The Nickel Guy Posted December 21, 2024 Report Share Posted December 21, 2024 I just measured those two small ones. The 5 color is .54 Just over, the other is .49 though. Still nice lil fellers. I got another small one, in the batch too just a smidge larger than those. And a Red and White that is UVR I have several red and white but only this one glows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted Friday at 03:47 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 03:47 PM I see at least 3 Akro oxblood swirls and it looks like a couple handmades that might be French and might be Germans? I dunno? A few Akro corkscrews. Nice lot. Those four in a row are very pretty. I put a star next to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one imho-- 7 hours ago, The Nickel Guy said: Those four in a row are very pretty. I put a star next to them. The right hand one is a Pelt--middle row, yellow and green with some transparent color going on--- a very nice one of this type imho. The only Pelt here imho.Good eye!! The Veliglass is the big one at the top middle--pretty cool find! I will just bet that this one glows like a firefly. I want to see some more of the bottom row--the"middle one". "Green Ravens" are not an easy find--lets see some more of this one Yes I get it--there are some CAC shown here but these "Green Ravens" are a very good find imho--top notch!! Marble--On!!

I appreciate your opinion and it is a beauty--they all are top notch marbles--great find! Let’s call in @cheese with his new avatar for an opinion here along with @Ric—not for the crown jewel so much as the hardest to find. My hardest to find would be the Green Raven if that is what it truely is--the second hardest to find would be the one marked with a star on the lower left--a Killer CAC. Marble—On!!

I used the term Crown Jewel because my wife who’s my partner in our marble adventure is all in on Alley’s. She saw it right away when I was clueless. It was on her wish list so hence the term. Also the green raven could be an Alley as well. I’m torn on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it for sure--the red and white one is a Pelt--maybe a weak "Red Zebra". The one that flips my boat is the Akro "Oxblood Patch" with green involved. I am sure that everyone that looks at this group could pick a favorite and no one could agree for sure on the best. I am just saying "rarest" here. I know that anyone looking is drooling at one or another. Imho the Green Raven is the rarest..... and very close to being the coolest. Marble--On!!

Ric Posted Saturday at 06:28 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 06:28 AM Nice score @VaMarbles but I am not seeing an Alley Carnival or a Ravenswood Green Raven, have I missed them somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted Saturday at 09:05 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:05 PM Had my best Score in some time at the Antique Mall in Stewartville, MN. On Friday...waited until today to search through all these baggies plus 2 jars. Also grabbed 3 original packaged bags...the best part of today? Going through them with our very own Melissa! Had a blast, neighbor! It was great hooking up and sharing this score with you! We separated roughly 25 or so marbles I believe. We identified a few but most will be posted at some point for our fellow collectors here to help pin down ID's... 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
