This one looks hand-gathered to me - I'm thinking about a transitional but I'm having a tough time making out the cutoff/pontil. It seems to me that it might be from Navarre or another of those early Ohio companies.
-
I don't know who might have made these, Joep, but the green one doesn't impress me as American made and the other doesn't impress me as JABO - the structure looks JABOish but the seedy glass doesn't IMO, and it doesn't point to any American maker for me either.

Thanks, Dave. There is an unusual brightness to the green even without UV, and the UV reaction is unusually bright too.
-
I could see Akro but I wouldn't rule out dug - there were a few digs, and before that there were many diggers. 🙂

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

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! -
Thanks for the heads-up, Dave!
-
Just don't spin 'em backwards. Nice slags, Rick. Does that third one have a cutoff/pontil on the opposite pole?
-
Which are you thinking about, Steph - front left, maybe?
-
I see Akro too.

Akro X2

Nice size - I'm thinking Akro.

Yellow Jackets . . .

Type III Tiger Eyes . . .

This one is 7/8" . . .

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.

It looks like a West Virginia Swirl - Alley to me.

Do Moonies and Flinties always have fire?
Ric replied to Melissa's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
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. -
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.

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. -
I think Master left and Akro right - sorta hard to tell on the lower left one though.
-
It looks like a Vitro Biscuits and Red Eye Gravy front right, two Akro Tricolors and an Akro patch.
-
Yes, three nice TriLites and a Type IV Tiger eye upper right.
