  1. Thanks, Dave. There is an unusual brightness to the green even without UV, and the UV reaction is unusually bright too.
  2. I could see Akro but I wouldn't rule out dug - there were a few digs, and before that there were many diggers. 🙂
  3. Nice looking bunch of marbles - looks like there might be a few matches but I seriously doubt all the marbles are original to the board. I wish you good luck with the condition, though!
  4. Just don't spin 'em backwards. Nice slags, Rick. Does that third one have a cutoff/pontil on the opposite pole?
  5. Which are you thinking about, Steph - front left, maybe?
  6. Nice size - I'm thinking Akro.

    Champion?

    It looks Alley to me.
  8. Happy slag and swirl Saturday! Here's a slaggy swirl . . . A nice transparent green base and bright white - just shy of 7/8" and glows like crazy under UV.
  9. It looks like a West Virginia Swirl - Alley to me.
  10. My bet is that some of the marbles Akro packaged as Flinties did not show the opalescent fire. I say this because I have a few marbles that show the "fish eye" and other traits that point to Akro and they do not glow.
  11. I'm pretty sure Dave meant to type Liberty Rebel - hybrid between a Liberty and a Rebel. This is a great marble no matter what it's called. To me it sort of looks like a hybrid between an Orange Rebel (orange & black) and a Liberty (red & blue). Or maybe a Liberty Rebel + orange.
  12. Just in case you aren't aware, Craig S. now maintains a copy of Alan's ID guide: https://buymarbles.com/marblealanhome.html Might be easier to consult than the archive.
  13. I think Master left and Akro right - sorta hard to tell on the lower left one though.

    Akro?

    It looks like a Vitro Biscuits and Red Eye Gravy front right, two Akro Tricolors and an Akro patch.
  15. Ric

    Vitro?

    Yes, three nice TriLites and a Type IV Tiger eye upper right.
  16. This is one of the best recent discussions about these types so I thought a link was appropriate . . . . . . lots of photos and discussion.
  17. Nice marble, Jeff - does the "Moonie base" show opalescence?
