    It's still a great find, Tommy. I think the only one I've ever had in hand was Bill's and he probably made me turn my pockets inside out before he let me touch it.

    I am not sure what the term "chocolate oxblood" describes other than Akro marbles like Bill's. But I'd be happy to learn more about it.

    See if you can find one with a red anywhere near that Ravenswood's. 😀
  4. Ric
    Oh yeah, it's Ravenswood. Remember that red, Art. Alley made a good red too but when Ravenswood was on their game nobody could hold a candle to theirs, IMO.

    I agree, the green one is really cool - looks sort of like a Grenier to me.

    You're looking at the wrong marble, Art. Check the upper right mib in the right bag. The red on your marble is the Ravenswood tell.

    That's a great document. It makes me sad to see such an iconic name now being used solely for marketing purposes. I feel the same way about Bell & Howell's name being used to market cheesy products on TV.

    Very nice examples and a super interesting topic. I bumped a post in the archives that you may want to check out.

    Just bumping this for @hdesousa It's on e of the best discussions I could recall about trade marble beads.

    I think chocolate oxblood may have become a marketing term.

    As far as I know, Akro Chocolate Oxbloods have an oxblood patch on a chocolate colored base. Here is one of the best I've seen. @mibcapper posted it about 10 years ago.

    Take a look at those opened mesh Ravenswood bags I posted earlier, and then you tell me. It's a sweet one, Art!

    It's my Magic Bean - thanks to @Steph putting that name to it.

    Nice mibs, Dave. Sometimes simple is oh so sweet. I really like this tan one!

    I'm always looking for those batch-glass white tracers. They add a little extra zing to a good Alley.

    All very nice. The green glower is super!
  20. Ric
    Most definitely, Nice one too!

    What type Rebel?

    Ric replied to Akro75's topic in Marble I.D.'s

    I agree, an Orange Rebel.
  22. Ric
    Because the Ball's were squares?

    Thanks for this, Ron!
