I like the second one better, Joep. But to really do a good experiment, I think you would have to take the photos on the same background at about the same time of day (so the sun is hitting the marble in about the same spot) and with the marbles in the same position (so you capture the same view of the marble under each condition).

Hello Eric, Welcome aboard!

Pretty marble, Joe, I really like the nice brown colors - I think it's and Akro.

Lashes aren't only found on Akro, of course, but that's part of why I was thinking Akro too. The shape and pattern of the top patch and the seams remind me of the Uniques I have been studying lately too. But I have to admit I have not seen another Akro like it. On the other hand, I haven't seen a Marble King like it either.

I don't recognize these as being American made, Joep, but I am not sure I have ever seen a Coca Cola logo marble that was American made, at least not by an American marble manufacturer. Maybe somebody else has?

Marble King did not produce a true black color. What often appears black is really dark purple, and where that color thins out over white it definitely takes on a lighter purple color but not a purple like this one, IMO. It seems to me that the prominent colors on this marble are green and purple, and there is some blue too. I think those dark colored streaks up in and near the top patch are where these colors come together in various ways to make dark or light browns depending on their "concentrations" or "thickness". In other words, I don't think the purple you see is coming out of those dark streaks like what you might see on a MK.

I agree, it's got a pretty nice spin on it too.

I'm going against the grain and thinking Akro.

Pretty neat, it's a new one to me. It seems like the idea is to build a maze and then move a marble through it by tipping the box. I found a bit more information here.

That's a real brick - they were very popular with players back in the day and they really don't even look like a brick until they get a bunch of surface wear. Calling mint ones bricks almost seems silly since most don't look anything like a brick. 🙂

I especially like the TriLite with black, and the Spotted Dick, and the Gooseberry, and, and, and . . . bunch of nice ones!

What size are they?

I should say, the marble you posted might be Peltier but the only way I would call that is if it was in original packaging because there are just too many foreign ones that look like the split oddballs. And having said that, I still think yours is probably foreign. 🙂

Back in the 60s-70s there was sort of a "fried marbles" craze in the arts and crafts world. I remember my Mom "frying" some and making a bunch of grapes from them.

That looks much more like a Peltier. If they have any vanes at all they are usually greatly reduced - maybe more like ridges. Here are some big ones . . .

There are lots of foreign marbles that are vintage and Heatons are vintage marbles too.

Yup . . . And lots that are plain four vane styles that look a bit like MKs.

This one might be foreign, or maybe Heaton. Peltier Bananas are not usually "split" like this one.

If the red Moss Agates on the right glow some people might call them Cherryades.

Yup a burnt Christmas Tree.

The purple ones look like slags. Most of the red ones on the right appear to be Akro Moss Agates. That is what appears to be a very nice larger Peltier Bronze Zebra in the middle of the photo - it warrants a closer look - check it for AV. And that's an Akro Corkscrew to the right of it. The yellow patches up top also appear to be Moss Agates.

I agree with, Chad.

It'd take more views of each to dare a guess - lots of companies used fluorescent glass.

I'm not seeing Alley. Sorta looks like a messed up corkscrew or maybe a Jorkscrew - fractures are a bummer.

Akro Lemonades, Limeades, Oxblood. and some others that don't look Akro from this view.
