And then you have the opaque ones These you want 🤓

Not sure why you would make a torch marble and then beat it up and sell it as a near mint marble.

Can I cry now or later

Type 3

Might as well dream big right

I've not kept up to date on current marble finds. This used to be quite rare. Has anyone else found one lately?

Zzzzzzz.....

I posted a boxed Jaques set with 9/16" pink/green onions in August. Here's another late Victorian Jaques set with blue/pink/green onions. Can't imagine how many small onions Jaques must have imported from Germany for their sets!!

Some of mine same colors.

It perfectly fits the type 3 definition as written. It’s a very simple clear description

I see 3 white ribbons and 2 seams so I don’t think it’s a slag. My question is. Is it a CAC striped transparent of some sort🍿🔥 RAR

Wolf this might help give you some basic information on those wild days: https://www.westvirginiamarblecollectorsclub.com/jabo-inc-contract-runs

That is a Vacor Flame 🙂

Not all were made at Jabo. That's where it started but there were other investor runs. After Dave left Jabo, he continued making marbles. Dave's Appalachian Swirls or DAS is one name you'll find when you research these.

Oxblood sparkler with aventurine

No problem Alta, over at AAM we mention and link to threads over here at MC all the time. Years ago there were problem people (mainly one) that caused a great division but that's long gone and over now. AAM is a tool in the bag, same as MC and we should all feel at home at either and both simultaneously. Both are about helping the hobby along. Thanks for your confidence. I still think it's European.

Same set, I just had wooden box made for the mibs. It took a while but I did it. No offset av patches all clear stamps, no fleas or dimples, mint, I'm a happy camper

Type 2

Type 1

I believe it’s Foreign but not a Whispler🔥 RAR

Thanks

Alley IMHO.

Doink🔥 RAR

Not verry common to find an EOD coat like this, I got a lot of $$ for this one, 1 & 3/16ths a monster for a coat of this type and gem mint, bye bye

Mk

I have a decent collection of marbles I set aside going through a lot of assorted Mega Marble bags. Here's a group shot of some I picked out tonight while re-organizing them, I like all kinds but I have an awful lot of fun with these Mexican mibs. I think they are rather pretty sometimes. This white one has a black whale on one side. Just the slightest hint of light blue swirls on the other. Looks mostly all white in hand. It is a crazy White Tiger.

@Melissa will sort this one out for sure. This one is a MK imho--nice one as well!! Marble--On!!

Akro Moss Agate🔥 RAR

Thanks for including me. I agree with Chad too. These look like Yasudas, or Japanese transitionals. Just to add, crease pontils are typical of Seike, the largest marble maker in pre-war Japan.

1. Blue Spiral 17/32" 2. Green Ringer 21/32" 3. Blue Spiral with the thinnest Green 5/8" Marble Show treasures

Wasssss up William nice to see you back around 😀 👍🏼

That is a beauty and I would have it with my Akros..

Here is one i grabbed years ago. Just backlit for the first time

Vacor Cats Eye. I don’t think it’s Asian🔥 RAR

Alley here

X2, Royal

👍 This was another surprise that shocked me! In the sun, it explodes! 😄

Size is .6 It’s being sold as a striped opaque. I love this coloring. I thought it looked right, but I’ve never seen this color combo before so I wanted to double check with those who know better.

This came up in my phone I guess it makes stuff for me now 😂 I usually take pics of my scores it grouped them

I'm really at a loss with this one

Thanks Fire1981 and Akroorka for your comments. At first glance this marble appears to be a NLR Patriot but then you see those extra colors and peach, really unusual for Peltier, right? After looking at this marble again I do see some Vitro characteristics and it's less unusual for Vitro to have five or six colors. So, in the end we know not every marble can be positively identified, what's important is the discussion. I welcome more opinions ☺️

looks like a bit of everything

X3, no Akro

Looks like one of those marbles that would help to have in hand to ID.

Ill say champion on this

Definitely not CAC.

Late Alley to me.

Marble Show treasures: 1. Cobalt and Yellow on a wispy White 11/16" 2. Two stream Blue Onyx 5/8" 3. Odd Oxblood and Yellowish corkscrew 19/32" 4. Orange Spiral on a transparent Red base 5/8" 5. Orange Spiral 5/8" That Yellow in #3 makes me think of Harvest Gold appliances from the 70s haha It's almost Akro Friday 🤩
