1 Afghanistan. Shows that Marbles are in all walks of life. Semper Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
