That's a nice clean marble, Dave - great egg yolk too.
-
Boy howdy, Art, those are the coolest Akro bags I've ever seen - very special, and the marble is great too!
-
I don't think it's a furnace marble but it might be a twisted Champion.
-
I thought about Realers but I have never seen one with white up under/surrounding the patch. I have never seen a single color Opal either. But of course, I haven't seen them all.
-
I think many, if not all, of these are Vitro Phantom Conquerors.
-
Just for you, Art.
-
Unfortunately, Rick, I wouldn't know a German Sub if it bit me in the rear. Please teach me a little about them.
-
What has been the consensus on the maker of these?
Ric replied to bumblebee's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I'd guess MK. -
The first one might be Heaton. And I usually associate cold-rolls with "ridges" or "thumb-nail marks", while orange peel is more like what you see on a lot of big Vacors, whether there are cold rolls or not.
-
Not oxblood, and it may be JABO, as Rick said.
-
The first is probably Alley, that sort of yellow is very uncommon on Ravenswood, but I do believe the second on is Ravenswood.
-
Me too, and it wouldn't surprise me if many are the product of child labor. The red one is very cool!
-
I've sent multiple marbles vacuum-packed in tubes made from seal-a-meal bags. I have also rolled them up in thin packing foam with a disc of the same material separating the mibs - sort of like packing pennies in a paper tube. The second option is the easiest, and the easiest to unpack too.
-
The base color sure is distinctive - nice marble!
-
The best Halloween marble I have ever seen!
-
I agree it's not made in the US but I've seen Vacors that get twisted up like this too.
-
I agree, it looks like a patchy cork or a corky patch, and the colors do look Akro to me. I just don't think I've seen them all on the same marble before. But something seems a little off too so I'm having a hard time committing.
-
In my experience, the interior of Acme Realers is usually more wispy.
-
Sometimes it is hard to tell whether these types are Marble King or Vitro but I am leaning slightly toward Marble King with these.
-
Another group of sundry Germans . . .
-
That is a beauty. They always look so nice with a fully matched set of marbles.
-
I would say a Peerless Patch with a little extra. Check it for AV sparkles with a bright light.
-
If you have luck like I had here you're gonna win big!
-
I am all in on Vitro.
