Melissa Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I need help IDing this one. Is it sunset, Santa, rainbow, or something else? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carowill Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Clear seedy base Rainbo Peltier with red, yellow, green and white ribbons. Sunset type but not Santa IMHO. Rainbow is a Marble King term and Rainbo is a Peltier term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live further down the road towards the Wisconsin border, but was in Mabel last weekend. You have a nice antique shop in town. I bought a bunch of uranium glass, but she didn't have any marbles.

With her prices, I'm sure you will be back one day. Deb's Corner is the business name I believe... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to the one in rural Decorah right off the border and the one in Harmony and haven’t had much luck finding any. I was maybe going to try the one in Cresco.

The one in Cresco is not very big...I've been there a few times and the only mibs I saw were modern Asian cat's eyes. I did walk away with a few slag pieces but I don't think they put much into restocking their goods. Harmony is kinda up and down. Sometimes I walk away empty handed, other times I scored multiple times in a single visit. Vendors usually come in the first week of each month too collect their money from sales. This is usually when they add new inventory. Some live a good distance away and they usually kill 2 birds with one stone doing it this way. Had a thought..ever try Crazy Frank's? I see it advertised alot on TV and I think it's within distance of you. Never been there myself, but it's a sizable place from what I have seen and heard 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some that aren't online that I found in the Lacrosse area. Not sure if they are still around or not. They were pretty small but had good stuff. Let's see some of your scores from downtown!!!

We did lol I did not see that bird on the wall on Caledonia Street. Ha. I would show you pics of what I scored at the local antique shops but they're all mixed in with others I've accumulated over the past month. I've literally been collecting for maybe 4-6 weeks and I already have quite the stash! I've mostly found mine just by asking around. This photo are some that I got from a guy on craigslist. He and I both knew nothing about marbles, he allowed me to cherry pick, and from what people have told me I made quite a few good selections for the price. Here they are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
