I am not seeing Akro but I am not sure what I am seeing.

Hey Chad, I was referring to this ad: It seems they are talking about Peppermints - I was wondering about mica "stars" to go with the stripes. At some point I am going to try to identify the earliest reference to American machine made glass marbles in this collection of ads.
-
I think the top two are Aquamilks. The bottom three are aquamarines. I like 'em.

Nice work, Chuck - pretty steady hand for an OG!
-
Looks like a machine-made that got twisted in the rollers. Given these views and the 1" size, I won't venture more than that.
-
Nice Tiger Eyes. Here's a little pink to go with that purple. And what I call a reverse Conqueror, just for fun.
-
This is a nice bit of work, Chad - a very nice contribution to the forum. I like the reference to "National Colors Marbles". I wonder if they had "stars" in them too - no mention I could find.
-
I do love Vitros, and you have some nice ones!
-
It's a big one.
-
I had not looked at the PAM book in years. The only Heaton names mentioned are: Dragon's Blood, Robins Egg, Green Snake, Fawn Swirl, Dad's Fancy, and Johnny Reb. But there probably aren't a lot of people who could put these names together with the corresponding marbles. I do believe Robin's Egg has stuck though.
-
I should have said that . . . Unfortunately, the quality of the many marble photos is not very good.
-
That's a nice group. It's always fun to try and fill a space - a box, a jar, whatever.
-
I think quite a few were named in Popular American Marbles.
-
It's an oddball, but if I saw either of those polar patches alone without the ribbons, I would say Pelt, for sure.
-
Yes, a photo or two would be great. "Playday" is not a mesh I am familiar with but I have seen Ravenswood marbles packaged in "Playtime" mesh bags.
-
Nice Akros! I don't collect them but I have a few.
-
As far as "are they Pelt or not"? I even wonder about these . . . I know some people say they are Pelts but . . .?
-
Like you, Chad, the black ones I have seen I was not convinced were Pelt. I have had a few that really had me thinking about the possibility though. I would have to see one that has no vanes (or very close to no vanes) to be convinced, and the one's I have seen have don't fit that description.
-
I'm always looking for the weird ones.
-
This one ^^ is great!
-
But I like fat Peltiers too! These are all big ones.
-
I have always enjoyed looking at cats - and those are a couple of nice ones. My favorites are the old Vitros that are stuffed to the gills.
-
That's what I'm talking about, Bill! Did you forget you had them or something? The Jolly Roger fits the thread perfectly - HTF 2 color corkscrews - great orange peel on that one. The other ones ain't bad either. How big are they again?
