akroorka Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 Just pick out your favorite marble/marble related item and post it. I will!đ--a really tuff assignment, I know--just pick your favorite today--still tuff but here goes--- I never met Nadine MacDonald in person. She was the pinnacle ofâjust being a nice personâ that collected marbles. She shared all of her knowledge freely and never with any contempt for those who challenged her. She was a âMarble Jediâ for sure. (She did know her Pelts very well) She also made some hand painted and glazed marbles that should be cherished by all. This one is one inch and I feel blessed just to have it. MarbleâOn Nadine!!  4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 I am very fond of my spotted dicks. From the Advent Calendar my marble friends surprised me with in 2019.  2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMarbles Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 1â Slag that is our favorite for two reasons, we love slagâs and how we came upon it.  Was at our first major auction with many local collectors.  Didnât have a clue about marbles since we had just started collecting (spring 2023).  All the seasoned collectorâs bought every lot except the last one, I think they felt sorry for us.  Was in the bottom of the dish all covered up.  After that moment we were hooked. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal3 Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 This 7/8â mint faceted pontil onion is still my favorite - Iâve not seen another like it. Iâve always called it Io for itâs tortured, boiling hot looking glass, frozen forever⌠ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted December 27, 2024 Report Share Posted December 27, 2024 This is a recent rerun from the "Score" thread but it is one of my smallest but favorite marbles. A smidge over 1/2 inch. Just a skosh. Akro Agate 5 color Corkscrew. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted December 28, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 Another day another favorite--- I have shown this frame before and I will show it again today. These frames originally came with one color of marble generally transparent colored blue or clear with a frosted finish in my experience. I am trying to get a bigger frame of this type filled but these frames only accept 9/16â marbles and I want to fill it with Akro corks. Akro did make 9/16â marbles but they are pretty hard to findâa work in progress. The nice thing is that only one side showsâstill a hard find for me. I just love this stuffâcollecting that is. MarbleâOn!!  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
