    Hmmmm . . .

    I am with you! It's the only company where I have seen all of these colors. As requested - one seam is a bit odd. You were on it early, Joep, but I think this Vitro is from Vienna.
  2. I would go along with Navarre. The only other possibility I can think of is Barberton and I don't think this color is right for them.
  3. Hope you don't mind the edits, Chris, you've got to look close at this marble . . . It's a seriously cool core, so fine, almost like a ghost latticino, there are more filaments than first catch the eye, for sure.
  4. That's exactly how I remember them!
  5. He's the guy I got that nice Norland box from!
  6. Leave it to Steph - I so remember this now that you bring it up!

    Now you're just toying with me . . . and you know I'm an odds guy. Yeah, Steph, notice the "s" on that "odds" too!

    Hmmmm . . .

    I appreciate the input folks, please keep it coming. It seems we are all in agreement . . . It's not a WV Swirl. 😊
  9. There are a bunch of nice Vienna marbles in this post!
  10. Excellent photography, as usual. That last one is really cool!

    Oxbood..

    I agree, this one is the outlier.

    Hmmmm . . .

    There is some depth to the trans ribbons but no where near that much.

    Hmmmm . . .

    I know what I'd like it to be but I sure would like to hear some other opinions!
  14. Just another comment, FWIW. If you look at the text-setting (alignment, spacing, etc.), especially on the word "STRAIGHT", it's pretty much a mess compared to other examples of this logo I have seen on Akro boxes (e.g., the "R" looks about to fall on its face) - again, not the sort of quality I would expect from Akro.
  15. Thanks, Bruce. I guess I never really paid much attention to that section since I am not real big on hand-made marbles. It's interesting to me that they were sized in 1/8" increments, except the difference between a No. 0 and No. 1, which was a difference of 1/16" and the increment between No. 8 & No. 9 & No 10, which were 3/16"each. Honestly, the sizing system described seems a bit arbitrary to me, but I suppose it helped cover the bigger sized ones. The American machine-made system is much more standardized. As far as I know, it uses 1/16" increments throughout (No. 00 = 9/16, No. 0 = 10/16, No. 1 = 11/16, etc.), which makes it much more sensible, at least to me.
  16. I came across a group of these a long time ago - they're pretty crazy!
  17. Yeah, it seems a little counterintuitive to open the long flap. For reference, you can check out my box with its contents here.
  18. I forgot to ask, does the windowed top of the Master box lift up to open or does the box open at an end flap?
  19. I'd be interested to see what Everett was talking about. Can you give me the edition and page number? Thanks.

    ID help

    I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this one out from the pics. If the base is trans red, I doubt it's Alley.
  21. They're all nice but these^^ really float my boat!
