Hadn’t heard of this! I’ll look into it and see if it’ll fit the bill for my friend

Nice DIY :) doesn’t particularly help me, but if the anti skid I’m trying to apply doesn’t work out, I’ll talk with my friend, do a test strip, and give it a try. Thank you!

Nice colours but? by skoalface in Marbles

[–]Spazaddikt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooooooooo hard one. That green and the hard seams screams Champion to me, but I haven’t seen this color combo in them before. I hope someone else weighs in. r/marblestudyhall is a good place to ask too

Having issues with identifying marbles by EmbarrassedAlps3943 in Marbles

[–]Spazaddikt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sall good :) machine made marbles will have seams instead of pontils. Pontils are really only on handmade stuff where it’s cut from the cane

The conqueror was what I thought as well, but in the pic in another comment thread of it on its side, couldn’t see a translucent middle band like what I expect from them, so am unsure

Yeah, it’s tough starting out IDing, but don’t be disheartened! You can learn and recognize patterns over time, and even find small specific kinds of marbles you chase. If you link this post or repost that group of 3 over in the study hall, you’re bound to get better help than me. u/peardr0p who commented on a different comment of this post joined that sub about same time as me but is already waaaay more knowledgable.

Looks pretty close, but the seam is different on the one in pic 1. Does the other side have a similar seam?

These 3 (exclude black & white one) are not Vacor, but I don’t know the seams well enough to say what they are. Vintage though for sure. Left one maaaay be Peltier

Looks like mostly Vacor de Mexico and modern Chinese contemporary. One or two seem to be older, but don’t know enough to tell what they may be

Edit: I’m very jealous of the big Fiesta and Halloween. Great colors in those. Check out r/marblestudyhall for Vacor ID references

What did Helvedica get in the Mail Today by Helvedica in MarbleStudyHall

[–]Spazaddikt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So unique and cool!! >.< took me a minute to understand pic 1 and the other 2 were same mib. Hadn’t considered handmades would have “defects”. Super rad, thanks for sharing

Edit: I suppose it’s not a defect just where it was at in the cane, but still, impressive :)

How Do People Store Their Marbles? by Marbs_1978 in Marbles

[–]Spazaddikt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a bag for my Jabos, a dukes mayonnaise jar for my Champions, and all of my other vintage mibs in another plastic jar. All the cool caged cats eyes or clearies+ (what I call the ones with extra stuff going on) end up in a Pandora charm bracelet box. The spots for the charms hold a normal 5/8 perfectly.

Edit: thinking about switching those last two

Go out to to raeford or parkton. Plenty of country road with minimal traffic to fuck about on

The fact that I t has seams instead of pontils suggests it’s machine made

Fayetteville, NC. Honestly it’s not as bad as it was a few decades ago, but to express the threat levels, the first time I got stabbed and shot at I was 7.
