Another shout out to the York Nebraska marble museum and cateye1212 on ebay! Scored these two awesome deep amber pinch pontil Yasudas. One of them even has some nice teal inclusions!

Kim here. Favorites are JABO/DAS and more recently NLG. Have only been collecting about two years. I go to a lot of estate sales so have quite a bit of "everything"... or they might be nothing. Time & ID videos will tell🤭. This group has been super helpful... so glad I found you.

It's Akro Friday ❤️

Those Snakes are awesome! And just in case it has not been said enough, Akros are super cool!

A bit of swirl and Master love

12 on the board. Same Cane Plus 4 other bangers.

Love the colors

Woo hoo!! It's an Akro party ❤️ I especially like that bigger size Black and White in the upper right.

Approx 13/16" enjoying the sunshine

9/16" to 1-7/16" . I really would like to get my hands on a nicer horizontal Navarre. There was a member years back that had a nice handful, not sure if he's still around

My version (😥) also 1-1/4”

St. Marrys location i believe

This is how I currently see it, though others may certainly have differing opinions. From my understanding, the ‘Navarre’ style of marble was discovered at multiple Leighton factory sites during excavations, which suggests it was likely produced at more than one location as well.

I'm still looking for some of those hybrids. If anyone has any, let me know. And thanks again for the video Stephen!

And finally the wonky one.

Here is the white on blue and the white on green pair.

I found some interesting ones here in the SF Bay area, including a couple of color schemes not mentioned in the video. The first one appears to be orange glass with jelly red strips encased in clear. The last pic is taken under water to show the clear encasing. The second one is Orange on an opaque black. No transparency at all. The third one is white on the transparent blue, but the white is clearly encased in the transparent, not on the surface. The forth one is a pair of the white on transparent green that you mentioned. The fifth one is a really wonky brown on opaque white. It was with a group of normal looking bombers, but it slipped through QC somehow! Have you seen any like these before @stephenb?

Akro

No light will pass through an opaque base marble while translucent is almost transparent (Clear). Translucent (semi opaque) light will pass through but the glass base is not transparent (Hazy). Transparent is completely clear no matter the base color you can see clear through it.

Well, opaque is any color where no light passes through at all, not even with a very strong flashlight Translucent is like op, where light passes through, without being completely transparent

It can also have different shades and even turn black, if it has been kept in the oven furnace a long time

Jabo

Brown, not ox

I think Alta hit the mark! Beautiful whirlwind piece, the op

Thanks Laero21. I grabbed it cause my mom would have loved the color- purple was her favorite by far.

7/8, beat up, but still beautiful. Is this a type of Brick?

Here's how I sorted out my Pennyes

Well, I put a pillow under them 😊

May have one or two Akros or Vitros in here

I take no chances. Treat them like an unused hand grenade.

Very Interesting . . . Thanks you guys. I'm watching it now. “CdS Batch Stone” https://youtu.be/7Y_Mbjq0cUQ?si=oX6ya6nQ3_Ojjzz5

Rainbo imho

No Kokomo

@schmoozer @disco005 @Alta killer Akro eye candy everyone 👍🏼👍🏼

Found a marble that looks similar in the great West Virginia Swirls book, Pennsboro Alley section:

Agree that it doesn't look like a Pelt and does look like a really good, older WVS, likely Alley.

I once found one here in Italy with a glass similar to this one. It was part of an imperial group.

And backlit

Game marble 👍

Agree

Yes for the first two, I have a bit of doubt about the last one....seems imperial

Looks like a master

Yes nice one 👍🏼

Woah some of those are wild! 💥Thank you for sharing!

To me it's an American which Master packaged as cat's eyes, but which we are more familiar with as appearing in Alox packaging.

If it weren't for the measurements being so large, I would (perhaps) have attributed this to a 'Peltier Boyce second run 2001' cat's eye, weak, but those only reach a maximum of 0.669 (17mm) or 0.708 (18mm) I think it's a European marble, (perhaps) made in France? They probably made similar marbles, but I'm just guessing... Some images of a type of 'Peltier Boyce second run 2001', with a coloration similar to the op

Leaning vitro here

Colors and pattern look Alley.
